9566C - Grinder MAKITA - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL 9566C MAKITA

• Due to our continuing program of research and devel- opment, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice.

• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country. Intended use The tool is intended for cutting, grinding and sanding of metal and stone materials without the use of water. Power supply The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated in accordance with European Standard and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire. Safety hints For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety instructions.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Always use eye and ear protection. Other per-

sonal protective equipment such as dust mask, gloves, helmet and apron should be worn when necessary. If in doubt, wear the protective equip- ment.

2. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

3. Keep guards in place.

4. Use only wheels with correct size and wheels

having a maximum operating speed at least as high as the highest No Load Speed marked on the tool’s nameplate. When using depressed center wheels, be sure to use only fiberglass- reinforced wheels.

5. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage

before operation. Replace cracked or damaged wheel immediately.

6. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for

correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and store wheels with care.

7. Do not use separate reducing bushings or adap-

tors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.

cially the installing surface) or the lock nut. Dam- age to these parts could result in wheel breakage.

10. For tools intended to be fitted with threaded hole

wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.

11. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,

test run the tool at the highest no load speed for at least 30 seconds in a safe position. Stop immediately if there is any vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced wheel. Check the tool to determine the cause.

12. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.

13. Hold the tool firmly.

14. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

15. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the work-

piece before the switch is turned on.

17. Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding.

18. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that

sparks fly away from you and other persons or flammable materials.

19. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate

after the tool is switched off.

20. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

21. Position the tool so that the power cord always

stays behind the tool during operation.

22. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or

badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short- circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.

25. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear

when working in dusty conditions. If it should become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect the tool from the main supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.

26. When use cut-off wheel, always work with the

dust collecting wheel guard required by domes- tic regulation. Depressed center wheel diameter/Spindle thread 150 mm M14 9566C 9566CV No load speed (min

27. Cutting discs must not be subjected to any lat-

eral pressure. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Installing wheel guard (Fig. 1 & 2) Important: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the wheel guard. Pull the lever in the direction of the arrow after loosening the screw. Install the wheel cover on the bearing box by adjusting the convex of the wheel cover to the concave of the bear- ing box. Turn the wheel cover by 180 degrees. Fasten it with the screw after pulling lever in the direction of the arrow for the working purpose, the setting angle of the wheel cover can be adjusted with the lever. Removing wheel cover Follow the installation procedure in reverse to remove the wheel cover. Installing side grip (auxiliary handle) (Fig. 3) Important: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the side grip. Always install the side grip on the tool securely before operation. The side grip can be installed on either side of the tool, whichever is convenient and keeps the guard properly positioned. Always hold the tool’s switch handle and the side grip firmly with both hands during operation. Shaft lock (Fig. 4) Press the shaft lock to prevent spindle rotation when installing or removing accessories. CAUTION: Never actuate the shaft lock when the spindle is moving. The tool may be damaged. Installing or removing depressed center wheel (Fig. 5 & 6) Important: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the wheel. Mount the inner flange onto the spindle. Fit the wheel on over the inner flange 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 securely tighten clockwise. To remove the wheel, fol- low the installation procedure in reverse. Switch action (Fig. 7) CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch actuates properly and returns to the ‘‘O(OFF)’’ position when the rear of the switch lever is depressed. To start the tool, slide the switch lever toward the ‘‘I (ON)’’ position. For continuous operation, press the front of the switch lever to lock it. To stop the tool, press the rear of the switch lever, then slide it toward the ‘‘O(OFF)’’ posi- tion. Speed adjusting dial (For model 9566CV) (Fig. 8) The rotating speed can be changed by turning the speed adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 5. Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of number 5. And lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. Refer to the table below for the relationship between the number settings on the dial and the approximate rotating speed. CAUTION:

• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds, the motor will get overloaded and heated up.

• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer work. The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to operate because of the following features.

• Constant speed control Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed. Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constantly even under the loaded condition.

• Soft start feature Safety and soft start because of suppressed starting shock.

• Overload protector When the tool would be employed over the admissible load, it will stop automatically to protect the motor and wheel. When the load will come to the admissible level again, the tool can be started automatically. Operation (Fig. 9) CAUTION: After operation, always switch off the tool and wait until the wheel has come to a complete stop before putting the tool down. Hold the tool firmly with both hands. 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°–30° to the workpiece surface. During the break-in period with a new wheel, do not work the tool 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 directions.

• 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.

• Continued use of a worn-out wheel may result in wheel explosion and serious personal injury. Number min
