WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 62841 and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration
and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects
of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes,
linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite in the vacuum cleaner bag or elsewhere and
cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire always empty the vacuum cleaner bag
frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or leave a vacuum
cleaner without totally emptying its vacuum cleaner bag. Also follow the
recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES
- Use of Li-Ion batteries
- Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.
- Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
- The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
- For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged, after use.
- To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
- For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
- Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from moisture
- Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition
- Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
- Battery protection for Li-Ion batteries
- In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the tool will vibrate for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge will flash,and then the tool will turn OFF.
- To reset, release the trigger. Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge will flash until the battery pack cooled down. After the lights go off, the work may continue.
Transporting Lithium Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with local,
national and international provisions and regulations.
The user can transport the batteries by road without further requirements.
Commercial transport of Lithium-Ion batteries by third parties is subject to
Dangerous Goods regulations. Transport preparation and transport are
exclusively to be carried out by appropriately trained persons and the process
has to be accompanied by corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
Ensure that battery contact terminals are protected and insulated to prevent
short circuit.
Ensure that battery pack is secured against movement within packaging. Do not
transport batteries that are cracked or leak. Check with forwarding company
for further advice.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
The stock removal rate during sanding and the surface finish
are essentially determined by the choice of sanding belt and the preselected
belt speed. The higher the belt speed, the higher the stock removal and the
finer the sanding surface.
Only flawless abrasive belts produce good sanding performance and protect the
power tool. If possible, work with a low contact pressure to increase the
service life of the sanding belts. The dead weight of the power tool is
sufficient for good sanding performance. Excessive increase of the contact
pressure does not result in higher sanding performance, but in greater wear of
the power tool and the sanding belt.
Place the power tool switched on on the surface to be machined. Work at a
moderate feed rate and carry out the sanding process parallel and overlapping
to the sanding paths. Sand in the direction of the grain, crosswise sanding
tracks result in disturbing sanding effects.
Particularly when sanding off paint residues, these may melt and smear the
material surface and the sanding belt. Therefore, work with dust extraction.
A sanding belt with which metal has already been processed should not be used
for other materials.
Only store abrasive belts in a hanging position and do not bend them,
otherwise they will become unusable.
Preselect belt speed
The required belt speed depends on the material and the working conditions and
can be determined using practical tests.
CLEANING
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
