I remember the first Makita palm sander from 30(?) years ago. We all
had a good laugh in my local tool shop. It made a lot of noise and did
little else, but it was very cheap.

Since then, they have learned how to make quality products and provide
proper spares and service backup.

Do they have a free service telephone number with piped music while you wait?

Why don't you call them and find out.
