Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 10)

The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 4,000

opm and 12,000 opm by turning the speed adjusting dial,

which is marked 1 to 5. Higher speed is obtained when

the dial is turned in the direction of number 5; lower

speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of

number 1. Refer to the figure below for the relationship

between the number setting on the adjusting dial and the

kind of work.

A range: For polishing

B range: For finish sanding

C range: For regular sanding

NOTE:

The above figure shows standard applications. They may

differ under certain conditions.

Sanding operation (Fig. 11)

Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed. Then

gently place the tool on the workpiece surface. 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.

•ON-LOA

FF-LOAD

The sanding pad rotates clockwise during the loaded

operation, but it may rotate counterclockwise during the

no-load operation.

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.

1. Applying wax (Fig. 12)

Use an optional sponge pad. Apply wax to the

sponge pad or work surface. Run the tool at low

speed to smooth out wax.

NOTE:

• First, wax a not conspicuous portion of the work

surface to make sure that the tool will not scratch

the surface or result in uneven waxing.

• Always run the tool at low speed. Running it at

high speed may cause the wax to spatter.

2. Removing wax (Fig. 13)

Use an optional felt pad. Run the tool at low speed to

remove wax.

3. Polishing (Fig. 14)

Use an optional wool pad. Run the tool at low speed

and apply the wool pad gently to the work surface.

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
