Installing or removing abrasive paper
Fig.2
Open the paper clamp by raising on the lever to release
from the locking port and then Insert the paper end into
the clamping part, aligning the paper edges even and
parallel with the sides of the base. (Bending the paper
beforehand makes attachment easier). Once the paper
is in place, return the lever to its original position.
Fig.3
Repeat the same process for the other end of the base,
maintaining the proper paper tension.
After inserting the paper, make sure the clamping part
hold it securely. Otherwise the paper will be loose and
subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sanding
operation.
Fig.4
When using the dust bag, make holes in the abrasive
paper using the punch plate as follows:
1. Set the tool upside down.
2. Place the punch plate over the abrasive paper so
that the bent sides of the punch plate are flush
with the paper edges.
3. Press the punch plate to make holes in the
abrasive paper.
CAUTION:
Be sure to remove the punch plate before
•
operating the tool.
Model BO4555 only
NOTE:
Use Makita hook-and-loop sandpaper with this sander.
Fig.5
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.
To remove the sandpaper:
1. Set the tool upside down so that the sandpaper is
on top.
2. Grasping one corner of the sandpaper, peel it
from the pad.
NOTE:
If the sandpaper is in good condition, save it for
•
further use.
Dust bag (accessory)
Fig.6
The use of the dust bag makes sanding operations
clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag,
fit the bag's entry port onto the dust spout on the tool.
Make sure that the hole in the bag's entry port is just
over the pimple-like protrusion on the dust spout.
For the best results, empty the dust bag when it
becomes approximately half full, tapping it lightly to
remove as much dust as possible.
Installing paper dust bag (accessory)
Fig.7
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.8
Then press the upper part of the front fixing cardboard
in arrow direction to hook it onto the claws.
Fig.9
Fig.10
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.
Installing paper filter bag
Fig.11
Make sure that the logo on the cardboard lip and the
logo on the dust box are on the same side, then install
the paper filter bag by fitting the cardbord lip in the
groove of each holding tab.
Fig.12
Make sure that the logo on the cardboard lip and the logo
on the dust nozzle are on the same side, then install the
dust nozzle on the dust box.
