Installing paper dust bag

To install the paper dust bag, place the paper dust

bag on the paper dust bag holder with its front side

upward. Insert the front fixing cardboard of the paper

dust bag into the groove of the paper dust bag holder.

(Fig. 6)

Then press the upper part of the front fixing card-

board in arrow direction to hook it onto the claws.

(Fig. 7)

Insert the notch of the paper dust bag into the guide

of the paper dust bag holder. Then install the paper

dust bag holder set on the tool. (Fig. 8 & 9)

Front grip (Fig. 10)

Install the front grip on the tool so that its protrusions

fit into the matching notches in the front of the tool.

Secure the front grip using a screwdriver to tighten

the screw through the hole in the front grip.

Switch action (Fig.11)

CAUTION:

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 trigger. Release the

trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trig-

ger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool

from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then

release it.

Speed adjusting dial (Fig. 11)

For BO5021 only

The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between

4,000 opm and 12,000 opm by turning the speed

adjusting dial, which is marked 1 to 5. Higher speed

is obtained when the dial is turned in the direction of

number 5; lower speed is obtained when it is turned

in the direction of number 1. Refer to the figure below

for the relationship between the number setting on

the adjusting dial and the kind of work.

A range: For polishing

B range: For finish sanding

C range: For regular sanding

NOTE:

The above figure shows standard applications. They

may differ under certain conditions.

Sanding operation (Fig. 12)

Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed.

Then gently place the tool on the workpiece surface.

Keep the pad flush with the workpiece and apply

slight pressure on the tool.

CAUTION:

• Never run the tool without the abrasive disc. You

may seriously damage the pad.

• Never force the tool. Excessive pressure may

decrease the sanding efficiency, damage the abra-

sive disc or shorten tool life.

•ON-LOA

FF-LOAD

The sanding pad rotates clockwise during the loaded

operation, but it may rotate counterclockwise during the

no-load operation.

Polishing operation

For BO5021 only

CAUTION

• Use only a Makita genuine sponge pad, felt pad or

wool pad (optional accessories).

• Always operate the tool at low speed to prevent

work surfaces from heating abnormally.

• Never force the tool. Excessive pressure may

decrease the polishing efficiency and cause motor

overload, resulting in tool malfunction.

1. Applying wax (Fig.13)

Use an optional sponge pad. Apply wax to the

sponge pad or work surface. Run the tool at low

speed to smooth out wax.

NOTE:

• First, wax a not conspicuous portion of the

work surface to make sure that the tool will not

scratch the surface or result in uneven waxing.

• Always run the tool at low speed. Running it at

high speed may cause the wax to spatter.

2. Removing wax (Fig. 14)

Use an optional felt pad. Run the tool at low

speed to remove wax.

3. Polishing (Fig. 15)

Use an optional wool pad. Run the tool at low

speed and apply the wool pad gently to the work

surface.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,

maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by

Makita Authorized Service Center.
