Using your Makita angle grinder is a breeze. First, make sure you've attached all the necessary accessories like the side handle for a better grip. To start the grinder, use the two-stage power lock-off switch. You can hold it from different positions thanks to the large paddle switch.

When it comes to wheel changes, press the large spindle lock button, even if you're wearing gloves. Remember, this grinder has an AC/DC switch, so you can use it with an alternative power source if needed.
For safety, always wear proper protective gear like goggles and gloves. Don't use the grinder in wet conditions. Make sure the power is off before making any adjustments. To keep your grinder in good shape, clean it regularly. Wipe off any dust or debris after each use. Check the armature coils and gears periodically to ensure they're in good condition. If you notice any issues, stop using the grinder and have it checked by a professional.
