Makita BO4565 Finishing Sander Instruction Manual

makita BO4565 Finishing Sander

SPECIFICATIONS

• Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice.
• Specifications may differ from country to country.
• Weight according to EPTA-Procedure 01/2014

Intended use
The tool is intended for the sanding of large surfaces of wood, plastic, and metal materials as well as painted surfaces.

Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on a single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.

Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level is determined according to EN62841:

• Sound pressure level (LpA): 81 dB (A)
• Sound power level (LWA): 92 dB (A)
• Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A)

NOTE:

• The declared noise emission value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING:

• Wear ear protection.
• The noise emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that is based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-mined according to EN62841:

• Work mode : sanding metal plate
• Vibration emission (ah) : 4.0 m/s2
• Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2

NOTE:

• The declared vibration total value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration total value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING:

• The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that is based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking the function on the tool.

Switch action

CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the tool is switched off. To start the tool, press the ” I ” side of the switch. To stop the tool, press the ” O ” side of the switch.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing or removing abrasive paper

NOTE:
Use Makita hook-and-loop sandpaper with this sander.

To attach the sandpaper:

• Fig.2: 1. Velcro sandpaper 2. Base
• Fig.3: 1. Velcro sandpaper 2. Base
• Fig.4: 1. Base 2. Velcro sandpaper

1. Set the tool upside down so that the pad is on top.
2. Position the sandpaper to fit the shape of the base. Be sure to align the holes on the sandpaper with the holes on the pad (the dust will be sucked into these holes; it is, therefore, important to leave them open).
3. Press the paper firmly over the pad.

To remove the sandpaper:

1. Set the tool upside down so that the sandpaper is on top.
2. Grasping one corner of the sandpaper, peel it from the pad.

NOTE:
If the sandpaper is in good condition, save it for further use. When sanding in narrow, hard-to-reach areas (e.g., shutters, blinds, louvers), attach the cone-shaped abrasive papers to the end of the pad (bottom and top). To sand, the end of thin materials, fold the abrasive paper and attach it to the side of the pad as shown in the figures.

Dust bag (accessory)

Fig.5: 1. Dust bag

The use of the dust bag makes sanding operations clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit the bag’s entry port onto the dust spout on the tool. Make sure that the hole in the bag’s entry port is just over the pimple-like protrusion on the dust spout. For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes approximately half full, tapping it lightly to remove as much dust as possible.

Installing a paper dust bag (accessory)

OPERATION

Sanding operation

CAUTION:

• 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.

Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed. Then gently place the tool on the workpiece 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.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzene, thinner, alcohol, or the like. Discoloration, deformation, or cracks may result.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, carbon brush inspection, and replacement, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
