Optional Accessories; Maintenance - Makita DBO140 Instruction Manual

Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed.
Then gently place the tool on the workpiece surface. Keep the pad
flush with the workpiece and apply slight pressure on the tool.
CAUTION:
The sanding pad rotates clockwise
during the loaded operation, but it may rotate counter-
clockwise during the no-load operation.
Polishing operation (optional)
CAUTION:
• Use only a Makita genuine sponge pad, felt pad
or wool pad (optional accessories).
• Always operate the tool at low speed to prevent
work surfaces from heating abnormally.
• Never force the tool. Excessive pressure may
decrease the polishing efficiency and cause
motor overload, resulting in tool malfunction.
1. Applying wax
► Fig.17: 1. Sponge pad
Use an optional sponge pad. Apply wax to the
sponge pad or work surface. Run the tool at low
speed to smooth out wax.
NOTE:
• First, wax a not conspicuous portion of the
work surface to make sure that the tool will not
scratch the surface or result in uneven waxing.
• The tool starts with high speed mode. Be careful when
you start the tool. The wax may be spattered. It is rec-
ommended that you spread wax with the tool stopped
before starting up the tool. Change the speed mode to
low immediately after you start the tool.
• Always run the tool at low speed. Running it at
high speed may cause the wax to spatter.
2. Removing wax
► Fig.18: 1. Felt pad
Use an optional felt pad. Run the tool at low speed
to remove wax.
3. Polishing
► Fig.19: 1. Wool pad
Use an optional wool pad. Run the tool at low speed
and apply the wool pad gently to the work surface.
