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.
