GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Fail-
ure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a
separate battery pack must be recharged only with
the specified charger for the battery. A charger that
may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk
of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of fire.
Use battery only with charger listed.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting
the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning
the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and sup-
port the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch
in the locked or off position before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
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 sparks, burns,
or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that may
affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used
on another tool.

operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-
trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not
using your battery tool or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and pos-
sibly injury.
Keep the tool and its handle dry, clean and free from
oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when clean-
ing. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, or any strong solvents to clean your tool. Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of loss of control and
deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
Never use a battery that has been dropped or
received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet
location. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
For best results, your battery tool should be charged
in a location where the temperature is more than
50°F but less than 100°F. Do not store outside or in
vehicles.
Under extreme usage or temperature conditions,
battery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact
with your skin, wash immediately with soap and water,
then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar. If liquid
gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water for
at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical at-
tention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also
to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement

SANDING SHEET
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. There-
fore, switch should always be locked when not in use or
carrying at your side.
SANDING SHEET AND PAD SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded
finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic
abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives,
such as flint and garnet, are too soft for economical use in
power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer
grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The
condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which
grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse
grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may
then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and
finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.

WORKPIECE
OPERATING THE SANDER
See Figure 5 - 6.
Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving under
the sander.
WARNING:
Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards the
operator, causing injury.
WARNING:
Keep your head away from the sander and the sanding
area. Your hair could be drawn into the sander causing
serious injury.
Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the sand-
ing sheet surface is in contact with the workpiece.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the motor from overheating, be careful
not to let your hand cover the air vents.
Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the
workpiece.
Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear
of the workpiece. Start sander and let the motor build to its
maximum speed, then gradually lower the sander onto the
workpiece. Move the sander slowly across the workpiece
using small circular motions.
Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, so let the sanding sheet and sander do the work.
Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly
wears sanding sheet and greatly reduces sander speed.
Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible
damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior
work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the fric-
tional heat. Do not allow sanding on one spot too long, as
the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material,
making the surface uneven.
Extendedperiods ofsanding may tend to overheatthe motor.
If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until sanding sheet
comes to a complete stop, then remove it from workpiece.
Remove your hand from vent area, remove sanding sheet,
then with your hand removed from vent area, turn sander
on and run it free without a load to cool motor.
For detail sanding such as corners and crevices, use the tip
of the sanding pad with small back and forth motions.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES
AVERTISSEMENT !
LIRE ET VEILLER À BIEN COMPRENDRE TOUTES LES
INSTRUCTIONS. Le non respect des instructions ci-dessous
peut entraîner un choc électrique, un incendie et des blessures
graves.
CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS
LIEU DE TRAVAIL
Garder le lieu de travail propre et bien éclairé. Les
établis encombrés et les endroits sombres sont propices
aux accidents.
Ne pas utiliser d’outils électriques dans des
atmosphères explosives, par exemple en présence
de liquides, gaz ou poussières inflammables. Les
outils électriques produisent des étincelles risquant
d’enflammer les poussières ou vapeurs.
Garder les badauds, enfants et visiteurs à l’écart
pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique. Les
distractions peuvent causer une perte de contrôle.
SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE
Les batteries d’outils électriques, qu’elles
soient intégrées ou amovibles, ne doivent
être rechargées qu’avec l’appareil spécifié.
Un chargeur approprié pour un type de batterie
peut créer un risque d’incendie s’il est utilisé avec un
autre type de batterie.
Utiliserexclusivement lebloc debatteriespécifiquement
indiqué pour l’outil. L’usage de tout autre bloc peut créer
un risque d’incendie.
Ne recharger les batteries qu’avec l’appareil
indiqué.
SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE
Rester attentif, prêter attention au travail et faire preuve
de bon sens lors de l’utilisation de tout outil électrique.
Ne pas utiliser cet outil en état de fatigue ou sous
l’influence de l’alcool, de drogues ou de médicaments.
Un moment d’inattention pendant l’utilisation d’un outil
électrique peut entraîner des blessures graves.

amples, bijoux et cheveux longs peuvent se prendre dans
les pièces en mouvement.
Éviter les démarrages accidentels. S’assurer que
la gâchette est verrouillée en position d’arrêt avant
d’insérer le bloc de batteries. Le transport d’outils
avec le doigt sur le commutateur ou l’insertion du bloc
de batterie avec le commutateur en position de marche
est une invite aux accidents.
Retirer les outils et clés de réglage avant de mettre
l’outil en marche. Un outil ou une clé laissée sur une
pièce rotative de l’outil peut causer des blessures.
Ne pas travailler hors de portée. Toujours se tenir
bien campé et en équilibre. Une bonne tenue et un bon
équilibre permettent de mieux contrôler l’outil en cas de
situation imprévue.
Utiliser l’équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter une
protection oculaire. Suivant les conditions, le port d’un
masque filtrant, de chaussures de sécurité, d’un casque
ou d’une protection auditive est recommandé.

ou couvrir les cheveux longs. Les vêtements amples,
bijoux et cheveux longs peuvent se prendre dans les
ouïes d’aération.
Ne pas utiliser l’outil sur une échelle ou un support
instable. Une bonne tenue et un bon équilibre permettent
de mieux contrôler l’outil en cas de situation imprévue.
UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L’OUTIL
Utiliser des serre-joint ou un autre système approprié
pour maintenir fermement la pièce sur une surface
stable. Une pièce tenue à la main ou contre son corps
est instable et peut causer une perte de contrôle.
Ne pas forcer l’outil. Utiliser l’outil approprié pour le
travail. Un outil approprié exécutera le travail mieux et
de façon moins dangereuse s’il est utilisé dans les limites
prévues.
Ne pas utiliser l’outil si le commutateur ne permet pas
de le mettre en marche ou de l’arrêter. Un outil qui
ne peut pas être contrôlé par son commutateur est
dangereux et doit être réparé.
Déconnecter le bloc de batteries et mettre le
commutateur en position d’arrêt ou de verrouillage
avant d’effectuer des réglages, de changer
d’accessoire ou de remiser l’outil. Ces mesures de
sécurité réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel
de l’outil.
Ranger les outils non utilisés hors de la portée des
enfants et des personnes n’ayant pas reçu des
instructions adéquates. Dans les mains de personnes
n’ayant pas reçu des instructions adéquates, les outils
sont dangereux.
Lorsque le bloc de batteries n’est pas en usage, le
tenir à l’écart d’articles métalliques tels que : Les
attaches trombones, pièces de monnaie, clous, vis et
autres petits objets métalliques risquant d’établir le
contact entre les deux bornes. La mise en court-circuit
des bornes de batteries peut causer des étincelles, des
brûlures ou un incendie.
Entretenir soigneusement les outils. Garder les
outils bien affûtés et propres. Des outils correctement
entretenus et dont les tranchants sont bien affûtés
risquent moins de se bloquer et sont plus faciles à
contrôler.
