• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

belt pulled out to the front arm. Return the cam lever to
the original position.

properly.
Use the adjusting dial to center the belt tracking. Turn the
adjusting dial clockwise to incline the arm to the right, or
counterclockwise to incline it to the left.
Connecting to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust
collector
CAUTION:
• Always close the nozzle cap when the vacuum
cleaner/dust collector is not connected to the noz-
zle. Never insert your finger into the nozzle.
Cleaner sanding operations can be performed by con-
necting the belt sander to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust
collector.
Open the nozzle cap, and install the dust nozzle. Con-
nect the hose of a vacuum cleaner/dust collector to the
dust nozzle.
When connecting to Makita vacuum cleaner, an optional
hose 28 mm (1-1/8”) in inner diameter is necessary.
When connecting to Makita dust collector, connect the
hose of the dust collector directly to the dust nozzle.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Secure the workpiece with clamps, etc. if there is
any possibility of it moving during the work opera-
tions.
• The tool should not already be in contact with the
workpiece surface when you turn the tool on or off.
Otherwise a poor sanding finish, damage to the belt
of loss of control of the tool may result.
• When working with the tool, be very careful to avoid
any contact of the tool and belt with any part of your
body or anyone or anything near you.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and
wait until it attains full speed. Gently apply the tool to the
workpiece surface and move the tool forward and back.
Press the belt only lightly on the workpiece. Excessive
pressure may damage the belt and shorten tool life.
