Makita BO6040 Betriebsanleitung Seite 5

CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low speeds for a
long time, the motor will get overloaded, resulting in
tool malfunction.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 5
and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or the speed
adjusting function may no longer work.
Electronic function
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
Constant speed control
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under the loaded condition.

The above information is intended only as a guide. In each case, the most appropriate sanding disc grain should be
determined by preliminary trials.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing side grip (optional accessory) (Fig. 5)
Remove one of the screws which secure the head cover.
Screw the side grip on the tool securely. The side grip
can be installed on either side of the tool.
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
Selecting the action mode
Use the change lever to change the rotation mode.
Roto-orbit mode is orbital action plus rotation action of
pad for rough sanding and polishing. (Fig. 3: Roto-orbit
mode)
Random orbit mode is orbital action of pad for fine sand-
ing. (Fig. 4: Random orbit mode)
Rotate the change lever counterclockwise for roto-orbit
mode and clockwise for random orbit mode.
CAUTION:
• Do not rotate the change lever when the tool is running.
The tool will be damaged.

Installing or removing abrasive disc (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
• Always use hook-and-loop system abrasive discs.
Never use pressure-sensitive abrasive discs.
To install the abrasive disc, first remove all dirt or foreign
matter from the pad. Then attach the abrasive disc to the
pad, using the hook-and-loop system of the abrasive disc
and the pad. Be careful to align the holes in the abrasive
disc with those in the pad.
To remove the disc from the pad, just pull up from its
edge.
