• Application: Grinding, sharpening, and deburring

To use the Makita GB602W, ensure the unit is securely bolted to a stable workbench to prevent movement during operation. Before starting, inspect the grinding wheels for any cracks or damage and ensure the tool rests and eye shields are properly adjusted to your working position. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and hearing protection, before switching the power on. Allow the motor to reach full speed before applying the workpiece to the wheel, using light, steady pressure to achieve the desired finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your workbench has sufficient space for the unit
• Verify that the 150mm wheel size meets your specific sharpening needs
• Confirm access to a standard power outlet

For optimal performance and safety, regularly inspect the grinding wheels for wear and replace them when they reach the minimum diameter. Keep the work area clean and ensure the tool rests are adjusted close to the wheel to prevent the workpiece from becoming trapped.
