FAQs
What kind of battery does this sander use?
The Makita DBO180Z uses a Li-ion Battery BL1830. Note that the battery is not included and must be purchased separately.
Can I use any sanding pads with this sander?
For optimal performance and to prevent damage, use only genuine Makita sponge, felt, or wool pads when polishing.
Is a dust extractor included?
No, a dust extractor is not included and must be purchased separately. The sander is designed to connect to a dust extractor for a cleaner work environment.
What is the purpose of the three-speed settings?
The three-speed settings allow you to adjust the sanding speed to match the task at hand. Lower speeds are suitable for detailed work and polishing, while higher speeds are suitable for faster material removal.
What are the dimensions of the tool bag?
The dimensions of the included tool bag are 220mm x 170mm x 300mm.
How do I prevent motor overload?
Avoid excessive pressure when sanding and ensure you're using the correct speed setting for the application. Excessive pressure and incorrect speeds can lead to motor overload and malfunction.
Troubleshooting
Sander doesn't start.
Check if the battery is properly inserted and charged. If the battery is installed correctly, check the battery terminals for debris. Ensure the switch is fully engaged.
Sander vibrates excessively.
Check the sanding pad and backing pad for damage. Replace if necessary. Ensure the sandpaper is properly attached and centered.
Poor sanding performance.
Check the sandpaper grit. Use a finer grit for smoother finishes and a coarser grit for more aggressive material removal. Inspect the sanding pad for wear or damage. Make sure the correct speed setting is selected.
