Configuració
1. Instal·lació de la bateria
The Makita DBO180 operates on an 18V LXT battery (not included with the bare tool). Ensure the battery is fully charged before use.

- Alineeu el paquet de bateries amb el port de bateria de la polidora.
- Feu lliscar la bateria al seu lloc fins que faci clic de manera segura.
- Per treure-la, premeu el botó d'alliberament de la bateria i feu-la lliscar cap a fora.
2. Attaching Abrasive Paper
The sander features a hook-and-loop fastening system for quick and easy abrasive paper changes.
- Assegureu-vos que la polidora estigui apagada i que la bateria estigui treta.
- Align the holes on the abrasive paper with the holes on the sanding pad.
- Premeu fermament el paper abrasiu sobre el coixinet per fixar-lo.
- To remove, simply peel the abrasive paper off the pad.

3. Attaching the Dust Collection Bag
The included dust collection bag (Part No. 160079A) helps maintain a clean work environment and improves sanding efficiency.

- Slide the dust collection bag onto the dust port at the rear of the sander.
- Ensure it is securely fastened to prevent dust leakage.
Instruccions de funcionament
1. Encendre/apagar
The sander is equipped with a push-button control for power and speed selection.

- To turn on the sander, press the "ON/OFF" button.
- To turn off the sander, press the "ON/OFF" button again.
2. Selecció de velocitat
The DBO180 offers three orbital speed settings to match various applications:
- Velocitat baixa: 7,000 OPM (òrbites per minut)
- Velocitat mitjana: 9,500 OPM
- Alta velocitat: 11,000 OPM
Press the speed selection button (labeled 1, 2, 3) to cycle through the available speeds. Choose a lower speed for fine finishing and a higher speed for faster material removal.
3. Sanding Technique
For best results, hold the sander firmly with both hands and apply even, light pressure. Allow the tool to do the work. Move the sander in overlapping passes across the workpiece. Avoid tilting the sander, as this can create uneven surfaces or gouges.

4. Pad Brake Function
The integrated pad brake quickly stops the motor after the tool is turned off, preventing aggressive sanding or damage to the workpiece upon initial contact.
Manteniment
Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el rendiment òptim de la polidora. Desconnecteu sempre la bateria abans de realitzar qualsevol manteniment.
1. Dust Bag Maintenance
- Empty the dust collection bag frequently to maintain efficient dust extraction.
- Clean the dust bag periodically by shaking out accumulated dust or washing it with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.

2. Sanding Pad Inspection
- Regularly inspect the hook-and-loop sanding pad for wear or damage. A worn pad may not hold abrasive paper securely.
- Replace the pad if it shows signs of significant wear or damage.
3. Neteja general
- Wipe down the tool exterior with a soft, damp tela. No utilitzeu productes químics o dissolvents aggressivs.
- Mantingueu les obertures de ventilació netes de pols i deixalles per evitar el sobreescalfament. Feu servir aire comprimit si cal.

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.
