OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Attaching abrasive paper
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the paper.
Model BO4553 (Fig. 1 & 2)
Raise the lever. Insert the paper end into the clamper,
aligning the paper edges even and parallel with the sides
of the base. (Prebending the paper makes attachment
easier). Once the paper is in place, return the lever to its
original position.
Repeat the same process for the other end of the base,
maintaining the proper paper tension.
CAUTION:
After inserting the paper, make sure the teeth of the
clamper hold it securely. Otherwise the paper will be
loose and subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sand-
ing operation.
Hold the tool with the paper surface facing up. Place the
punch plate over the paper so that the bent sides of the
ENB042-3
punch plate are flush with the paper edges. Then press
the punch plate to make holes in the paper.
Models BO4554, BO4561 and BO4563 (Fig. 3, 4 & 6)
Important:
Use Makita hook-and-loop sandpaper with this sander.
To attach the sandpaper:
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.
