Replacing Carbon Brushes; Optional Accessories - Makita 9032 Manuel D'instructions

Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 4)
The belt speed can be infinitely adjusted between 5 m
and 28 m per second by turning the speed adjusting dial
to a given number setting from 1 to 6.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 6, lower speed is obtained when it is
turned in the direction of number 1. Select the proper
speed for the workpiece to be sanded.
CAUTION:
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 6
and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or the speed
adjusting function may no longer work.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing abrasive belt (Fig. 5)
Pull the cam lever all the way out. Install the belt over the
rear pulley, and slip the belt over the front pulley, with the
belt pulled out to the front arm. Return the cam lever to
the original position.
Adjusting belt tracking (Fig. 6)
Switch on the tool and make sure that the belt is aligned
properly.
Use the adjusting dial to center the belt tracking. Turn the
adjusting dial clockwise to incline the arm to the right, or
counterclockwise to incline it to the left.
Connecting to Makita vacuum cleaner (Fig. 7 & 8)
CAUTION:
• Always close the nozzle cap when the vacuum cleaner
is not connected to the nozzle. Never insert your finger
into the nozzle.
Cleaner sanding operations can be performed by con-
necting the belt sander to Makita vacuum cleaner.
Open the nozzle cap, and install the dust nozzle. Con-
nect the hose of a vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle.
When connecting to Makita vacuum cleaner, an optional
hose 28 mm in inner diameter is necessary.
OPERATION (Fig. 9, 10 & 11)
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and
wait until it attains full speed. Gently apply the tool to the
workpiece surface and move the tool forward and back.
Press the belt only lightly on the workpiece. Excessive
pressure may damage the belt and shorten tool life.
Always use "A" range of the belt to sand the workpiece.
CAUTION:
• Secure the workpiece with clamps, etc. if there is any
possibility of it moving during the work operations.
• The tool should not already be in contact with the work-
piece surface when you turn the tool on or off. Other-
wise a poor sanding finish, damage to the belt or loss
of control of the tool may result.
• When working with the tool, be very careful to avoid
any contact of the tool and belt with any part of your
body or anyone or anything near you.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Replacing carbon brushes

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace them when they are worn down to the limit
mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in
the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at
the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
(Fig. 12)
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 13)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
