Specific Safety Rules - Makita BO4553 Betriebsanleitung

14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to sander safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

use water on the workpiece surface.
6. Ventilate your work area adequately when you

lation and skin contact. Follow material supplier

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Attaching abrasive paper
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the paper.
Model BO4553 (Fig. 1 & 2)
Raise the lever. Insert the paper end into the clamper,
aligning the paper edges even and parallel with the sides
of the base. (Prebending the paper makes attachment
easier). Once the paper is in place, return the lever to its
original position.
Repeat the same process for the other end of the base,
maintaining the proper paper tension.
CAUTION:
After inserting the paper, make sure the teeth of the
clamper hold it securely. Otherwise the paper will be
loose and subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sand-
ing operation.
Hold the tool with the paper surface facing up. Place the
punch plate over the paper so that the bent sides of the
punch plate are flush with the paper edges. Then press
the punch plate to make holes in the paper.
Models BO4554, BO4561 and BO4563 (Fig. 3, 4 & 6)
Important:
Use Makita hook-and-loop sandpaper with this sander.
To attach the sandpaper:
GEB021-1
1. Set the tool upside down so that the pad is on top.
2. Position the sandpaper to fit the shape of the base.
Be sure to align the holes on the sandpaper with the
holes on the pad (the dust will be sucked into these
holes; it is therefore important to leave them open).
3. Press the paper firmly over the pad.
