MAINTENANCE

1. Limit mark
When connecting to Makita dust collector (Model 420S), the hose of the dust
001289
collector is not necessary. You can connect the belt sander directly to the
optional hose 28.
CAUTION:
• Secure the workpiece with clamps, etc. if there is any possibility of it
moving during the work operations.
• 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 or 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 work-piece surface and move the tool for-
ward and back. Press the belt only lightly on the workpiece. Excessive pres-
sure may damage the belt and shorten tool life.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace them when they are
worn 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 identical carbon brushes.
