Makita 9403 4 x 24 Belt Sander

Using the Makita 9403 belt sander is straightforward. First, make sure the sander is unplugged. Install the included abrasive belt (#80) properly on the sander. You can then attach the dust bag. Plug in the sander and switch it on. Move the sander smoothly over the material you want to sand. The 4 - inch wide belt and high speed of 1,640 ft./min will quickly remove material. When using it near walls, take advantage of its unique design for flush sanding. For your comfort, hold the sander by the large front grip and keep in mind the cord is conveniently located on the upper part of the handle. As for safety, remember it's double - insulated, but always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and ear protection due to the noise. To maintain the sander, regularly check the abrasive belt for wear and replace it when necessary. Clean the dust bag frequently to ensure good dust collection. Also, keep the motor and bearings clean as the labyrinth construction helps protect them from contamination, but some maintenance is still important for long - term performance.
