It features a rear handle trigger switch with no lock-on but a lock-off feature for enhanced safety. The redesigned motor offers greater armature stability and larger commutator bars, lasting three times longer than the previous model. Zig-zag epoxy on the armature coil and a powder-coated field provide extra protection against dust. Spiral bevel gears ensure smoother rotations and efficient energy transfer. The aluminum gear housing offers superior gear alignment and smoother transmission for increased durability. An AC/DC switch allows for use with alternative power sources. The side handle can be installed in three locations for operator comfort. A large spindle lock button makes wheel changes easier, even when wearing gloves. The brush spiral spring allows for a 30% larger brush and increased airflow. Automatic brush cut-off protects the motor from damage. The brush door provides easy access for brush replacement and protects the serial number label. With a compact design of 17-3/4 In. long and weighing 12.1 lbs, it's a comfortable and powerful tool for industrial applications. It comes with a 9-Inch grinding guard and a lock-nut wrench.
Using the Makita GA9060 angle grinder is straightforward. First, make sure you're wearing the right safety gear, like safety glasses and gloves. Check the tool for any visible damage before you start. If you're using an alternative power source, use the AC/DC switch to select the appropriate option. The side handle can be installed in three different locations - choose the one that feels most comfortable for your task. To start the grinder, press the rear handle trigger switch. Remember, it has a lock - off feature, so you'll need to do two actions to start it. When it comes to wheel changes, use the large spindle lock button. This makes it easier to change the wheel, even if you're wearing gloves. For maintenance, keep the grinder clean. The labyrinth construction and the protective zig - zag varnish on the armature already protect it from dust and debris, but it's still a good idea to wipe it down after each use. Check the brushes regularly. The automatic brush cut - off feature is there to protect the motor, but you can easily access the brushes through the brush door for replacement. If you notice any unusual noises or performance issues, stop using the grinder and have it checked by a professional.
