Using the Makita XVP01ZB is easy. First, make sure you've inserted the 18V LXT Compact Lithium - Ion battery correctly. You can choose between the polish mode and sanding mode using the dual - speed selector. For a slow and smooth polish, use the lower speed setting. When you need to sand, switch to the higher speed. The variable - speed trigger allows you to control the speed precisely, and you can lock it on for continuous use. When handling the tool, hold it by the ergonomic rubberized T - handle for better comfort and control. The side handle provides two - hand operation and is angled to avoid unwanted contact with the work surface. When changing the pads, press the spindle lock button to make the process easier. Some important things to note: Always ensure the power switch is off before inserting or removing the battery. Don't use the tool in wet or extremely dusty conditions without proper protection. Also, check the battery charge level regularly to avoid sudden stops during work. For maintenance, keep the wire mesh air vent intake covers clean to prevent pad fibers from getting into the motor. After each use, wipe down the tool to remove dust and debris. If you're not using the tool for a long time, store the battery separately in a cool and dry place. This will help keep your Makita XVP01ZB in good working condition for a long time.
