WARNING :
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.
Please make sure that the side cover has been closed properly before operating.
Work area safety
1.Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
2.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3.Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
4.Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
5.Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
6.Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
7.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 electric shock.
8.When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable
for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
9.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 personal
injury.
10.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
11.Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
12.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 personal
injury.
13.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
14.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
15.If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
16.Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
17.Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
18.Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
19.Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
2Revision : 2018-08
B-E1BS01-AV-8

21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, 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 hazardous situation.
Service
23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to belt sander safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live”
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
2. Ventilate your work area adequately when you perform
sanding operations.
3. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic.
Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact.
Follow material supplier safety data.
4. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the
material and application you are working with.
5. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Make sure the belt is not contacting the workpiece
before the switch is turned on.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only
when hand-held.
10. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not use
water on the workpiece surface.
WARNING :
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules
stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.

These accessories or attachments are recommended for
use with your AirVANTAGE tool specified in this manual.
The use of any other accessories or attachments might
present a risk of injury to persons. Only use accessory or

Brushless Electric Belt-Sander Overload and Overheat Protections
7
(1) 2-Step Overload Protection
a) The LED indicator will turn from a flashing green light into a flashing red light whenever the PCB detects a
power overload.
b) The tool will stop automatically within approximately 5 seconds to prevent long-term overloading damage.
The LED indicator will flash red until the tool stops.
c) Release the lever and push again to restart the Belt-Sander. The LED indicator will turn from a flashing red
light back into a flashing green light.
(2) Motor Overheat Protection
a) The Belt-Sander detects for 2 temperature points (T1&T2) to initiate the overheat protection system. T2 is the
higher temperature.
b) When the motor temperature rises to T1, the tool speed may drop with heavy sustained usage, but may not
affect the speed with lighter usage. At T1, the LED indicator will flash red 3 times periodically. The Belt-Sander
can resume operation once it has fully cooled down and the LED indicator has turned back to a flashing green
light.
c) If not given an opportunity to cool down when motor temperate has reached T1, the temperature of the motor
will reach T2. The tool will automatically shut down automatically with 3 beeping sounds; the LED indicator will
also flash red 3 times periodically. Wait until the motor has completely cooled down and the LED indicator has
turned back to a flashing green light. During the cooling period, the user will hear 3 beeping sounds when
pressing down the lever. This shows that the tool is still under Overheat Protection mode.
(3) PCB Heat Protection
When the PCB reaches the protection point, the tool will stop automatically with 5 beeping sounds; the LED
indicator will turn into a flashing red light. The LED indicator will keep flashing red until the PCB has fully cooled
down. Once the PCB has fully cooled, it will turn back into a flashing green light. The tool can then resume
operation by pressing the lever again.
