Important safety information
WARNING!
Before using the power tool, please read the following and act accordingly :
– these operating instructions,
- the "General safety instructions" on the handling of power tools in the enclosed booklet (leaflet-no.: 315915),
– the currently valid site rules and the regulations for the prevention of accidents.
This power tool is state of the art and has been constructed in accordance with the acknowledged safety regulations.
Nevertheless, when in use, the power tool may pose a danger to life and limb of the user or a third party, or the power tool or other property may be damaged.
The power tool may be operated only
- for its intended use
- in perfect working order.
Faults which impair safety must be repaired immediately.
Intended use
The cordless orbital sander is intended
– for commercial use in industry and trade,
– for sanding wood, plastic, paint, filler and similar materials using the dry sanding process,
- for use with Velcro sanding sheet and accessories which are indicated in these instructions or which are recommended by the manufacturer.
Safety instructions for orbital sander
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.
■ Attention Risk of fire! Avoid overheating the material to be ground and the grinder. Always empty the dust container before taking breaks from work. Grinding dust in the dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or filter of the dust extractor) may self-ignite under unfavourable conditions, e.g. caused by flying sparks when grinding metals. It is particularly hazardous if the grinding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue or other chemical substances and if the material is ground for a long time until hot.
- Dust released from materials, such as lead paints, some types of wood, minerals and metal, may be hazardous to the operator or people in the vicinity.
Inhaling or touching these dusts may result in respiratory diseases and/or allergic reactions.
- Ensure the work place is well ventilated!
- If possible, use external dust extraction.
- It is recommended to wear a respirator mask belonging to filter class P2.
Noise and vibration
The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841. The A-weighted noise level of the power tool is typically:
– Sound pressure level L_pA : 80 dB(A)
- Sound power level L_WA : 88 dB(A)
- Uncertainty: K = 3 dB
Total vibration value:
- Emission value a_h : 3.35 m/s
– Uncertainty: K = 1.5 m/s

CAUTION!
The specified measured values apply to new power tools. Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.

NOTE
The vibration emission level stated in these instructions has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It can also be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poor maintenance, the vibration emission
level may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
To make an accurate estimation of the vibration exposure level, it is also necessary to take into account the times when the tool is switched off or running but not actually in use. This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: Maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

CAUTION!
Wear ear defenders at a sound pressure over 85 dB(A)

Operating instructions

WARNING!
Remove the battery before carrying out any work on the power tool.
Before switching on the power tool
Unpack the cordless orbital sander and check that here are no missing or damaged parts.

NOTE
The battery is not fully charged on delivery. Prior to initial operation, charge the battery fully. Refer to the charger operating manual.
Tips for a long battery service life

CAUTION!
- Never charge batteries at temperatures below 0 °C or above 40 °C.
- Do not charge batteries in environments with high air humidity or ambient temperature.
- Do not cover batteries and the charger during the charging process.
- Pull out the charger mains plug at the end of the charging process.
Battery and charger heat up during the charging process. This is perfectly normal!

NOTE
Follow the instructions for correct battery charging in the operating instructions for the battery.
If batteries are not used for an extended period of time, store them partially charged in a cool place.
Inserting/replacing the battery
■ Press the charged battery into the power tool until it clicks into place (see figure B).
■ To remove, press the release button(1.) and pull out the battery (2.) (see figure C).

CAUTION!
When the device is not in use, protect the battery contacts. Loose metal parts may short circuit the contacts; explosion and fire hazard!
Attaching/changing the sanding sheet
The sanding plate (4) has Velcro fasteners and is therefore designed exclusively for use with Velcro sanding sheet (see figure D).
■ Remove the battery.
■ Remove used sanding sheet.
■ Remove any coarse debris from the sanding plate (4).
■ Attach new sanding sheet. Align the holes in the sanding sheet with the holes in the sanding plate (4).
■ Attach the sanding sheet by gently pressing it against the Velcro fasteners on the sanding plate (4).
Changing the sanding plate
If the sanding plate (4) has worn out, it can be replaced (see figure E).
■ Remove the battery.
■ Undo the eight screws.
■ Remove the sanding plate (4) by pulling it downwards.
■ Attach a new sanding plate.
■ Tighten the eight screws back.
NOTE: When removing and installing the screws, the sanding plate needs to be held down so that it does not rotate when the screws are screwed in.
Attaching /removing extraction dust bag and dust extraction adapter

WARNING!
When using the sander, you must use a dust extraction bag or an external dust extraction.

WARNING!
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dust can easily ignite.
■ Align the triangle on the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7) with the triangle on the dust extraction outlet.
■ Press the buckles (9) on both sides of the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7) and push the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7) onto the dust extraction outlet (5) all the way until the buckles (9) on the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7) snap into the groove of the dust extraction outlet (5) (see figure F).
■ To remove the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7), press the buckles (9) on both sides of the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7) and remove it.
■ A dust extraction hose can be connected to the short or long dust extraction adapter.
NOTE: Because the size of the battery will interfere with the dust extraction adapter, when using a short dust extraction adapter (6), only use 2.5Ah battery and using a long dust extraction adapter (7), use 2.5Ah or 5.0Ah battery. The sander is not suitable for the 8.0Ah battery.
Setting the speed (see figure G)
There are four speed levels that can be changed using the speed setting buttons (3).
Press the "+" button to increase the speed. Press "-" button to decrease the speed. The LED lights above the numbers indicate the current speed level.
The speed level can be set when the tool is already in operation.
After you turn the tool off, the memory function will remember and revert to the last active speed level the next time the tool is turned on.
The approximate OPM (oscillations per minute) are:
| Speed level /min(OPM) | |
| 1 6000 | |
| 2 7500 | |
| 3 8000 | |
| 4 10000 | |
Switching on and off
Switch power tool on or off by pressing on/off switch (2) (see figure H).

CAUTION!
Following a power failure, the switched-on power tool will not start running again.
Operating instructions

WARNING!
When the power tool is switched off, the grinding tool continues running briefly.
■ Switch on the sander and place the whole sanding sheet on the surface to be processed.
■ Applying moderate pressure, move the sander evenly over the workpiece.
■ The sanding result is determined primarily by the selection of the correct sanding sheet, the selected number of oscillations and the contact pressure.
■ Replace sanding sheets in good time.
■ An excessive increase in the contact pressure will not increase the grinding performance, but will increase the wear on the electric power tool and the sanding tool.
