Installing or removing pad Optional accessory CAUTION: Only use hook-and-loop system pads for polishing. Polishing operation 1 ► 1 . Pad To install the pad, first remove all dirt and foreign matter from the hook-and-loop system of the pad and the backing pad. Attach the pad to the backing pad so that their edges are aligned. To remove the pad from the backing pad, just pull up from its edge. CAUTION: Make sure that the pad and backing pad are aligned and securely attached. Otherwise the pad will cause a excessive vibration which may cause loss of control or the pad may be thrown out from the tool. OPERATION CAUTION: Only use Makita genuine pads for polishing (optional accessories). CAUTION: Make sure the work material is secured and stable. Falling object may cause personal injury. CAUTION: Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the switch handle and the other hand on the front grip (or side handle) when performing the tool. CAUTION: Do not run the tool at high load over an extended time period. It may result in tool malfunction which causes electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. CAUTION: Be careful not to touch the rotating part. NOTICE: Never force the tool. Excessive pressure may lead to decreased polishing efficiency, damaged pad, or shorten tool life. NOTICE: Continuous operation at high speed may damage work surface. 1. Surface treatment (Random orbit with forced rotation mode) Use a wool pad for rough finishing then use a sponge pad for fine finishing. 2. Applying wax (Random orbit mode) Use a sponge pad. Apply wax to the sponge pad or work surface. Run the tool at low speed to smooth out wax. CAUTION: Do not apply excessive wax or polishing agent. It will generate more dust and may cause eye or respiratory diseases. NOTE: First, perform a test waxing on an inconspicuous portion of the work surface. Make sure that the tool will not scratch the surface or result in uneven waxing before. 3. Removing wax (Random orbit mode) Use another sponge pad. Run the tool to remove wax. 4. Polishing (Random orbit mode) Apply a felt pad gently to the work surface. MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result. 7 ENGLISH
