THE JAWS ON MY MAKITA SANDER WOULD NO LONGER GRASP THE SANDPAPER

Assembled the old sander, fortunately there are plenty of sources of exploded parts list to make sure you gat it back together properly.

1. Removed 4 screws from the bottom plate.
2. Removed the old clamps.
3. Replaced the clamps.
4. Replaced 4 screws.
