How to use

Select an appropriate 230 mm disc for the intended task and ensure it is rated for the grinder's maximum speed. Fit the disc securely following the manufacturer's mounting procedure and use the correct protective guard. Install a compatible 18 V battery and check that the tool's safety interlocks are functional. Hold the grinder with both hands, maintain a stable stance, and apply steady, even pressure while cutting or grinding. Allow the tool to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece and avoid forcing the disc; let the tool do the work. After use, switch off the grinder, wait for the disc to stop completely and remove the battery before performing disc changes or maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment: eye and face protection, hearing protection, and cut-resistant gloves. Choose discs compatible with 230 mm diameter and the intended material; observe maximum rotation speed limits printed on accessories. For battery performance, use Makita batteries recommended for high-drain tools and follow battery care guidelines. Regularly inspect the tool, guard and disc for damage and replace worn parts to maintain safe operation.
