OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Apply light pressure on the tool. Excessive pressure on

the tool will only cause a poor finish and overloading of

the motor.

• The grinding wheel continues to rotate after the tool is

switched off.

• Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the switch handle

and the other hand on the front grip when performing

the tool. (Fig. 9)

Hanger (optional accessory) (Fig. 10)

Continuous operation of the grinder is made easy by

using the handy hanger as shown in the figure. Simply

loop the cord over the head or shoulder, after threading it

through the eyelet on the top of the tool housing.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

(Fig. 11)

The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean. Regularly

clean the tool’s air vents or whenever the vents start to

become obstructed.

Installing or removing dust cover

(optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing the dust cover

attachments.

• Failure to do so causes damage to the tool or a

personal injury.

• Clean the dust cover attachments when the flow of the

air through the dust cover attachments becomes

obstructed with built up dust or foreign matters.

Continued operation in such a condition may damage

the tool.

• When removing the dust cover attachments, forcing it

up without unhooking hook A or B may break hooking

part. (Fig. 12)

Dust cover attachment R/L are respectively installed on

the handles R/L with the sides shown above facing toward

the tool. (Fig. 13)

To install the attachments, insert hook A and rib A into

vent A lightly.

Insert hook B into vent B. (Fig. 14)

To remove, lift it up by using a slotted bit screwdriver near

the hook B.

Also lift it up near the hook A.

NOTE:

Dust cover attachments installed on GS5000 and GS6000

do not cover the vents above and below the brush holder

which is designed dust-proof.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 15)

When the resin insulating tip inside the carbon brush is

exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically

shut off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon brushes

should be replaced. Keep the carbon brushes clean and

free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be

replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon

brushes. (Fig. 16)

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take

out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and

secure the brush holder caps.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance or adjustment should be

performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always

using Makita replacement parts.
