Makita RP0900 User Manual

Make sure the bit is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.

10. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,

let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate improperly
installed bit.

11. Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the

feed direction.

12. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

13. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come

to a complete stop before removing the tool
from workpiece.

14. Do not touch the bit immediately after

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

15. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with

thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may
cause cracks in the tool base.

16. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the

correct shank diameter and which are suitable
for the speed of the tool.

17. Some material contains chemicals which may

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material
supplier safety data.
