3. Einstellen des Radschutzes
The tool features a toolless wheel cover (part number 123145-8) for quick adjustment. Loosen the clamp lever, rotate the guard to the desired position to protect against sparks and debris, and then tighten the lever firmly.
4. Installing Grinding/Cutting Wheels
To install a wheel, first ensure the tool is off and the battery is removed. Press the spindle lock button to prevent the spindle from rotating. Place the inner flange onto the spindle, then position the grinding or cutting wheel (e.g., 5" Depressed Centre Wheel D-20797) onto the inner flange. Secure it with the lock nut and tighten it firmly using the provided lock nut wrench (part number 782424-9).

Bedienungsanleitung
1. Powering On and Off (Paddle Switch)
This grinder is equipped with a two-stage safety paddle switch to prevent accidental start-up. To start the tool, first slide the lock-off lever forward, then depress the paddle switch. To stop, simply release the paddle switch.
Figure 6: Close-up of the paddle switch and lock-off lever. The lever must be engaged before the paddle switch can be depressed to start the tool.

2. Variable Geschwindigkeitseinstellung
The variable speed dial allows for RPM adjustment from 3,000 to 8,500. Rotate the dial to select the appropriate speed for your application. Lower speeds are suitable for polishing or delicate work, while higher speeds are for aggressive grinding or cutting.
Figure 8: Detail of the variable speed dial, allowing users to select RPM settings from 1 to 5.
Figure 9: A chart on the tool body correlating dial settings (1-5) with their respective RPM ranges, from 3,000 to 8,500 min⁻¹.
3. Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) and Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT)
This tool incorporates advanced safety and performance features:
- Aktive Rückkopplungssensorik (AFT): Automatically shuts down the tool if there is a sudden drop in rotation speed, such as during a kick-back event, enhancing user safety.
- Automatische Drehmomentantriebstechnologie (ADT): Adjusts speed and torque automatically during operation for optimal performance based on the load, ensuring efficient material removal.
4. Elektrische Bremse
The integrated electric brake stops the grinding or cut-off wheel in 2 seconds or less after the paddle switch is released, contributing to increased productivity and safety.
5. Batterieladeanzeige
The tool features a battery charge indicator to monitor the remaining battery life. Refer to the indicator lights to determine when recharging is necessary.

6. Allgemeine Nutzung
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Apply even pressure and allow the tool to do the work. Avoid excessive force, which can lead to kick-back or damage to the workpiece or tool. Always ensure proper ventilation and clear the work area of bystanders.

Wartung
1. Reinigung
Regularly clean the tool's ventilation openings to prevent overheating. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
2. Bürstenloser Motor
The brushless motor design eliminates the need for carbon brush replacement, reducing maintenance requirements and increasing motor lifespan.
3. Batteriepflege
Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not expose batteries to water or extreme temperatures. Follow the charging instructions provided with your Makita charger.
4. eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT)
The tool features XPT, which provides enhanced protection against dust, debris, and liquids. While XPT improves durability, it does not make the tool waterproof. Avoid exposing the tool to excessive moisture.
Fehlerbehebung
- Tool startet nicht: Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Check that the paddle switch lock-off lever is fully engaged before depressing the paddle switch.
- Tool Stops During Operation: This may indicate activation of the Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT) due to a sudden drop in rotation speed (e.g., kick-back). Release the paddle switch, clear any obstruction, and restart the tool. If the issue persists, check the wheel for damage or excessive wear.
- Reduzierte Leistung: Ensure the battery is fully charged. Check the grinding/cutting wheel for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Verify that the correct speed setting is selected for the application.
- Übermäßige Vibration: Check if the grinding wheel is properly installed and balanced. Replace any damaged or unbalanced wheels. Ensure the side handle is securely tightened.
