Switch action (Fig. 6)

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that

the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the

“OFF” position when released.

• The tool should not be in contact with the workpiece

surface when you turn the tool on or off. Otherwise a

poor sanding finish or damage of the belt may result.

To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-

ger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and

then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the

locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.

Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 7)

For 9903, 9920 and 9404

The belt speed can be infinitely adjusted between 210 m

and 440 m per minute by turning the speed adjusting dial

to a given number setting from 1 to 5. Higher speed is

obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of num-

ber 5; lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the

direction of number 1. Select the proper speed for the

workpiece to be sanded.

CAUTION:

The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5

and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed

adjusting function may no longer work.

Sanding operation (Fig. 8)

Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and

wait until it attains full speed. Then gently place the tool

on the workpiece surface. Keep the belt flush with the

workpiece at all times and move the tool back and forth.

Never force the tool. The weight of the tool applies ade-

quate pressure. Excessive pressure may cause stalling,

overheating of the motor, burning of the workpiece and

possible kickback.

Connecting to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust collec-

tor

Cleaner sanding operations can be performed by con-

necting the belt sander to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust

collector.

When connecting to Makita vacuum cleaner (Model 406/

431), an optional hose 28 mm in inner diameter is neces-

sary. See Fig. 9.

When connecting to Makita dust collector (Model 420/

420S), the optional hose is not necessary. You can con-

nect the belt sander directly to the hose of the dust col-

lector.

Belt sander stand (optional accessory) (Fig. 10)

The belt sander stand is handy for sanding small work-

pieces or deburring workpieces.

Sanding shoe (optional accessory) (Fig. 11)

The sanding shoe readily allows you to sand workpieces

more evenly.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Replacement of carbon brushes (Fig. 12 & 13)

Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to the

limit mark. Both identical carbon brushes should be

replaced at the same time.

To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-

nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita

Authorized Service Center.
