NOTE
The recharging time may vary according to the ambient temperature and power source voltage.

CAUTION
When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

1. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle.
2. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery.

NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use, and then keep it.

Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries, etc.

As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and batteries that have not been used for an extended period is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when using them the fi rst and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging will be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

1. Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.
   When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

2. Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
   A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

CAUTION

• If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for 0.3 seconds). In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool, then start charging.
• When the charge indicator lamp fl ickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

MOUNTING AND OPERATION

1. Removing and inserting the battery
   CAUTION
   Before installing or removing the battery, turn the switch
   to the OFF position.
   If the battery is inserted with the switch in the ON
   position, the motor will operate unexpectedly.

2. Installing the sanding belt
   Align the arrow on the inside of the sanding belt with the direction of the mark on the tool and install it.
   CAUTION
   ○ Use only sanding belt size specifi ed on the product nameplate.

   NOTE
   ○ The drive pulley and idle pulley will be hot after use.
   ○ Use an air blow gun or similar device to remove any debris from around the pulleys with the sanding belt removed.

3. How to use the dust bag
   WARNING
   Clean the dust bag before and after sanding metal, and remove any sanding. dust from inside. Metal sanding dust can cause fires.

4. How to use the elbow
   Adjust the angle of the elbow so that the dust is
   discharged away from your body.

5. About the mode change function
   The unit has “Transmission mode” and “Auto mode”.

   • With Transmission mode, the belt sander’s number of revolutions can be set at one of fi ve stages. When operating in Transmission mode, the set number of revolutions will be maintained regardless of changes in load.
   • With Auto mode, you can lower noise and vibration by lowering the maximum number of revolutions while in a no-load state. While in Auto mode, the number of revolutions will be raised if the load becomes greater during operation. On the other hand, the number of revolutions will be lowered if the load decreases during operation. (Table 3)
   • Set the mode and dial according to work application.
     Dial setting| Belt speed
     ---|---
     1| 122 m/min
     2| 220 m/min
     3| 310 m/min
     4| 400 m/min
     5| 450 m/min
     A| 122 m/min (No load)
     450 m/min (With load)

6. How to adjust sanding belt position
   WARNING

   • If the sanding belt is positioned too close to the inside, it may come into contact with the guard, producing sparks.

   • Do not peer inside between the sanding belt and housing. Doing so risks dust or other debris entering your eyes.
     NOTE

   • If sanding belt moves during operation, adjustment can be made while in operation.

   • Setting the dial to low speed (e.g., mode 1) makes it easier to adjust.

   • If the sanding belt is positioned too close to the inside, it may come into contact with the guard, causing the belt to tear

7. How to hold and move the belt sander

   • Remove the tool from the workpiece and turn on the trigger switch. When fi nishing, turn off the trigger switch after the tool is removed from the workpiece, and set the tool down after the rotation has stopped.
   • Grasp handle and handle knob and hold machine against surface to be worked on so that it contacts surface lightly.
   • Hold both handles fi rmly, and take great care to keep your fi ngers away from the pulleys and sanding belt while working.
   • Weight of machine itself is suffi cient for sanding and polishing at highest effi ciency.
   • Do not apply any additional pressure, for this would place unnecessary load on motor, shorten life of sanding belt and lower work effi ciency.
   • Choose sanding belt of proper grain size and grain type for your specifi c purpose, by referring to Table 4 and 5 below.

   The abrasive performance of the sanding belt will decrease if its abrasive particles become worn away or clogged, greatly reducing the effi ciency of the tool. If this occurs, replace with a new sanding belt.

3. Cleaning on the outside
   When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.

4. Cleaning the battery installation compartment and the battery
   WARNING
   Wear protective glasses and a dust mask when cleaning with an air blow gun.
   Failure to do so may result in inhalation or exposure of the eyes to debris or dust.
   After working, if sanding dust has accumulated on the battery installation compartment and the battery, clean off the accumulated sanding dust with an air blow gun or a dry cloth before using the tool. (Fig. 14)
   NOTE

   • After cleaning, ensure that the battery can be installed and removed smoothly from the tool.
   • Using the tool when the battery is covered with sanding dust may lead to accidents such as the battery falling during use.
     Furthermore, such use may cause a malfunction or contact failure between the battery and terminals.

5. Maintenance of the motor
   The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

6. Storage
   Store the power tool and battery in a place in which the temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
   NOTE
   ○ When storing the tool in the case, keep sanding dust and
   debris away from it.
   Remove the battery from the tool and attach the battery cover. (Fig. 15)
   ○ Storing lithium-ion batteries.
   Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully charged before storing them.
   Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with a low charge may result in performance deterioration, signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
   However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the batteries two to fi ve times.
   If the battery usage time is extremely short despite repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead and purchase new batteries.

CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the safety regulations and standards prescribed in each country must be observed.

Information concerning airborne noise and vibration
The measured values were determined according to EN62841 and declared in accordance with ISO 4871

Measured A-weighted sound power level : 96 dB (A)
Measured A-weighted sound pressure level: 85 dB (A)
Uncertainty K : 3 dB (A).

Wear hearing protection.

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN62841.

Sanding steel plate:
Vibration emission value ah = 3.0 m/s2
Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s2

The declared vibration total value and the declared noise emission value have been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.

They may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING

• The vibration and noise emission during actual use of the power tool can diff er from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed; and
• Identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

NOTE
Due to HiKOKI’s continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without prior notice.
