Installing dust bag
Install the dust bag on the tool so that the Makita logo on the
dust bag will be upright (not upside down). The dust bag can
be swiveled 360°. Position the skirt so that the dust bag will
not interfere with your work.
OPERATION
Sanding operation
Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed. Then gen-
tly place the tool on the workpiece sur-face. Keep the pad
flush with the workpiece and apply slight pressure on the
tool.
CAUTION:
Never run the tool without the abrasive disc. You may
seriously damage the pad.
Never force the tool. Excessive pressure may decrease
the sanding efficiency, damage the abrasive disc or
shorten tool life.
Polishing operation
CAUTION:
Use only a Makita genuine sponge pad, felt pad or wool
pad (optional accessories).
Always operate the tool at low speed to prevent work
surfaces from heating abnormally.
Never force the tool. Excessive pressure may decrease
the polishing efficiency and cause motor overload,
resulting in tool malfunction.
