Polishing operation
CAUTION:
• Always wear safety glasses or a face shield during
operation.
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and then apply the wool
bonnet to the workpiece.
In general, keep the wool bonnet at an angle of about 15
degrees to the workpiece surface.
Apply slight pressure only. Excessive pressure will result in
poor performance and premature wear to wool bonnet.

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only iden-
tical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out
the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure
the brush holder caps.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any
other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using
Makita replacement parts.
