The vibration and/or noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in

62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration and/or noise

emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or is poorly maintained, the vibration and/or noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total workingperiod. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and/or 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 workingperiod. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm (relevant for vibration), organisation of workpatterns.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained powertools. f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol. g ) 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 hazardoussituation. h ) 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 unexpectedsituations.

5) Battery Tool Use and Care

a ) 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 batterypack. b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury andfire. c ) 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 afire. d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns. e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk ofinjury. refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed orgrounded. c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock. d ) 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 electricshock. e ) 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 electricshock. f ) 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 electricshock.

a ) 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 personalinjury. b ) 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 personalinjuries. c ) 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 invitesaccidents. d ) 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 personalinjury. e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpectedsituations. f ) 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 movingparts. g ) 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-relatedhazards. h ) 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 asecond.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting

into the charger, making sure the battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging) light will blink repeatedly, indicating that the charging process hasstarted.

3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red

light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger. To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the battery release button

on the batterypack. NOTE: To ensure maximum performance and life of lithium-ion battery packs, charge the battery pack fully before firstuse. Charger Operation Refer to the indicators below for the charge status of the batterypack. Charge Indicators

Hot/Cold Pack Delay*

• The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will turn off and the charger will resume the chargingprocedure. The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing tolight. NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger. If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre. Hot/Cold Pack Delay When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery packlife. A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the battery packwarms. The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan designed to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on automatically when the battery pack needs to be cooled. Never operate the charger if the fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots are blocked. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior of thecharger. Electronic Protection System XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection System that will protect the battery pack against overloading, overheating or deepdischarge. The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery pack in the charger until it is fullycharged. Wall Mounting These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 25.4mm long with a screw head diameter of 7–9mm, screwed into wood to an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5mm of the screw exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.32 ENGLISH Charger Cleaning Instructions

inplace. To Empty the Dust Bag nOTE: Be sure to wear approved eye protection and approved dust mask when performing thisprocedure. For efficient dust extraction, empty the dust collector when it is about one thirdfull.

1. While holding the sander, turn the collar

anticlockwise to unlock the dust bag

2. Remove dust bag from the sander and gently shake or tap

the dust bag toempty.

3. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port and lock into

place by turning the dust bag collarclockwise. You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the bag. This will not affect sanding performance but will reduce the sander’s dust collection efficiency. To restore your sander’s dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of the waste bin or dustreceptacle.

CAUTION: Never operate this sander unless a dust collector is in place. Sanding dust exhaust may create a breathinghazard. Operating the Sander (Fig. I) NOTICE: These sanders are not to be used in drywallapplications. NOTICE: Avoid overloading your sander. Overloading will result in a considerable reduction in speed and finish Wireless Tool Control (Fig. A)

CAUTION: Read all saftey warnings, instruction and specifications of the appliance which is paired with thesander. Your sander is equipped with a Wireless Tool Control transmitter which allows your sander to be wirelessly paired with another Wireless Tool Control device, such as a dustextractor.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/ installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury. Speed Control Dial (Fig. A) The speed control dial

, shown in FigureA, allows you to increase or decrease speed from 8000–13500 Orbits Per Minute. The optimal speed setting for each application is very much dependent on personal preference. Generally, you will want to use a higher setting on harder materials and a lower setting on softer materials. Material removal rate increases as speedincreases. Switch (Fig. A) To turn the unit on, depress the side of the dust-protected switch

that corresponds to the symbol “I”. To turn the tool off, depress the side of the switch that corresponds to the symbol“O”. Paper Punch (Fig. H1, H2)

CAUTION: Turn off and remove the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the switch is in the OFFposition. A paper punch

is provided with your sander to let you perforate regular abrasive paper to make dust collectionpossible. To Perforate your Abrasive Paper Install the abrasive paper on the tool as instructed in this manual. With the sander turned off and battery removed, place the paper punch on the paper so that the tabs at the edges of the punch are against any two adjacent sides of the sanding pad, as shown. Press the punch against the pad so that the 8points penetrate the paper, as shown in Fig. H1. (Press the punch into the pad as far as it will go.) Remove the paper punch and the paper is ready. An alternate method of perforating the paper is to securely fasten the punch to a suitable work surface. Two holes are provided in the punch for this purpose. Use #8flat head screws. Press the sander (with the paper attached) down on thepunch.36 EnGLIsH Included with the unit is a dust port which fits batteries 5Ah andunder.

- All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changedfrequently. - Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate workarea. - All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly before being usedagain. quality of your work. The unit may also become hot. In this event, run sander at a no load condition for a minute ortwo. To operate your sander, grasp it as shown in Fig.I and turn it on. Move the sander in long, sweeping strokes along the surface being sanded, letting the sander do thework. Pushing down on the tool while sanding actually slows the removal rate and produces an inferior quality surface. Be sure to check your work often, this sander is capable of removing material rapidly, especially with coarsepaper. The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the grain or at any angle across it for most sanding jobs. To produce the best finish possible, start with coarse grit sandpaper and change gradually to finer and finer paper. Vacuum and wipe surface with a tack cloth between grit steps. Your sander is designed to sand into small or confined areas. Its small size and light weight make it ideal for overheadwork. The rate at which the dust collection bag fills up will vary with the type of material being sanded and the coarseness of the sandpaper. For best results, empty the bag frequently. When sanding painted surfaces, (see the following for additional precautions when sanding paint) you may find that the sandpaper loads up and clogs with paint. A heat gun will work much better to remove paint before sanding. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN HEAT GUN INSTRUCTIONMANUAL. Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnantwomen. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:

- No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up iscompleted. - A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. See your local hardware store for the proper EN 149- AS/NZS 1716-approved dustmask. - NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle onthem.

2. EnVIROnMEnTaL saFETY

- Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dustgenerated. - Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4milsthickness. - Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the workarea.37 EnGLIsH Protecting the Environment
