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: maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, and 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 sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause a fire. To reduce the risk of fire always empty the dust bag frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also, follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Never reach into the dangerous area of the machine when it is running. Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the machine.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health.
Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust absorption system and wear a suitable dust protection mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g. with a vacuum cleaner.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to find out the cause.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady. Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots – the danger of short circuits!
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g. asbestos).
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark flight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., Can cause a short circuit.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times. Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.

SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

The belt sander can be used for sanding wood, plastic, metal, filler, and painted surfaces.
This machine is suitable only for dry sanding.
Do not use the product in any way other than those stated for the intended use.

RESIDUAL RISK

Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following:

• Injury caused by vibration. Hold the product by designated handles and restrict working time and exposure.
• Exposure to noise can cause hearing injury. Wear ear protection and limit exposure.
• Injury due to flying debris. Wear eye protection, heavy long trousers, gloves, and substantial footwear at all times.
• Inhalation of toxic dust.

NOTES FOR LI-ION BATTERIES

Use of Li-Ion batteries
Battery packs that 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 lifetime, 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 a 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 exclusive 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 circuits.
Ensure that the battery pack is secured against movement within the packaging. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leak. Check with the 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. The 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
