Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Makita Palm Sander Paper, ensure your palm sander is compatible (Makita BO4555, BO4554, BO4561 or Hitachi). Attach the sanding sheet by aligning it with the hook and loop system on your sander. Make sure the dust extraction holes align properly for optimal dust removal. During use, avoid excessive pressure, as this can reduce the paper's lifespan and affect the finish. After sanding, remove dust with a brush or compressed air. Store the sanding sheets in a dry place to prevent moisture damage and maintain their effectiveness.
