Makita XCC01, Instruction Manual

4 ENGLISH

Service

1. 

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 

repair person using only identical replacement 

parts.

 This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained.

2. 

Never service damaged battery packs.

 Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

3. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-

ing accessories.

4. 

Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-

ance or the battery pack except as indicated in 

the instructions for use and care.

Cutter safety warnings

1. 

The guard provided with the tool must be 

securely attached to the power tool and 

positioned for maximum safety, so the least 

amount of wheel is exposed towards the oper-

ator. Position yourself and bystanders away 

from the plane of the rotating wheel.

 The guard 

helps to protect operator from broken wheel frag-

ments and accidental contact with wheel.

2. 

Use only diamond cut-off wheels for your 

power tool.

 Just because an accessory can be 

attached to your power tool, it does not assure 

safe operation.

3. 

The rated speed of the accessory must be at 

least equal to the maximum speed marked on 

the power tool. 

Accessories running faster than 

their rated speed can break and fly apart.

4. 

Wheels must be used only for recommended 

applications. For example: do not grind with 

the side of cut-off wheel. 

Abrasive cut-off wheels 

are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces 

applied to these wheels may cause them to 

shatter.

5. 

Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are 

of correct diameter for your selected wheel.

Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus 

reducing the possibility of wheel breakage.

6. 

The outside diameter and the thickness of your 

accessory must be within the capacity rating 

of your power tool. 

Incorrectly sized accessories 

cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

7. 

The arbour size of wheels and flanges must 

properly fit the spindle of the power tool.

Wheels and flanges with arbour holes that do not 

match the mounting hardware of the power tool 

will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and 

may cause loss of control.

8. 

Do not use damaged wheels. Before each 

use, inspect the wheels for chips and cracks. 

If power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for 

damage or install an undamaged wheel. After 

inspecting and installing the wheel, position 

yourself and bystanders away from the plane 

of the rotating wheel and run the power tool 

at maximum no load speed for one minute.

Damaged wheels will normally break apart during 

this test time.

9. 

Wear personal protective equipment. 

Depending on application, use face shield, 

safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-

priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, 

gloves and shop apron capable of stopping 

small abrasive or workpiece fragments.

 The 

eye protection must be capable of stopping flying 

debris generated by various operations. The dust 

mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating 

particles generated by your operation. Prolonged 

exposure to high intensity noise may cause hear

-

ing loss.

10. 

Keep bystanders a safe distance away from 

work area. Anyone entering the work area 

must wear personal protective equipment.

Fragments of workpiece or of a broken wheel may 

fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area 

of operation.

11. 

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 

surfaces only, when performing an operation 

where the cutting accessory may contact hid-

den wiring.

 Cutting accessory contacting a “live” 

wire may make exposed metal parts of the power 

tool “live” and could give the operator an electric 

shock.

12. 

Never lay the power tool down until the acces-

sory has come to a complete stop.

 The spinning 

wheel may grab the surface and pull the power 

tool out of your control.

13. 

Do not run the power tool while carrying it at 

your side.

 Accidental contact with the spinning 

accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the 

accessory into your body.

14. 

Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.

 The 

motorʼs fan will draw the dust inside the housing 

and excessive accumulation of powdered metal 

may cause electrical hazards.

15. 

Do not operate the power tool near flammable 

materials.

 Sparks could ignite these materials.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged 

rotating wheel. Pinching or snagging causes rapid 

stalling of the rotating wheel which in turn causes the 

uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction 

opposite of the wheel’s rotation at the point of the 

binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or 

pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is 

entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of 

the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. 

The wheel may either jump toward or away from the 

operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s move-

ment at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also 

break under these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or 

incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be 

avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

1. 

Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and 

position your body and arm to allow you to 

resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary 

handle, if provided, for maximum control over 

kickback or torque reaction during start-up.

The operator can control torque reactions or kick-

back forces, if proper precautions are taken.

2. 

Never place your hand near the rotating acces-

sory.

 Accessory may kickback over your hand.
