Product Description
Makita polishers are a top choice for automotive detailers and marine enthusiasts. The 18V LXT® Brushless Cordless 5'/6' Dual Action Random Orbit Polisher (XOP02Z) offers outstanding performance for multiple jobs. It features dual - action control, allowing you to choose between 'random orbit with forced rotation' or 'random orbit with free rotation'. The variable - speed control dial has five settings, enabling users to adjust the speed and action according to the task. The cordless design gets rid of the trouble of cord management and the risk of accidentally scratching delicate surfaces. The electronic controller automatically adds power to keep a constant speed even under load. It also provides a soft start for smooth operation and longer gear life, making it perfect for commercial - duty polishing. The BL™ Brushless Motor has no carbon brushes, running cooler and more efficiently for a longer lifespan. It's part of Makita's large 18V Lithium - Ion system, the world's biggest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium - Ion slide - style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium - Ion batteries charge quickly, so you can spend more time working and less time waiting. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ enhance tool performance and extend battery life. This communication technology lets the tool and battery exchange data in real - time, protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with the star symbol, indicating Star Protection. Included with the polisher are a 5' plastic backing plate (hook & loop, 197923 - 2), a 6' plastic backing plate (hook & loop, 197929 - 0), and a hex wrench 5.
Using the Makita XOP02Z polisher is easy. First, choose the right backing plate (5' or 6') for your job and attach it. Then, insert a compatible 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion battery. You can adjust the speed using the variable - speed control dial according to the polishing task. Press the power switch to start. The power switch lock - on can be used for continuous operation. When using it, make sure to hold the ergonomic knob handle firmly for better control. Be careful not to let the tool rest on delicate surfaces for too long to avoid damage. The rubberized tool rest helps protect surfaces. Always use it in a well - ventilated area as the wire mesh air vent intake covers prevent pad fibers from entering the motor. After use, remove the battery to prevent accidental start - up. To maintain the tool, keep it clean and dry. Wipe it down after each use. If you notice any problems, such as a change in speed or unusual noise, stop using it and have it checked. Also, make sure to charge the battery using the Rapid Optimum Charger to optimize its life.
