Installing or removing depressed center
grinding wheel/Multi-disc (optional
accessory)
WARNING:
• Always use supplied guard when depressed center
grinding wheel/Multi-disc is on tool. Wheel can shatter
during use and guard helps to reduce chances of
personal injury. (Fig. 8)
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel/disc
on the inner flange and screw the lock nut onto the
spindle.
WARNING:
• Never use a more than 6.5 mm thick grinding wheel.
Super flange
Models with the letter F are standard-equipped with a
super flange. Only 1/3 of efforts needed to undo lock nut,
compared with conventional type.
NOTE:
• Only for tools with M14 spindle thread
For Australia and New Zealand (Fig. 9)
Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel/disc
on the inner flange and screw the lock nut with its
protrusion facing downward (facing toward the wheel).
To 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. (Fig. 10)
To remove the wheel, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
Installing or removing abrasive disc
(optional accessory)
NOTE:
• Use sander accessories specified in this manual.
These must be purchased separately. (Fig. 11)
Mount the rubber pad onto the spindle. Fit the disc on the
rubber pad and screw the lock nut onto the spindle. To
tighten the lock nut, press the shaft lock firmly so that the
spindle cannot revolve, then use the lock nut wrench and

To remove the disc, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
Installing or removing Ezynut (optional
accessory)
CAUTION:
• Do not use Ezynut with Super Flange or angle grinder
with "F" on the end of the model No. Those flanges are
so thick that the entire thread cannot be retained by the
spindle. (Fig. 12)
Mount inner flange, abrasive wheel/Multi-disc and Ezynut
onto the spindle so that Makita Logo on Ezynut faces
outside. (Fig. 13)
Press shaft lock firmly and tighten Ezynut by turning the
abrasive wheel/Multi-disc clockwise as far as it turns.
Turn the outside ring of Ezynut counterclockwise to
loosen. (Fig. 14 & 15)
NOTE:
• Ezynut can be loosened by hand as long as the arrow
points the notch. Otherwise a lock nut wrench is
required to loosen it. Insert one pin of the wrench into a
hole and turn Ezynut counterclockwise.
• Only for tools with M14 spindle thread

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. 16)
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with one hand on rear handle
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.
