The 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless 5-Inch Random Orbital Sander (model XOB01Z, tool only) is a game-changer for woodworkers. It offers increased efficiency and ultimate mobility. With three speed settings (7,000/9,500/11,000 OPM), you can easily match the speed to your application using a one-touch electronic control switch, enabling faster material removal. The large 1/8-inch random orbit action ensures efficient sanding, rapid material removal, and a swirl-free finish. The pad brake reduces free-spin for an improved overall finish, and the control system regulates pad speed at start-up. It uses quick-change 5-inch (8-hole) hook-and-loop abrasive paper for greater versatility. This sander is part of Makita's expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world's largest cordless tool lineup powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they work more and charge less. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating, and the tool is compatible with Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol. It comes with a 3-year limited warranty, but remember, the battery and charger are sold separately, and only genuine Makita batteries and chargers should be used.
Using this sander is easy. First, make sure you've attached the right 5-inch (8-hole) hook-and-loop abrasive paper. Then, select the appropriate speed setting (7,000, 9,500, or 11,000 OPM) using the one-touch electronic control switch according to your sanding task. Hold the sander firmly with its ergonomic body and grip for maximum comfort. When starting the sander, the pad control system will regulate the pad speed. Keep the sander moving evenly over the surface to get a smooth finish. The pad brake will reduce free-spin and improve the overall result. For a cleaner work environment, use the efficient through-the-pad dust collection system. Remember, the battery and charger are sold separately. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and safety. The Rapid Optimum Charger has a built - in fan to cool the battery for faster charging. It also communicates with the battery's built - in chip to optimize battery life. Store the sander in a dry place when not in use. Check the dust - sealed switch and bearing regularly, and if you notice any issues, contact Makita for service. This sander comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so enjoy using it for your woodworking projects.
