SPECIFICATIONS
• Due to our continuing program of research and devel-
opment, the specifications herein are subject to change
without notice.
• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.
Intended use
The tool is intended for the sanding of large surface of
wood, plastics 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 single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.

3.
This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
4.
Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
5.
Some material contains chemicals which may be

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Attaching abrasive paper
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the paper.
Model BO4553 (Fig. 1 & 2)
Raise the lever. Insert the paper end into the clamper,
aligning the paper edges even and parallel with the sides
of the base. (Prebending 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.
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 sand-
ing operation.
Hold the tool with the paper surface facing up. Place the
punch plate over the paper so that the bent sides of the
punch plate are flush with the paper edges. Then press
the punch plate to make holes in the paper.
Models BO4554, BO4561 and BO4563 (Fig. 3, 4 & 6)
Important:
Use Makita hook-and-loop sandpaper with this sander.
To attach the 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.
