Dear sir, I have had a problem with my makita sander, type electrical, model bo5000. The pad came apart while using sander without causing injury but some surprise. I purchased it in france, Paris in 1993 approximately. Before I have it repaired for ballbearing problem. I would appreciate to obtain a new pad to be installed at the closest factory service center. In France the plate for serial number is removed, I can’t give the information.
