Operation - Makita LXT DGA404 Betriebsanleitung

tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that the
spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench and
securely tighten clockwise.
To remove the disc, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
NOTE:
• Use sander accessories specified in this manual.
These must be purchased separately.

OPERATION

WARNING:
• It should never be necessary to force the tool. The
weight of the tool applies adequate pressure. Forcing
and excessive pressure could cause dangerous wheel
breakage.
• ALWAYS replace wheel if tool is dropped while
grinding.
• NEVER bang or hit grinding disc or wheel onto work.
• Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially
when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can
cause loss of control and kickback.
• NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades and other
sawblades. Such blades when used on a grinder
frequently kick and cause loss of control leading to
personal injury.
CAUTION:
• Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with the
workpiece, it may cause an injury to operator.
• Always wear safety goggles or a face shield during
operation.
• After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until
the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting
the tool down.
Grinding and sanding operation (Fig. 19)
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing
and the other on the side handle. Turn the tool on and
then apply the wheel or disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the edge of the wheel or disc at an angle
of about 15 degrees to the workpiece surface.
During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work
the grinder in the B direction or it will cut into the
workpiece. Once the edge of the wheel has been rounded
off by use, the wheel may be worked in both A and B
direction.
Operation with abrasive cut-off/diamond
wheel
Optional accessory
WARNING:
• When using an abrasive cut-off/diamond wheel, be
sure to use only the special wheel guard designed
for use with cut-off wheels.
(In some European countries, when using a diamond
wheel, the ordinary guard can be used. Follow the
regulations in your country.)
• NEVER use cut-off wheel for side grinding.
• Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the
12
wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback, wheel
breakage and overheating of the motor may occur.
• Do not start the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully enter
into the cut moving the tool forward over the
workpiece surface. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is started in the workpiece.
• During cutting operations, never change the angle
of the wheel. Placing side pressure on the cut-off
wheel (as in grinding) will cause the wheel to crack and
break, causing serious personal injury.
• A diamond wheel shall be operated perpendicular
to the material being cut. (Fig. 20)
As for the installation, follow the instructions for
depressed center wheel.
The direction for mounting the lock nut and the inner
flange varies by wheel type and thickness.
Refer to the following figures.
For 100 mm (4") model
When installing the abrasive cut-off wheel: (Fig. 21)
When installing the diamond wheel: (Fig. 22)
For 115 mm (4 - 1/2")/125 mm (5") model

Operation with wire cup brush (optional
accessory)
CAUTION:
• Check operation of brush by running tool with no load,
insuring that no one is in front of or in line with brush.
• Do not use brush that is damaged, or which is out of
balance. Use of damaged brush could increase
potential for injury from contact with broken brush
wires.
Remove the battery cartridge from the tool and place it
upside down allowing easy access to spindle. Remove
any accessories on spindle. Thread wire cup brush onto
spindle and tighten with supplied wrench. When using
brush, avoid applying too much pressure which causes
over bending of wires, leading to premature breakage.
(Fig. 25)
Operation with wire wheel brush (optional
accessory)
CAUTION:
• Check operation of wire wheel brush by running tool
with no load, insuring that no one is in front of or in line
with the wire wheel brush.
• Do not use wire wheel brush that is damaged, or which
is out of balance. Use of damaged wire wheel brush
could increase potential for injury from contact with
broken wires.
• ALWAYS use guard with wire wheel brushes, assuring
diameter of wheel fits inside guard. Wheel can shatter
during use and guard helps to reduce chances of
personal injury.
Remove the battery cartridge from the tool and place it
upside down allowing easy access to spindle. Remove
