Intended use
The tool is intended for the sanding of large surface of
wood, plastic and metal materials as well as painted
surfaces.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from
sockets without earth wire.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
BELT SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the belt may contact its own cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
2. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
3. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.

4. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working
with.
5. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Make sure the belt is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or
failure to follow the safety rules stated in this
instruction manual may cause serious personal
injury.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Switch action (Fig. 1)

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
“OFF” position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then
push in the lock button, and then release the switch
trigger.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, and then release it.

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. 2 & 3)
Pull the lever all the way out and install the belt over the
rollers, and then return the lever to the original position.
CAUTION:
• When installing the belt, make sure that the direction of
the arrow on the back of the belt corresponds to the
one on the tool itself.
Installing or removing step (Fig. 4)
Using step with the tool turned upside down allows
sanding another way of use. Remove the knob and then
place the step on the place the knob was seated and
secure it with knob.
Adjusting belt tracking (Fig. 5)
While the belt is running, use the adjusting knob to center
the belt tracking. Failure to do so can result in frayed belt
edges and wear on the sander frame.
Dust bag (Fig. 6)
The use of the dust bag makes sanding operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto
the dust spout.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust
bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
OPERATION
Sanding operation (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
• The tool should not be in contact with the workpiece
surface when you turn the tool on or off. Otherwise a
poor sanding finish or damage of the belt may result.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on and
wait until it attains full speed. Then gently place the tool
on the workpiece surface. Keep the belt flush with the
workpiece at all times and move the tool back and forth.
Never force the tool. The weight of the tool applies
adequate pressure. Excessive pressure may cause
stalling, overheating of the motor, burning of the
workpiece and possible kickback.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 9 & 10)
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.
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.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745:
Work mode: sanding metal plate
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

ENG901-1
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
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 plate (Fig. 8)
Replace an carbon plate on the cork rubber plate when it
is worn down. Remove screws on the strap washer and
the worn carbon plate, place a new carbon plate and
then secure it with the screws.
