Use clamps or other practical way to   secure and support the workpiece to a   stable platform. Holding the work by hand or   against your body is unstable and may lead   to loss of control.   7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord   to carry the tools or pull the plug from an   outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,   sharp edges or moving parts. Replace   damaged cords immediately. Damaged   cords increase the risk of electric shock.   16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for   your application. The correct tool will do the   job better and safer at the rate for which it is   designed.   8. When operating a power tool outside, use   an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”   or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor   use and reduce the risk of electric shock.   17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it   on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled   with the switch is dangerous and must be   repaired.   Personal Safety   9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and   use common sense when operating a   power tool. Do not use tool while tired or   under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or   medication. A moment of inattention while   operating power tools may result in serious   personal injury.   18. Disconnect the plug from the power   source before making any adjustments,   changing accessories, or storing the tool.   Such preventive safety measures reduce the   risk of starting the tool accidentally.   19. Store idle tools out of reach of children   and other untrained persons. Tools are   dangerous in the hands of untrained users.   10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-   ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep   your hair, clothing, and gloves away from   moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long   hair can be caught in moving parts.   20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting   tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained   tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely   to bind and are easier to control.   11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch   is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with   your finger on the switch or plugging in tools   that have the switch on invites accidents.   21. Check for misalignment or binding of   moving parts, breakage of parts, and any   other condition that may affect the tools   operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-   viced before using. Many accidents are   caused by poorly maintained tools.   12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches   before turning the tool on. A wrench or a   key that is left attached to a rotating part of   the tool may result in personal injury.   22. Use only accessories that are recom-   mended by the manufacturer for your   model. Accessories that may be suitable for   one tool, may become hazardous when used   on another tool.   13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing   and balance at all times. Proper footing and   balance enables better control of the tool in   unexpected situations.   SERVICE   14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye   protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety   shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must   be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary   eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.   23. Tool service must be performed only by   qualified repair personnel. Service or main-   tenance performed by unqualified personnel   could result in a risk of injury.   3 Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   24. When servicing a tool, use only identical   replacement parts. Follow instructions in   the Maintenance section of this manual.   Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow   Maintenance instructions may create a risk of   electric shock or injury.   USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.   When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your   product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of   power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and   nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-   ber, the heavier the cord.   Table 1: Minimum gage for cord   Volts   120 V   Total length of cord in feet   Ampere Rating   25 ft.   50 ft.   100 ft.   150 ft.   More Than   Not More Than   AWG   0 6 10   12   6 18   18   16   14   16   16   16   12   16   14   14   14   12   12   10   12   16   Not Recommended   SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES   USB047-3   DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from   repeated use) replace strict adherence to polisher safety rules.   If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer seri-   ous personal injury.   1. Accessories must be rated for at least the   speed recommended on the tool warning   label. Wheels and other accessories running   over rated speed can fly apart and cause   injury.   ation. Replace cracked, damaged or   deformed pad immediately.   4. NEVER use tool with wood cutting blades   or other sawblades. Such blades when   used on a polisher frequently kick and   cause loss of control leading to personal   injury.   2. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces   when performing an operation where the   cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or   its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will   make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”   and shock the operator.   5. Hold the tool firmly.   6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.   7. Make sure the abrasive disc or wool bon-   net is not contacting the workpiece before   the switch is turned on.   3. Check the backing pad carefully for   cracks, damage or deformity before oper-   4 Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   8. When sanding metal surfaces, watch out   for flying sparks. Hold the tool so that   sparks fly away from you and other per-   sons or flammable materials.   12. Pay attention that the wheel continues to   rotate after the tool is switched off.   13. This tool has not been waterproofed, so   do not use water on the workpiece sur-   face.   9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the   tool only when hand-held.   14. Ventilate your work area adequately when   you perform sanding operations.   10. Do not touch the workpiece immediately   after operation; it may be extremely hot   and could burn your skin.   15. Use of this tool to sand some products,   paints and wood could expose user to   dust containing hazardous substances.   Use appropriate respiratory protection.   11.

Some examples   of these chemicals are:   • lead from lead-based paints,   • crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and   • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.   Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this   type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well   ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those   dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.   MAKITA LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY   Warranty Policy   Every Makita tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory. It is warranted to be free of   defects from workmanship and materials for the period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase.   Should any trouble develop during this one year period, return the COMPLETE tool, freight prepaid, to one of   Makita’s Factory or Authorized Service Centers. If inspection shows the trouble is caused by defective   workmanship or material, Makita will repair (or at our option, replace) without charge.   This Warranty does not apply where:   • repairs have been made or attempted by others:   • repairs are required because of normal wear and tear:   • the tool has been abused, misused or improperly maintained:   • alterations have been made to the tool.   IN NO EVENT SHALL MAKITA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL   DAMAGES FROM THE SALE OR USE OF THE PRODUCT. THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES BOTH DURING   AND AFTER THE TERM OF THIS WARRANTY.   MAKITA DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF   “MERCHANTABILITY” AND “FITNESS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE,” AFTER THE ONE YEAR TERM OF THIS   WARRANTY.   This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.   Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above   limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied   warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.   Makita Corporation   3-11-8, Sumiyoshi-cho,   Anjo, Aichi 446-8502 Japan   883075C064   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
