Frequently Asked Questions - TE-OS 18/1 Li EINHELL

How to change the sandpaper on the TE-OS 18/1 Li sander?

Remove the used paper from the hook and loop pad. Position the new paper aligning the dust extraction holes, then press firmly. Make sure the paper is well centered.

Which battery to use with this sander?

Use an 18 V lithium-ion battery from Einhell's Power X-Change series. The battery is not included with the device.

How to connect a vacuum cleaner to the sander?

Remove the dust bag and connect the vacuum hose to the connector at the back of the sander. Use an adapter if necessary.

The sander does not start, what to do?

Check that the battery is charged and properly inserted. Check the on/off switch. If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

What is the ideal rotation speed for sanding wood?

For wood, set the speed between 6,000 and 8,000 min⁻¹. Use a higher speed for hard surfaces and lower for finishing.

How to clean the sanding pad?

Remove the abrasive paper and gently brush the pad with a soft brush to remove dust. Avoid solvents.

The dust bag fills quickly, is this normal?

Yes, the bag has a modest capacity. For better efficiency, empty it regularly or use an external vacuum cleaner.

Can I use abrasives from other brands?

Yes, as long as the format corresponds to 93 x 185 mm (1/3 sheet) and the hook and loop system is compatible.

How to reduce sander vibrations?

Make sure the abrasive paper is properly attached and the workpiece is stable. Wear anti-vibration gloves and take regular breaks.

Where to find spare parts?

Spare parts (pad, carbon brushes, switch) are available from authorized Einhell dealers or on the brand's website.

3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a prolonged period or is not properly guided and maintained.

5. Before starting the equipment

Warning!

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

Be sure to read the following information before you put the cordless equipment into operation:

- Charge the battery pack with the charger. An empty battery pack requires a charging period of approximately 0.5 to 1 hour.

5.1 Fitting the dust collection box (Fig. 2-3/Item 4)

- Plug the dust collection box (4) onto the vacuum cleaner connector (a).

- The dust is extracted directly into the dust collection box through the abrasive paper and the oscillating plate (5).

- To empty the dust collection box, open the box as shown in Fig. 3 and carefully empty it by tapping.

5.2 Installing the dust extractor adapter (Fig. 6/Item 2)

Plug the dust extractor adapter (2) onto the vacuum cleaner connector (a) as shown in Fig. 6. Connect the dust extractor adapter to a suitable dust extraction system.

Caution!

For health reasons it is imperative that you use the dust collection box or a dust extraction system.

5.3 Fastening the abrasive paper with the Velcro fastening system (Fig. 5)

• Only use abrasive paper with the corresponding dimensions and matching perforations.
• Place the abrasive paper onto the oscillating plate (5) as shown in Fig. 5. Make sure that the perforations in the abrasive paper coincide with the oscillating plate.
• To remove the abrasive paper, simply pull it off.

6. Operation

6.1 Charging the Li battery pack (Fig. 4/7)

1. Remove the battery pack (6) from the handle, pressing the pushlock button (8) 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 (7) into the mains socket outlet. The green LED will then begin to flash.
3. Push the battery pack onto the battery charger.

In section 10 (Charger indicator) you will find 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 the Li battery pack provides long service you should take care to recharge it promptly. You must recharge the battery pack when you notice that the power of the cordless equipment drops.

6.2 Switching the equipment On/Off (Fig. 1/Item 1)

• To switch on the equipment, move the switch (1) from "0" to "1".
• To switch off the equipment, move the switch (1) from "1" to "0".

6.3 Battery capacity indicator (Fig. 8/Item 9)

Press the battery capacity indicator switch (a). The battery capacity indicator (9) shows the charge status of the battery using 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 blinks:

The battery is empty, recharge the battery.

All LEDs blink:

The battery pack has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Do not use or charge a defective battery pack.

6.4 Working with the multi sander:

• Place the whole surface area of the sanding disk 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 sanding tests.

Note:

If you use the cordless equipment with our 3.0Ah Power-X-Change, you will be unable to work with the dust collection box (4) on account of the size of the battery pack. In this case please use the dust extraction adapter (2). (See 5.2.)

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!

7. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!

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

7.1 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 attack 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.

7.2 Maintenance
