FAQs
What grit is best for drywall?
120 grit is commonly used for the final sanding stage on drywall, but for rougher surfaces, start with a lower grit like 80 before using the 120.
How do I attach the sanding discs?
Align the disc with the sanding pad on your Makita DSL800ZU and press firmly to secure it using the hook and loop system.
How often should I replace the sanding discs?
Replace the discs when they become worn or lose their sanding effectiveness. This depends on the amount of use and the materials being sanded.
Can I use these discs on wood?
While these discs are designed for drywall, they can be used on wood. However, the grit may be too fine for some wood sanding applications, and the disc may wear out more quickly.
How should I store the sanding discs?
Store the discs in a dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight, to preserve their quality.
What is the benefit of the dust extraction holes?
The dust extraction holes help remove sanding dust, which improves the sanding performance, extends the life of the disc, and creates a cleaner work environment.
Where can I buy these sanding discs?
You can purchase these sanding discs at various hardware stores and online retailers that carry Makita products.
Troubleshooting
Sanding performance is poor.
Check if the disc is worn out and needs replacing. Ensure the dust extraction system is functioning correctly.
Excessive dust during sanding.
Check the dust extraction system and ensure it's properly connected and functioning. Also, make sure the disc is properly aligned and secured.
Sander leaves swirl marks or scratches.
Check the disc for debris and replace it if necessary. Adjust the sanding pressure and technique to achieve a smoother finish.
