The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values were measured in ac- cordance with a set of standardized criteria and can be used to compare one power tool with another. The stated vibration emission levels and stated noise emission values can also be used to make an initial assessment of exposure.

The vibration and noise emission levels may vary from the level specifi ed during actual use, depen- ding on the way in which the power tool is used, especially the type of workpiece it is used for. Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect wor- king order.

Service and clean the appliance regularly.

Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.

Do not overload the appliance.

Have the appliance serviced whenever ne- cessary.

Switch the appliance off when it is not in use. Limit the operating time! All stages of the operating cycle must be conside- red (for example, times in which the electric tools are switched off and times in which the tool is switched on but operates without load). Caution! Residual risks Even if you use this electric power tool in accordance with instructions, certain resi- dual risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards may arise in connection with the equipment’s construction and layout:

3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vib-

rations if the equipment is used over a pro- longed 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.

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 va- cuum 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 sys- tem.

5.3 Fastening the abrasive paper with the

Only use abrasive paper with the correspon- ding 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 coinci- de with the oscillating plate.

To remove the abrasive paper, simply pull it off.

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 fl ash.

3. Push the battery pack onto the battery char-

ger. 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 fi res. To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser- vice, 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 di- scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

6.2 Switching the equipment On/Off

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 (b). The battery capacity indicator (9) shows the char- ge 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 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 tem- perature for one day. If the fault reoccurs, this me- ans that the rechargeable battery has undergone exhaustive discharge and is defective. Remove the battery from the equipment. Never use or charge a defective battery.

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 gent- le pressure over the workpiece, making circu- lar 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. 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.

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. Ensu- re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

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

Indicator status Explanations and actions Red LED Green LED Off Flashing Ready for use The charger is connected to the mains and is ready for use; there is no battery pack in the charger On Off Charging The charger is charging the battery pack in quick charge mode. The char- ging times are shown directly on the charger. Important! The actual charging times may vary slightly from the stated charging times depending on the existing battery charge. Off On The battery is charged and ready for use. (READY TO GO) The unit then changes over to gentle charging mode until the battery is fully charged. To do this, leave the rechargeable battery on the charger for approx. 15 minutes longer. Action: Take the battery pack out of the charger. Disconnect the charger from the mains supply. Flashing Off Adapted charging The charger is in gentle charging mode. For safety reasons the charging is performed less quickly and takes more time. The reasons can be: - The rechargeable battery has not been used for a very long time. - The battery temperature is outside the ideal range. Action: Wait for the charging to be completed; you can still continue to charge the battery pack. Flashing Flashing Fault Charging is no longer possible. The battery pack is defective. Action: Never charge a defective battery pack. Take the battery pack out of the charger. On On Temperature fault The battery pack is too hot (e.g. due to direct sunshine) or too cold (below 0° C). Action: Remove the battery pack and keep it at room temperature (approx. 20° C) for one day . Anl_TC_MFS_18_Li_SPK7.indb 19Anl_TC_MFS_18_Li_SPK7.indb 19 14.06.2023 08:52:2714.06.2023 08:52:27GB
