Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries,
etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and
batteries that have not been used for an extended period
is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when
using them the
fi
rst and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging
will be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If
you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and
the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and
recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
○
If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject to
direct sunlight or because the battery has just been
used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights
for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (o
ff
for
0.3 seconds). In such a case,
fi
rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○
When the charge indicator lamp
fl
ickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in
the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service
Center.

*1 Removing and inserting the battery
CAUTION
Before installing or removing the battery, turn the switch
to the OFF position.
If the battery is inserted with the switch in the ON
position, the motor will operate unexpectedly.
*2 Installing the sanding belt
Align the arrow on the inside of the sanding belt with the
direction of the mark on the tool and install it.
CAUTION
○
Use only sanding belt size speci
fi
ed on the product
nameplate.
○
Sanding belt installed in the wrong direction will lower
work e
ffi
ciency and shorten life of sanding belt.
○
Avoid pinching your
fi
ngers when opening and closing
the lever.
NOTE
○
The drive pulley and idle pulley will be hot after use.
○
Use an air blow gun or similar device to remove any
debris from around the pulleys with the sanding belt
removed.
*3 How to use the dust bag
WARNING
Clean the dust bag before and after sanding metal, and
remove any sanding dust from inside. Metal sanding
dust can cause
fi
res.
*4 How to use the elbow
Adjust the angle of the elbow so that the dust is
discharged away from your body.
*5 About the mode change function
The unit has “Transmission mode” and “Auto mode”.
○
With Transmission mode, the belt sander's number of
revolutions can be set at one of
fi
ve stages.
When operating in Transmission mode, the set number
of revolutions will be maintained regardless of changes
in load.
○
With Auto mode, you can lower noise and vibration by
lowering the maximum number of revolutions while in a
no-load state.
While in Auto mode, the number of revolutions will be
raised if the load becomes greater during operation.
On the other hand, the number of revolutions will be
lowered if the load decreases during operation. (
Table 3
)
○
Set the mode and dial according to work application.
