Makita GD0601 1/4 Die Grinder with Side Switch

Using the Makita GD0601 die grinder is a breeze. First, make sure you're using the right 1/4 - inch collet for your task. Plug the grinder into a 115 - volt power source. To start it up, simply use the side - mounted slide switch. When working, hold the tool firmly with the solid aluminum housing in your hand. The high - speed motor at 25,000 RPM can handle tough jobs, but don't push it too hard in one go. The vent slots are there to keep the exhaust air away from you, so try to position the tool accordingly. As for maintenance, regularly check the collet nut to make sure it's not damaged. Keep the motor clean by wiping off any dust or debris. The protective zig - zag varnish helps protect the motor, but if you notice a lot of build - up, use a soft brush to clean it. Also, store the tool in a dry place when not in use. And always remember to use the two - piece wrench for any necessary adjustments.
