Makita polishers are a top choice for automotive detailers and marine lovers. The 18V LXT® Brushless Cordless 5' / 6' Dual Action Random Orbit Polisher (XOP02Z) comes with advanced features for reliable performance on every job. It has dual - action control, offering 'random orbit with forced rotation' or 'random orbit with free rotation', and a variable - speed control dial with five settings so you can adjust the speed and action for different tasks. The cordless design gets rid of the trouble of cord management and prevents accidental damage to delicate surfaces. It has an electronic controller that automatically adds power to keep a constant speed even under load. It also provides a soft start for smoother operation and a longer gear life. Ideal 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, powered by fast - charging 18V Lithium - Ion slide - style batteries. Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ enhances tool performance and battery life by protecting against overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. The tool can be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium - Ion batteries with Star Protection. Included are a 5' plastic backing plate, a 6' plastic backing plate, and a hex wrench 5.

Using this Makita polisher is easy. First, choose the right backing plate (either 5' or 6') for your job. Then, insert a compatible 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion battery. You can select the speed using the variable - speed control dial with five settings. There are two action modes: 'random orbit with forced rotation' or 'random orbit with free rotation'. Just pick the one that suits your polishing task. When starting the tool, the soft - start feature will ensure a smooth start. Remember, when you're done using the tool, turn it off and remove the battery. For maintenance, keep the wire mesh air vent intake covers clean to prevent pad fibers from entering the motor. Also, don't overload the tool. If you feel it's struggling, reduce the pressure or change the speed setting. Store the tool in a dry place to avoid damage. And always make sure the battery is properly charged before use.
