Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for futurereference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refersto your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety

► Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered or dark areas invile accidents.
► Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres. such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignile the dust or fumes.
► Keep children and bystanders a way while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
► Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
► Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
► Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
► Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
► When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
► If operating a power tool in a damp loca- tion is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
► Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
► Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
► Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off -position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
► Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
► Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
► Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
► If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
► Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
► Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. ► Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off . Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
► Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments ,changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally .

Operation instructions

► IMPORTANT:to reduce risk of injury,please read this user guide before use.
Intended use
► This tool is intended to dry sanding ofwood, plastic,fi ller and coated surfaces.
Assembly Waning!
► Remove the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,changing accessories, or storing powertools.
Selecting the right sanding disc
► Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper isan important decision to achieve the bestquality sanding fi nish.
► Coase grit will remove the most mateialand fi ner grit will give you the best fi nish in all sanding operations.The condition of the suface to be sanded will detemine which git will do the job.
► If the suface is rough, start with coarse grit and sand until the suface is uniform. Usea medium grit to remove any scratches left by the coarse grit. Then use a fi ner grit for fi nishing the suface.
► Always continue sanding with each grit until the suface is unifom. Sanding discs sold separately.
Waning!
► Danger to life due to electrical shock! The poduct may only be used fo dry sanding wok.
Waning!
► When woking, hold the poduct up against vertical sufaces in such a way that the dust collector points downwads.
Waning!
► Excessive pressure does not result in geater sanding perfomance, instead it causes geater wear on the product and sanding sheet. Fitting the sanding disc (see fi g. A) Waning!
► remove the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments,changing accessories,or storing power tool.
► This sandefeatues an easy hook and loop accessory Fastening system foquick changing without clamps.The sanding discs ae placed diectly onto the sanding pad.The hole pattern in the sanding pad and sanding disc mustMatch. Press the sanding disc onto the sanding disc by hand.Fimly pess the power tool with the sanding sheet against a Flat surface and biefl y switch the powetool on. This povides Fogood adhesion and prevents pematue wear.Before placing the sanding disc,fee the sanding pad from Dust/debis by lightly tapping against it.
Removing the sanding disc
► To remove, simply peel the sanding disc away from the sanding pad.
Using the removable dust bag (See fi g. C)
► Your sander is equipped with a removable dust bag ,which is designed for almost dust free working. Insert the removable dust bag into the dust extraction prot of the sander . Then pull the removable dust bag to make sure it is Tightened securely to the dust outlet [see fi g. C].
Emptying the removable dust bag
► For more efficient operation, empty dust bag, every 5-10mins. This will permit the air to fl ow through the bag better .
► To empty, pull the removable dust bag from the dust extaction port and shake out dust.
Dust extaction port
► A vacuum hose can be connected to the dust extaction port for cleaner cutting operations. The vacuum cleane must be suitable for the material being worked on.
On/off switch (see fi g. D)
► To start your sander , depress the protective cover over the switch at the position marked’’I”. To stop your sander , depress the protective cover at the position marked “O”.
Using the sander (see fi g. E)
► The workpiece to be sanded must be secured.
► Be sure to hold the sander firmly while it is on and apply it gently to the work, as it may “kick”’on fi st contact. Hold the sander so that it is fl at on the workpiece and move in long,sweeping strokes across the surface. Let the sander do the work. Applying excessive pessure will slow the sander and produce unsatisfactory results. Light pressure is all that is needed for sanding, polishing, or scrubbing. Regularly check the condition of the sanding paper and replace it when worn for best results.
► Check you work often as this sander removes material quickly. Do not allow your sander to remain in the same position otherwise, you will remove too much material and create an uneven surface.

Disposal of an exhausted battery pack

► Olympia tools provides a facility for the collection and recycling of rechargeable liion batteries once they have reached the end of thei working life. To dispose of you battery please return to any olympia tools stockist who will collect them on our behalf. Alternatively consult your local waste authority for information regarding available recycling and/or disposal options. It will then be ecycled or dismantled in orde to reduce the impact on the environment battery packs can be hazardous for the environment and to human health since they contain hazardous substances.
► Discharge you battery pack by operating your random orbital sander , then remove the battery pack fom the andom orbital sander housing and cove the battery pack connections with heavy-duty adhesive tape to prevent short circuit and energy discharge. Do not attempt to open or remove any of the components.
Overload protection
► When overloaded, the motor comes to a stop. Relieve the load on the tool immediately and release the on/off switch. Restart the tool as no mal.
Temperature dependent oveload protection
► When used as intended the power tool cannot be subject to overload. When the load is too high or the allowable battery temperature is too hot, the electronic control switches off the power tool until the temperature is in the optimumtemperature range again.
Protection against deep discharging
► The li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging by the “discharging protection system”. When the battery is empty, the tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit. The andom orbital sander will no longer rotate.Remove the battery and echarge.
Useful tips
► Your sander is ideal for working on wood, metals and painted surfaces. It will smooth surfaces prior to painting,even where fi llers have been used and left proud.
► You sander is best suited to large fl at areas such as doors but can also be used on skirting boards, windows,etc, provided they are accessible.
► Diff erent types of sanding paper will allow the sander to meet various needs. Diff erent grades of sanding paper are available, the higher grade number, the fi ne the grit. For rough work start with a low grade of grit [e.g. 60 Grit] and changer to a higher, fi ner gader [e.g. 100 or 120] for fi nishing. If you use a fi ner grade fo rough surfaces it will soon clog and need changing.
► Let the sander do the work at all times. Do not force it or apply excessive pressure to the sanding paper or it could winkle or tear .
► If the surface shows excessive markings from the abrasive motion, you may be using a grit which is too coarse or applying too much pressure.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If the sander does not remove material rapidly?
► Check the sanding sheet. If the sanding sheet is worn, replace with a new sheet and try again. The sheet must be kept in a dry place, if it is allowed to become damp, the abrasive particles will lose their adhesion to the backing paper and will not remove material rapidly.
If the sander does not move smoothly?
► The sanding sheet may be loose, damaged o wrinkled.Replace and try again.
If a fault can not be rectifi ed?
► Return the sander to an authorised dealer for repair .
Reasons for diff erent battery pack working times?
► Prolonged storage of a battery pack without use will reduce the battery pack working time. This can be corrected after several charge and discharge operations by charging and working with you random orbital sander . Heavy working conditions such as large screws into hard wood will use up the battery pack energy faster than lighter working conditions.Do not re-charge you battery pack below 0°c and above 45 as this will aff ect performance.

Safety Warnings for Sander
► Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
► Ensure that no persons are at risk due to flying sparks. Remove combustible materials from the surrounding area. Flying sparks are created when sanding metals.
► Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the workpiece and the sander. Always empty the dust collector before taking a break from work.Sanding dust in the dust bag, microfi lter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or vacuum cleaner filter) can spontaneously combust under certain conditions, for example if fl ying sparks are created when sanding metals. This risk is increased if the sanding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue or with other chemical substances and if the workpiece is hot as a result of prolonged work.
► Clean the air vents on your power tool regularly.The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
► Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.
► Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
► Secure the workpiece.A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. Product Description and Specifications

► Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool. Changing the sanding sheet (see fi gure A) Remove dirt and dust from the sanding pad, e.g. with a paintbrush, before attaching a new sanding sheet. The surface of the sanding pad is fi tted with a hook-andloop fastening, allowing sanding sheets with a similar backing to be secured quickly and easily.
Press the sanding sheet firmly onto the underside of the sanding pad.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the drilled holes in the sanding pad.
Selection of the Sanding Plate
The power tool can be fitted with sanding pads of various hardnesses, depending on the application:

• Extra soft sanding pad: Suitable for polishing and sensitive sanding even on curved surfaces.
• Soft sanding pad: Suitable for all sanding work, universal application.
• Hard sanding pad: Suitable for heavy sanding on fl at surfaces.

Changing the sanding pad (see fi gure B)
Note: Replace damaged sanding pads immediately. Remove the sanding sheet or polishing tool. Unscrew the screw completely and remove the sanding pad. Attach the new sanding pad and retighten the screw so that it is finger-tight. Note: Pads with diameters of 150 mm and 125 mm have diff erent carriers. The pads can only be fi tted to the right power tool.
Note: When attaching the sanding pad, make sure that the teeth of the catch mate with the recesses in the sanding pad.
Note: Damaged sanding pads must only be replaced by an after-sales service centre authorised to work with P.I.T. power tools.
Dust/chip extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reactions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.

• Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the material wherever possible.
• Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
• It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.

The regulations on the material being machined that apply in the country of use must be observed.
► Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can easily ignite.
External dust extraction (see fi gure C)
Attach the dust extraction adapter to the extraction outlet. Make sure that the locking levers of the dust extraction adapter lock into place.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the power tool with the dust extraction hose facing downwards.

Operation

Starting Operation
► Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the power source must match the voltage specifi ed on the rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
► Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch without releasing the handle. To switch on the power tool, press and hold the on/off switch.
To lock the on/off switch press and hold it while also pushing the lock-on button.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch. If the on/off switch is locked, press the switch fi rst and then release it.
Preselecting the orbital stroke rate You can even preselect the orbital stroke rate during operation using the necessary orbital stroke rate preselection thumbwheel.
The required orbital stroke rate is dependent on the material and the work conditions and can be determined using practical tests.
The Constant Electronic keeps the orbital stroke rate at no load and under load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uniform performance.
After working at a low orbital stoke rate for an extended period, you should operate the power tool at the maximum orbital stroke rate for approximately three minutes without load to cool it down.
Sanding Plate Brake
An integrated sanding pad brake reduces the orbital stroke rate when running without load to prevent scoring when the power tool is placed on the workpiece.
If the no-load orbital stroke rate constantly increases over time, this means that the sanding pad is damaged and must be replaced, or that the sanding pad brake is worn. A worn sanding pad brake must be replaced by an after-sales service centre authorised to work with P.I.T. power tools.
Working Advice
► Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any work on the power tool.
► Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
► This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use. It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a workbench, for example.
Sanding Surfaces
Switch the power tool on, place the entire sanding surface against the surface of the workpiece and apply moderate pressure as you move the sander over the workpiece. The material removal rate and sanding result are primarily determined by the choice of sanding sheet, the preselected orbital stroke rate level and the contact pressure.
Only immaculate sanding sheets achieve good sanding performance and make the power tool last longer.
Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure in order to increase the lifetime of the sanding sheets.
Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to increased sanding performance, rather it will cause more severe wear of the power tool and of the sanding sheet. Do not use a sanding sheet for other materials after it has been used to work on metal. Use only original P.I.T.-sanding accessories.
Rough Sanding
Attach a coarse grit sanding sheet.
Apply only light pressure to the power tool so that it runs at a higher orbital stroke rate and a higher material removal rate is achieved.
Fine Sanding
Attach a fi ne grit sanding sheet. You can reduce the sanding plate orbital stroke rate by lightly varying the contact pressure or changing the orbital stroke rate level; the random orbit motion will be retained.
Move the power tool with moderate pressure flat on the workpiece in a circular motion or alternately along and across it. Do not tilt the power tool in order to avoid sanding through the workpiece, e.g. veneers.
Switch the power tool off after completing operation.
Polishing
For polishing weathered lacquers and redressing scratches (e.g. acrylic glass), the power tool can be fitted with an appropriate polishing tool, e.g. lambswool bonnet, polishing felt or polishing sponge (accessory).
Select a low orbital stroke rate (level 1–2) when polishing in order to avoid heating up the surface excessively.
Apply the polish to an area slightly smaller than the area which you intend to polish.
Using the appropriate polishing tool, work in the polish with either linear or circular movements and with moderate pressure.
Do not allow the polish to dry out on the surface; this may damage the surface. Do not expose the surface which you intend to polish to direct sunlight.
Clean the polishing tool regularly to ensure good polishing results. Wash the polishing tools with mild detergent and warm water; do not use thinning agents.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
