Additional Safety Rules; Maintenance - Makita 9401 Betriebsanleitung

20. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an
authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by and authorized service centre.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
21. Warning
The use of any other accessory or attachment other
than recommended in this operating instruction or
the catalogue may present a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by an expert
This electric appliance is in accordance with the rel-
evant safety rules. Repairing of electric appliances
may be carried out only by experts otherwise it may
cause considerable danger for the user.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
3. Make sure the belt is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
4. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
5. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
6. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
7. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
8. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent working dust inha-
lation and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
9. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working
with.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing abrasive belt (Fig. 1 & 2)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the belt.
Pull the lever all the way out and install the belt over the
rollers, then return the lever to the original position.
CAUTION:
When installing the belt, make sure that the direction of
the arrow on the back of the belt corresponds to the one
on the tool itself.
Adjusting belt tracking (Fig. 3)
While the belt is running, use the adjusting knob to center
the belt tracking. Failure to do so can result in frayed belt
edges and wear on the sander frame.
Dust bag (Fig. 4)
The use of the dust bag makes sanding operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto
the dust spout.
For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes
about half full, tapping it lightly to remove as much dust
as possible.
Switch action (Fig. 5)
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 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 change (Fig. 6)
For Model 9402
ENB007-2
To change the tool speed, press the "H" side of the speed
change switch for high speed or the "L" side for low speed.
CAUTION:
Use the speed change switch only after the tool comes to
a complete stop.
Operation
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.
CAUTION:
The tool should not be in contact with the workpiece sur-
face when you turn the tool on or off. Otherwise a poor
sanding finish or damage of the belt may result.

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. 7 & 8)
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 Centre.
