Full details
The Makita DPV300Z is an 18V cordless sander and polisher designed for users who need precision and comfort for detailed work. Its key benefit is offering dual-speed functionality for both sanding and polishing in a compact, ergonomic design, reducing user fatigue.

FAQs
Is a battery and charger included with the Makita DPV300Z?
No, the Makita DPV300Z is supplied as a 'body only' unit. You will need to purchase a compatible 18V Makita LXT battery and charger separately.
What is the maximum pad size for sanding and polishing?
The tool is designed for a 50mm pad diameter for sanding and can accommodate pads up to 80mm for polishing.
How do I switch between sanding and polishing modes?
The tool features a dual speed selector. You can switch between the lower polishing speed range (0-2,800 RPM) and the higher sanding speed range (0-9,500 RPM) using the dedicated speed setting.
What does 'Anti-restart protection' mean?
This safety feature prevents the motor from starting automatically when the battery is inserted if the power switch is already in the 'on' or 'locked-on' position, preventing accidental activation.
Can I use this for heavy-duty sanding or polishing?
The DPV300Z is optimized for detail work and lighter applications due to its compact size and pad diameters. For larger surfaces or heavy material removal, a larger, dedicated sander or polisher might be more suitable.
What is XPT technology?
XPT (eXtreme Protection Technology) enhances the tool's resistance to dust and water ingress, making it more durable for use in challenging job site conditions.
Troubleshooting
Tool won't turn on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the lock-on switch is engaged. If the issue persists, try a different battery.
Reduced power or speed
The battery may be low on charge. Recharge or replace the battery. Check the pad for excessive friction or damage. Ensure air vents are clear of dust and debris.
Tool stops unexpectedly
This could be due to the anti-restart function if the switch was engaged when the battery was inserted. Check for overheating; allow the tool to cool down. Ensure the battery charge is sufficient.
Excessive vibration
Check that the pad is securely attached and balanced. Ensure the surface being worked on is not uneven. If the vibration is abnormal, inspect the tool for damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a compatible 18V Makita LXT battery (sold separately).
- Insert the battery firmly into the tool until it clicks.
- Attach the appropriate pad (sanding disc or polishing pad) to the spindle. For sanding, use the 50mm pad; for polishing, use the larger pad (up to 80mm diameter).
- If using the side handle, attach it to the designated mounting point for better control.
Compatibility:
- This tool is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries.
- It uses twist-on/off type pads and adaptors, typically up to 50mm for sanding and 80mm for polishing.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners. Clean any dust from vents.
- Storage: Store the tool in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ideally, use a Makita tool bag or case.
- Maintenance: Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage on the cord (if applicable to battery), pad, and housing. Ensure vents are clear of debris.
