Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This backing pad is designed for Makita 5-inch orbital sanders, including models: BO5041, BO5040, BO5031, BO5030, BO5012, BO5020, BO5021, BO5010, DBO180, DBO140Z, and DBO180Z. Always double-check your sander's model number to ensure compatibility before purchasing.
Setup:
- Ensure the sander is unplugged.
- Carefully unscrew the old backing pad from the sander's base. You may need a screwdriver to gently pry it loose if it's stuck.
- Align the three mounting holes on the OKODOKO backing pad with the corresponding screw posts on the sander's base.
- Secure the new backing pad using the original screws (ensure they are clean and in good condition).
- Attach your desired sanding disc to the hook and loop surface.
Care:
- Periodically inspect the hook and loop surface for debris and clean with a stiff brush if necessary.
- Ensure the dust extraction holes remain clear of dust and debris for optimal performance.
- Avoid excessive force when attaching or detaching sanding discs to preserve the hook and loop material.
