Makita GB602 Manuel D'instructions page 4

■ USE OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. Use only
extension cords with approved ground connection that
are intended for use outdoors and so marked.
■ NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap,
or anything else that is in or near the grinding path of
the wheel.
■ AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to move into the wheel. ALWAYS make sure you
have good balance.
■ NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the wheel.
■ DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT TURN IT
ON AND OFF. Have defective switches replaced by an
authorized service center.
■ DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY. This could cause the wheel to loosen and
could create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand
clear and allow the wheel to come to a complete stop.
Disconnect your grinder from the power supply and
securely retighten the wheel nut.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use
of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
■ USE ONLY FLANGES supplied with this bench grinder.
IF ANY PART OF THIS GRINDER IS MISSING or
should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any
electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off
the power switch, remove the machine plug from the
power source and have damaged, missing, or failed
parts replaced before resuming operation.
■ MAKE SURE THE GRINDING WHEEL IS SECURELY
MOUNTED as described in the operating instructions
before connecting the tool to a power supply.
■ DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE WHEEL NUT,
excessive tightening can cause the wheel to crack
during operation.
■ INSPECT GRINDING WHEEL for visible defects.
Check the wheel for fissures and cracks, and test for
normal operation prior to use.
■ ADJUST distance between wheel and work rest to
maintain 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) or less separation as the
diameter of the wheel decreases with use. The value of
separation used in the marking is to be the separation
recommended by the manufacturer but shall not be
more than 1/8 in. (3.2 mm).
■ The maximum wear of the wheel allowed before
replacement; diameter decrease is 1-9/16 in. (40 mm).
■ ALWAYS EASE THE WORKPIECE AGAINST THE
ABRASIVE WHEEL. When starting to grind. A harsh
impact can break the wheel. Use light pressure when
starting to grind; too much pressure on a cold wheel
can cause the wheel to crack.
■ RISK OF INJURY DUE TO ACCIDENTAL STARTING.
Do not use in an area where children may be present.
■ NEVER START THE GRINDER when the wheel is in
contact with the workpiece.

■ SECURE WORK. Always hold workpiece firmly against
the work rest.
■ DO NOT USE THE BENCH GRINDER if the flange nut
or clamp nut is missing or if the spindle shaft is bent.
■ REPLACE CRACKED WHEEL IMMEDIATELY.
■ ALWAYS USE GUARDS AND EYE SHIELDS.
■ FREQUENTLY clean grinding dust from beneath
grinder.
■ DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY
MEDICATION.
■ ALWAYS STAY ALERT. Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of grinder) to cause complacency.
■ A careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.
■ STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch
what you are doing and use common sense. Do not
operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use them to instruct other users. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions
also.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
- lead from lead-based paints.
- crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
- arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
