these instructions to operate the power tool. Power 
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less 
likely to bind and are easier to control.
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 hazardous situation.
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 unexpected 
situasions.
5. Battery tool use and care 
a.  Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the 
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of 
battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with 
another battery pack.
b.  Use power tools only with specifi cally designated 
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create 
a risk of injury and fi re. 
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 a fi re.
d.  Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally 
occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, 
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the 
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e. Maintain powertools and accessories. 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.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less 
likely to bind and are easier to control.
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 hazardous situation.
6. service
a.  Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair 
person using only identical replacement parts. This 
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional power tool safety warnings 
 
@Warning! Additional safety warnings for sanders 
 
@Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts 
arising from sanding applications may endanger 
the health of the operator and possible bystand-
ers. Wear a dust mask specifi cally designed for 
protection against dust and fumes and ensure 
that persons within or entering the work area are 
also protected.
uHold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when 
performing an operation where the sanding accessory 
may contact hidden wiring. Accessory contacting a "live" 
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool 
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock. 
uUse clamps or another practical way to secure and 
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the 
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and 
may lead to loss of control.
@ Warning! Take special care when sanding some 
woods (e.g. beech, oak) and metal which may 
produce toxic dust. Wear a dust mask specifi -
cally designed for protection against toxic dust 
and fumes and ensure that persons within or 
entering the work area are also protected. 
@ Warning! Use this tool in a well ventilated area 
when sanding ferrous metals. Do not operate 
the tool near fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. 
Sparks or hot particles from sanding or arcing 
motor brushes may ignite combustible materials. 
 
@Warning! Do not sand magnesium! There is a
risk of fi re or explosions.  
uThoroughly remove all dust after sanding.
uThe intended use is described in this instruction manual. 
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance 
of any operation with this tool other than those recom-
mended in this instruction manual may present a risk of 
personal injury and/or damage to property.

Charging the battery (Not supplied) (fi g. A)
 
The battery needs to be charged before fi rst use and 
whenever it fails to produce suffi cient power on jobs that were 
easily done before. The battery may become warm while 
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem. 
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures 
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging tem-
perature: approx. 24 °C. 
 
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell 
temperature is below approximately 0 °C or above 40 °C. 
 
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger 
will begin to charge automatically when the cell tempera-
ture warms up or cools down. 
uTo charge the battery, insert the USB charger (5) into the 
Battery.
