SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENA001-2
WARNING! When using electric tools, basic safety
precautions, including the following, should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury. Read all these instructions
before operating this product and save these instruc-
tions.
For safe operations:
1. Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. Consider work area environment.
Do not expose power tools to rain. Do not use power
tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well
lit. Do not use power tools where there is risk to
cause fire or explosion.
3. Guard against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerators).
4. Keep children away.
Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension cord.
All visitors should be kept away from work area.
5. Store idle tools.
When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry,
high or locked up place, out of reach of children.
6. Do not force the tool.
It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which
it was intended.
7. Use the right tool.
Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job
of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes
not intended; for example, do not use circular saws
to cut tree limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, they can be
caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
Wear protecting hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use safety glasses and hearing protection.
Also use face or dust mask if the cutting operation is
dusty.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
Never carry the tool by the cord or yank it to discon-
nect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure work.
Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate
the tool.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubrication
and changing accessories. Inspect tool cord periodi-
cally and if damaged have it repaired by an author-
ized service facility. Inspect extension cords
periodically and replace, if damaged. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing and when chang-
ing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool
before turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the
switch. Ensure switch is off when plugging in.
18. Use outdoor extension leads.
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for outdoor use.
19. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do
not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts.
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of
parts, mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service centre unless otherwise indi-
cated in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service facility.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off.
21. Warning.
The use of any accessory or attachment, other than
those recommended in this instruction manual or the
catalogue, may present a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
This electric tool is in accordance with the relevant
safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing abrasive paper
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the abrasive
paper.
• There are two ways to install or remove an abrasive
paper. They differ from country to country.
Type A:
Raise the lever. Insert the paper end into the clamper,
aligning the paper edges even and parallel with the sides
of the base. (Pre-bending 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.
(Fig. 1)
Type B:
Pull out the clamp lever and insert the paper end. Be
careful to maintain the proper paper tension. Align edges
of sanding paper with either edge of the pad. (Pre-bend-
ing the paper makes attachment easier.) Once the paper
is in place, return the clamp lever to its original position.
(Fig. 2 & 3)
CAUTION:
After inserting the paper, make sure the clamper (clamp
lever) hold it securely. Otherwise the paper will be loose
and subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sanding
operation.
Switch action (Fig. 4)
To start the tool, slide the thumb switch to the “ON” posi-
tion. To stop, slide the thumb switch to the “OFF” position.
Operation
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it
attains full speed. Then gently place the tool on the work-
piece surface. A finishing sander is generally used to
remove only a small amount of material at a time. Since
the quality of the surface is more important than the
amount of stock removed, do not bear down on the tool.
Keep the base flush with the workpiece at all times.
CAUTION:
• Do not block motor vent with your finger or hand.
• Never run the tool without the abrasive paper. You may
seriously damage the pad.
• Never force the tool. Excessive pressure may decrease
the sanding efficiency, damage the abrasive paper and/
or shorten tool life.
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, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
Authorized Service Centre.
ACCESSORIES
CAUTION:
These accessories or attachments are recommended for
use with your Makita tool specified in this manual. The
use of any other accessories or attachments might
present a risk of injury to persons. The accessories or
