Using the Makita 9903 belt sander is quite straightforward. First, make sure to connect it to a power source using the long 16.4 ft. power cord. Adjust the variable speed control dial according to the material you're working on - for softer materials, a lower speed might be better, and for harder ones, you can increase the speed. Place the sander on the surface you want to sand and start moving it back and forth gently. When sanding near walls, use the innovative design that allows the nose and side of the sander to get flush against the wall. As you work, the dust bag will collect the debris, keeping your workspace clean. Don't forget to empty the dust bag regularly to maintain its efficiency. Regarding maintenance, check the abrasive belt for wear and tear often. Replace it when it starts to lose its effectiveness. If you use the optional sanding shoe, make sure it's properly attached and adjusted for precise sanding. Also, keep the sander in a dry place when not in use. Always ensure the sander is unplugged before performing any maintenance or when you're done using it for safety reasons.
