Residual risks Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain residual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a pro-longed period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Danger! The electric power tool generates an electro-magnetic field during operation. Under certain circumstances this field may actively or passively impede medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their doctor and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to using the equipment.

Before Starting the Equipment

Warning! Always remove the battery pack before making adjustments to the equipment.

Assembling the drywall sander (Fig. 2)
Take the drywall sander out of the packaging, unfold it and secure with the locking hook (11). Make sure that the locking hook (11) engages correctly.

Fitting the telescopic extension (Fig. 3)
Insert the telescopic extension (4) into the opening (a) on the equipment and lock it with the locking lever for the telescopic extension (3).

Note: Adjust the drywall power sander with the telescopic extension (4) so that you can work with it most comfortably. Observe the „Max“ mark on the telescopic extension: This must not be exceeded.

Dust extraction
Important!
Connect the adapter to a dust extraction system or a vacuum cleaner. This will provide excellent extraction of chips and dust.
Connecting the dust extractor hose (Fig. 4 / Item 6)

1.  Insert the dust extractor hose (6) into the opening (b) in the telescopic extension (4)
2.  Lock the hose by turning the ring (c) as shown in Fig. 4

Dust is extracted directly through the abrasive paper and the sanding head (8).

Connecting the dust extractor adapter for an external dust extraction system (Fig. 5 / Item 7)

1. Slide the dust extractor adapter (7) on to the dust extractor hose (6).
2. Lock the dust extractor adapter (7) by turning it as shown in Fig. 5

Connecting the dust catch bag (Figs. 6-8 / Item 12)

1. Slide the dust catch bag (12) on to the dust extractor hose (6).

2. Lock the dust catch bag (12) by turning it as shown in Fig. 6
   To seal the dust catch bag (12) so that it is dust-tight, proceed as follows (Fig. 7)

3. Close the dust catch bag (12)

4. Roll it up as far as the white line

5. Connect the quick-release lock together.
   To open the dust catch bag (12), proceed in re-verse order. (Fig. 8)
   Caution! For health safety reasons it is imperative that you use a dust extractor.

Fastening the grinding/sanding paper (Fig. 9)
The hook-and-loop fastener enables easy changing of the abrasive paper. Make sure that the vacuum extraction holes on the abrasive paper and the sanding head (8) are aligned.

Lock for ceiling work (Fig. 10 / Item 9)
The sanding head (8) can be locked in such a way that the sanding surface always faces up-wards.  This makes it easy to position it on the ceiling.
To lock the sanding head (8) in this way, attach the rubber clip (9b) to the provided hook (9a) as shown in Fig. 10.

Perimeter work (Fig. 11)
For perimeter work, remove the cover (d) as shown in Fig. 11 and turn the housing of the san-ding head (8) into the required position.

Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 12-13)

1.  Remove the battery pack (e) from the handle, pressing the push lock button (f) downwards to do so.

2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert the power plug of the charger
   (i) into the socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to fl ash.

3. Push the battery pack (e) onto the battery charger.

In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will fi nd a table with an explanation of the LED indicator on the charger. If the battery pack fails to charge, check for the following:

•  voltage at the power socket
• whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of the charging unit If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
• the charger and charging adapter and the battery pack to our customer service center.

To ensure that items are properly packaged and delivered when you send them to us, please contact our customer service or the point of sale at which the equipment was purchased. When shipping or disposing of batteries and cordless tools, always ensure that they are packed individually in plastic bags to prevent short circuits and fires. To ensure that the battery pack provides long service, you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the performance of the device drops. Never allow the battery pack to become fully discharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

• Battery charge level indicator (Fig. 12/ Item g)
  Press the button for the battery charge level indicator (h). The battery charge level indicator (g) will indicate the charge status of the battery by means of 3 LEDs.

• All 3 LEDs are lit:
  The battery is fully charged.

• 2 or 1 LED(s) are lit:
  The battery has an adequate remaining charge.

• 1 LED fl ashes:
  The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

• All LEDs blink:
  The battery temperature is too low. Remove the battery from the equipment, keep it at room temperature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this means that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

Working with the drywall power sander

• Place the whole surface area of the sanding head on the material.
•  Switch on the machine and move it with gentle pressure over the workpiece, making circular or transverse and linear movements.
•  Use a coarse grit for coarse sanding and a finer grit for finish sanding. You can find the best grit size for the job by carrying out san-ding tests.

Caution! The dusts which are formed while the equipment is being used may be a health hazard:

• Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask during sanding work.
• All persons who work with the equipment or enter the workplace must wear a protective dust mask.
•  Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited at the workplace.
•  Paints containing lead are not allowed to be used!

Swiveling sanding head
The sanding head can be swiveled in two axes, enabling comfortable sanding even overhead and in tight spaces.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering spare parts

Hazard!
Always pull out the battery pack before starting any cleaning work.

Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
•  We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

Maintenance

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
