Description
Overview:
The Fan Guide for Makita BO4555 Sanders (MPN 450069-8) is a genuine Makita spare part designed to maintain efficient airflow through your sander. Made from robust moulded plastic, it directs air around the motor and pad area to support cooling and dust extraction, helping the tool run smoothly and last longer. This OEM guide is engineered for an accurate fit in the Makita BO4555 and BO4556 finishing sanders, restoring correct air channels when the original guide is worn, cracked, or missing. A sound fan guide helps protect internal components from heat and dust build-up, preserves sanding performance, and keeps extraction effective when connected to a dust bag or vacuum. Ideal for routine maintenance or refurbishment of frequently used sanders.
