MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Keep ventilation slots of the sander clean at all times to ensure efficient operation.
• After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all dust, dirt, etc. Build
up of dust, dirt particles may cause the tool to overheat and shorten the life of the tool.
• If the housing of the sander requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth or soft
brush only.
• Never let any liquid get inside the tool, never immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
• No lubrication is necessary as the tool has sealed bearings.
• When not in use, the sander should be stored in a dry, frost free location not within the reach of
children.
WARNING!
ALWAYS ENSURE THE TOOL HAS
COMPLETELY STOPPED AND THE BATTERY IS
REMOVED PRIOR TO ANY MAINTENANCE.
Battery protection system
The tool is equipped with the battery protection system, which helps to ensure a long service
life.
The output power automatically cuts off during operation when the tool and/or battery are
placed under the following situations:
• When the tool is overloaded:
If this occurs, release the trigger switch and remove causes of overload, then pull the
switch trigger again to restart.
• When the remaining battery capacity becomes low:
Recharge the battery pack.
Note:
The battery protection system does not in any way damage the tool.
Note:
The indicated capacity may be lower than the actual level during use or immediately
after using the tool.
LED lights do not illuminate on charger
Check the charging adaptor is securely plugged into the wall out let.
Check the battery is firmly connected to the charging cradle.
Check that the charging jack is securely connected to the charging cradle.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem.
Sandpaper Selection
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an important step in achieving
optimum results. Coarse grit will remove the most material. Finer grit will
produce a smoother finish. The condition of the workpiece will determine the
grit of the sandpaper to be used. The higher the grit number, the finer the
grade of sandpaper.
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. Finer grit is then used to finish the
surface. Always continue sanding with each grade of sandpaper until the surface is uniform.

Note
: If intermediate sanding is required, choose a grit rating between coarse and fine. The above
table is intended as a guide only. To ensure a satisfactory result, a small, inconspicuous area should
first be tested to ensure the grit of sandpaper chosen is suitable for the desired finish.
