Sanding Operation; Maintenance - Makita M9203 Instruction Manual

OPERATION

Sanding operation

CAUTION:
Never run the tool without the
abrasive paper. You may seriously damage the pad.
CAUTION:
Never force the tool. Excessive
pressure may decrease the sanding efficiency, dam-
age the abrasive paper and/or shorten tool life.
► Fig.5
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it
attains full speed. Then gently place the tool on the
workpiece surface. A finishing sander is generally used
to remove only a small amount of material at a time.
Since the quality of the surface is more important than
the amount of stock removed, do not bear down on the
tool. Keep the base flush with the workpiece at all times.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
