If you give the equipment to any other person, hand over these operating instructions and safety regulations as well. We cannot accept any liability for damage or accidents which arise due to a failure to follow these instructions and the safety instructions.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNING

WARNING!

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

   • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite 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 ignite the dust or fumes.
   • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. 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. Unmodified 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 or 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 location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. 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 finger 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 and clothing 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.

4. 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
   • Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   • Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   • Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
   • Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations

5. Service
   Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6. Battery tool use and care
   a. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   b. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   c. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
   d. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
   Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

TURNING THE SANDER ON/OFF

See Figure 6.
Follow these directions to switch the sander on and off.
Press the rocker switch to “I” to switch the sander on.
Press the rocker switch to “O” to switch the sander off.

ADJUSTING THE SPEED

See Figure 7.
The variable speed feature allows the sander to operate at speeds that can be adjusted by rotating the dial from 1 to 6. The dial is conveniently located on the motor housing, allowing operator control of disc speed. Follow these directions to adjust the speed.

• To increase the speed: Turn the dial to a higher setting (towards 6).
• To decrease the speed: Turn the dial to a lower setting (towards 1).

SELECTING SANDING DISCS
Selecting the correct size grit and type of sanding disc is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for power sanding.
In general, when sanding, coarse grit removes the most material and fine grit produces the best finish. The condition of the surface to be sanded determines which grit will do the best job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium grit to remove scratches left by the coarser grit. Finally, use finer grit for finishing the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.

ATTACHING SANDING DISCS

See Figure 8.
NOTE: Use only 125mm hook-and-loop sanding discs which can be found at local home centers and hardware stores.

• Switch off the sander and remove the battery pack.

• Align the holes in the hook-and-loop sanding disc with the holes in the backing pad.
  NOTE: Line up the holes in the sanding disc with the holes in the backing pad in order for the dustless feature to function properly.

• Press the fuzzy side of the sanding disc against the backing pad as firmly as possible.

WARNING:
Failure to switch off the tool and remove battery pack could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.

NOTE: You can reuse hook-and-loop type sanding discs for the life of the sanding abrasive. We recommend that you clean the backing pad occasionally by brushing it lightly with a small brush for best adhesion.

CHANGING THE SANDING DISCS
The sander is packed with sanding sheets and pads designed for a variety of uses. To change, simply pull the used sheet or pad off the base and attach the desired sheet or pad by pressing it onto the base of the sander.

USING THE DUST CANISTER
The dust canister provides a dust collection system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc and collected in the dust canister during sanding.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING DUST CANISTER

• Switch off the sander and remove the battery pack.
• To remove dust canister, Pull the dust canister away from the dust port .
• To install dust canister, align dust port with hole in dust canister ( Note that the protrusion on the dust canister should be aligned with the groove of the dust port), push the canister into the dust port until it it locks into place.(Fig. 9)

WARNING:
Failure to switch off the tool and remove battery pack could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.

CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE DUST CANISTER
For more efficient operation, empty the dust canister when it is no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the canister better. Always empty and clean the dust canister thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation and before placing the sander in storage.
To empty canister remove dust canister and pour out the dust inside.
NOTE: Do not wash the micro filter with soap and water. Dust may become more firmly lodged in the pores, which will reduce dust collection, and damage the micro filter.

OPERATING THE SANDER

See Figures 10 and 11.
Follow these steps to operate the sander.

• Secure the work to prevent it from moving under the sander.
  
  

WARNING:
Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards the operator causing injury.

WARNING:
Keep your head away from the sander and the sanding area. Your hair could be drawn into the sander causing serious injury.

• Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the sanding disc surface is in contact with the workpiece.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to let your hand cover the air vents.

• Start the sander and let the motor build to its maximum speed, move it slowly over the workpiece.

• Make successive passes in parallel lines, circles, or crosswise movements.
  NOTE: Do not sand on one spot too long as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material,  making the surface uneven.

• Switch the sander off and wait until the sanding disc comes to a complete stop before removing it from the workpiece.
  NOTE: Extended periods of sanding may overheat the motor. If this occurs, switch the sander off and wait until the sanding sheet comes to a complete stop. Remove sander from workpiece.

HELPFUL TIPS

• HELPFUL TIPS
  Do not force the sander. The weight of the unit  supplies adequate pressure; therefore, let the sanding disc and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears the sanding disc, and greatly reduces the sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any finish or resin on the wood may soften from the frictional heat.

• Do not sand on one spot too long. The sander’s rapid action may remove too much material, making the surface uneven. Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn off the sander and wait until the sanding disc comes to a complete stop. Then remove the sander from the workpiece. Remove your hand from the vent area, remove the sanding disc, then (with your hand removed from the vent area) turn on the sander and run it free, without a load, to cool the motor.

STORAGE

Store the equipment and accessories in a dark and dry place at above freezing temperature. The ideal storage temperature is between 5°C(41°F) and 30°C(86°F). Store the electric tool in its original packaging.
For storage, it is suggested to recharge the battery between 50% and 75% charge, and charge the device at least once in 3-6 months to preserve battery lifespan.
