Consells per a l'usuari

  • For optimal battery life and consistent power, use genuine Makita 18V LXT batteries.
  • Always start sanding with a coarser grit abrasive paper and gradually move to finer grits for a smoother finish.
  • When sanding, let the tool's weight and orbital action do the work. Applying too much pressure can reduce efficiency and damage the workpiece or tool.
  • Regularly check the dust bag and empty it before it gets too full to maintain effective dust collection and prevent motor strain.
