FAQs

Is this pad compatible with all Makita orbital sanders?

This pad is designed for specific Makita 5-inch orbital sander models. Please refer to the compatibility list in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section to confirm if your model is supported.

How do I attach a sanding disc to this pad?

This pad features a hook and loop system. Simply align the sanding disc with the pad and press firmly to attach. Ensure the disc is centered for best results.

How often should I replace the backing pad?

Replacement frequency depends on usage. Look for signs of wear, such as a worn hook and loop surface, cracks in the pad, or excessive vibration during use, which indicate it's time for a replacement.

Does this pad come with screws for attachment?

This product includes one replacement backing pad. It is designed to use the original screws from your Makita sander for attachment.

What is the diameter of this backing pad?

The backing pad has a diameter of 5 inches (125mm).

Will this pad improve my sander's dust collection?

Yes, this pad features eight dust extraction holes designed to work with your sander's dust collection system, helping to minimize airborne dust.

Troubleshooting

Sanding disc not sticking securely

Ensure the hook and loop surfaces on both the pad and the sanding disc are clean and free of dust or debris. Inspect the pad's hook and loop for wear; if excessively worn, the pad may need replacement.

Excessive vibration or noise

Verify that the backing pad is securely attached to the sander's base and that the sanding disc is centered and properly affixed. Check for any foreign objects lodged in the dust extraction holes or near the motor.

Poor dust collection

Confirm that all eight dust extraction holes on the backing pad are clear. Ensure your sander's dust bag or vacuum system is properly connected and not full.

Pad seems loose or wobbly

Check that the screws attaching the backing pad to the sander are tightened securely. If the mounting holes on the pad are stripped, the pad may need to be replaced.

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:

  1. Ensure the sander is unplugged.
  2. 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.
  3. Align the three mounting holes on the OKODOKO backing pad with the corresponding screw posts on the sander's base.
  4. Secure the new backing pad using the original screws (ensure they are clean and in good condition).
  5. 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.
