Specific Safety Rules; Maintenance - Makita 9036 Betriebsanleitung

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.
2. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
5. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
6. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
7. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent working dust inha-
lation and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
8. Use of this tool to sand some products, paints
and wood could expose user to dust containing
hazardous substances. Use appropriate respira-
tory protection.
9. Be sure that there are no cracks or breakage on
the pad before use. Cracks or breakage may
cause a personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may cause serious personal
injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing abrasive paper (Fig. 1)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the paper.
Press the clamper. Insert the paper end into the clamper,
aligning the paper edges even and parallel with the sides
of the base. Then release the clamper.
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.
Switch action (Fig. 2)
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.
Operation (Fig. 3)
GEB021-1
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it
attains full speed. Then gently place the tool on the work-
piece surface. A finishing sander is generally used to
remove only a small amount of material at a time. Since
the quality of the surface is more important than the
amount of stock removed, do not bear down on the tool.
Keep the base flush with the workpiece at all times.
Excessive pressure may damage the paper and shorten
tool life.
You can put a high polish on furniture or other fine sur-
faces by using a cloth under the tool.
CAUTION:
• Do not block motor vent with your finger or hand.
• Never run the tool without paper. You may seriously
damage the pad.
When you wish to perform clean sanding operation, pro-
ceed as follows:
Place the punch plate (optional accessory) over the
paper so that the guide of the punch plate is flush with
the sides of the base. Then press the punch plate to
make holes in the paper. (Fig. 4)
Remove the cap from the dust spout on your tool and
connect a vacuum cleaner to your tool using a hose
(optional accessory). Be sure to read cleaner's instruc-
tion manual. (Fig. 5)

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
