[. . . ] Due to our continuing programme of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. â· Note: Specifications may differ from country to country. [. . . ] CAUTION: After inserting the paper, make sure the teeth of the clamper hold it securely. Otherwise the paper will be loose and subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sanding operation. CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not use water on the workpiece surface. Ventilate your work area adequately when you perform sanding operations. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the material and application you are working with. 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. [. . . ] To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita Authorized Service Centre.
