OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing the abrasive paper
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the paper.
When using the conventional type of abrasive paper
(standard equipment) (Fig. 1 & 2):
Turn the clamp lever counterclockwise. Insert the
paper end into the clamper, aligning the holes in the
paper with those in the pad. Then return the clamp
lever to the original position to secure the paper.
Repeat the same process for the other end of the
tool, maintaining the proper paper tension.
When using the velcro type of abrasive paper
(optional accessory) (Fig. 3):
Remove all dirt or foreign matter from the pad. Attach
the paper to the pad, aligning the holes in the paper
with those in the pad.
CAUTION:
Always use velcro type of abrasive papers. Never use
pressure-sensitive abrasive papers.
Dust bag (Fig. 4)
To install the dust bag, align the z mark on the bag's
entry port with the y mark on the dust spout of the
tool and fit the entry port onto the dust spout. Then
turn the dust bag clockwise to secure it in place. For
the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes
about half full. To remove the dust bag, follow the
installation procedures in reverse.
Paper dust bag
To install the paper dust bag, place the paper dust
bag on the paper dust bag holder with its front side
upward. Insert the front fixing cardboard of the paper
dust bag into the groove of the paper dust bag holder.
(Fig. 5)
Then press the upper part of the front fixing card-
board in arrow direction to hook it onto the claws.
(Fig. 6)
Insert the notch of the paper dust bag into the guide of
the paper dust bag holder. Then install the paper dust
bag holder set on the tool. (Fig. 7 & 8)
Note:
If you connect a Makita dust collector to your sander,
ENB042-2
more efficient and cleaner operations can be per-
formed.
