Orbital Sander Instruction Manual

Dust bag

To install the dust bag, align the mark on the bag’s entry

port with the mark on the dust spout of the tool and fit the

entry port onto the dust spout. Then turn the dust bag clock-

wise to secure it in place.

For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes

approximately half full, tapping it lightly to remove as much

dust as possible.

NOTE:

• If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool,

more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.

OPERATION

Sanding operation

CAUTION:

• Never run the tool without the abrasive paper. You may

seriously damage the pad.

• Never force the tool. Excessive pressure may decrease

the sanding efficiency, damage the abrasive paper or

shorten tool life.

Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it attains

full speed. Then gently place the tool on the workpiece sur-

face. Keep the pad flush with the workpiece and apply slight

pressure on the tool.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, car-

bon brush inspection and replacement, any other mainte-

nance or adjustment should be performed by Makita

Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita

replacement parts.
