Front grip (Fig. 10)
Install the front grip on the tool so that its protrusions
fit into the matching notches in the front of the tool.
Secure the front grip using a screwdriver to tighten the
screw through the hole in the front grip.
Changing pad (Fig. 11)
Makita offers an extensive range of optional super
soft and standard equipped soft pads. Remove the
screw counterclockwise from the center of the base
by a sharp tap with a hammer on the hex wrench.
After changing the pad, tighten the screw clockwise
securely.
Switch action (Fig. 12)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
''OFF'' position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the
trigger 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. 12)
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between
4,000 opm and 10,000 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
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. 13)
CAUTION:
• Never switch on the tool when it is in contact with
the workpiece surface, causing an injury to opera-
tor.
• 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 abra-
sive disc or shorten tool life.
Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed.
Then gently place the tool on the workpiece surface.
Keep the base flush with the workpiece and apply
slight pressure on the tool.
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 damage/burning.
• Never force the tool. Excessive pressure may
decrease the polishing efficiency and cause motor
overload, resulting in tool malfunction.
1. Applying wax (Fig. 14)
Use an optional sponge pad. Apply wax to the
sponge pad or work surface. Run the tool to
smooth out wax.
NOTE:
First, wax a non critical portion of the work surface
to make sure that the tool will not scratch the
surface or result in uneven waxing.
2. Removing wax (Fig. 15)
Use an optional felt pad. Run the tool to remove
wax.
3. Polishing (Fig. 16)
Use an optional wool pad. Run the tool and apply
the wool pad gently to the work surface.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by a
Makita Authorized Service Center.
