Electrical safety  
Vibration  
1.  
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.  
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-  
mined according to EN60745-2-3:  
Work mode: disc sanding  
Vibration emission (ah, DS) : 2.5 m/s2 or less  
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2  
2.  
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded  
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-  
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.  
Work mode: polishing  
Vibration emission (ah, P) : 2.5 m/s2 or less  
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2  
3.  
4.  
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-  
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase  
the risk of electric shock.  
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) has been  
measured in accordance with a standard test method  
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.  
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.  
NOTE: The declared vibration total value(s) may also  
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.  
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual  
use of the power tool can differ from the declared val-  
ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used  
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.  
5.  
6.  
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an  
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord  
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.  
If operating a power tool in a damp location  
is unavoidable, use a residual current device  
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces  
the risk of electric shock.  
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures  
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-  
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (tak-  
ing account of all parts of the operating cycle such  
as the times when the tool is switched off and when  
it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).  
7.  
Power tools can produce electromagnetic fields  
(EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However,  
users of pacemakers and other similar medical  
devices should contact the maker of their device and/  
or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.  
WARNING: The declared vibration emission  
value is used for main applications of the power tool.  
However if the power tool is used for other applica-  
tions, the vibration emission value may be different.  
Personal safety  
1.  
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 med-  
ication. A moment of inattention while operating  
power tools may result in serious personal injury.  
EC Declaration of Conformity  
For European countries only  
The EC declaration of conformity is included as Annex A  
to this instruction manual.  
2.  
3.  
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye  
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,  
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used  
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the  
switch is in the off-position before connecting  
to power source and/or battery pack, picking  
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with  
your finger on the switch or energising power tools  
that have the switch on invites accidents.

from injury when using power tools. The goggles  
must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in the USA, EN 166 in  
Europe, or AS/NZS 1336 in Australia/New Zealand. In  
Australia/New Zealand, it is legally required to wear  
a face shield to protect your face, too.  
Battery tool use and care  
1.  
Recharge only with the charger specified by  
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for  
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire  
when used with another battery pack.  
2.  
3.  
Use power tools only with specifically desig-  
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery  
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.  
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 termi-  
nals together may cause burns or a fire.  
4.  
5.  
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected  
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-  
dentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts  
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected  
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.  
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-  
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries  
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in  
fire, explosion or risk of injury.  
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce  
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-  
ments by the tool operators and by other per-  
sons in the immediate working area.  
6.  
7.  
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or  
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or tem-  
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.  
Power tool use and care  
1.  
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.  
Follow all charging instructions and do not  
charge the battery pack or tool outside the  
temperature range specified in the instruc-  
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures  
outside the specified range may damage the  
battery and increase the risk of fire.  
2.  
3.  
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.  
Service  
Disconnect the plug from the power source  
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,  
from the power tool before making any adjust-  
ments, changing accessories, or storing power  
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce  
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.  
1.  
2.  
3.  
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.  
Never service damaged battery packs. Service  
of battery packs should only be performed by the  
manufacturer or authorized service providers.  
4.  
5.  
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.

ing accessories.  
Cordless sander polisher safety warnings  
Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for  
misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-  
age of parts and any other condition that may  
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have  
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents  
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.  
Safety Warnings Common for Sanding or Polishing  
Operations:  
1.  
This power tool is intended to function as a sander  
or polisher. Read all safety warnings, instructions,  
illustrations and specifications provided with this  
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below  
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.  
6.  
7.  
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges  
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
2.  
Operations such as grinding, wire brushing  
or cutting-off are not recommended to be  
performed with this power tool. Operations for  
which the power tool was not designed may create  
a hazard and cause personal injury.  
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.  
3.  
4.  
Do not use accessories which are not specifically  
designed and recommended by the tool manufac-  
turer. Just because the accessory can be attached to  
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.  
8.  
9.  
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 situations.  
The rated speed of the accessory must be at  
least equal to the maximum speed marked on  
the power tool. Accessories running faster than  
their rated speed can break and fly apart.  
When using the tool, do not wear cloth work  
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-  
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may  
result in personal injury.  
4
ENGLISH  
5.  
6.  
The outside diameter and the thickness of your  
accessory must be within the capacity rating  
of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories  
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.  
Kickback and Related Warnings  
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged  
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other acces-  
sory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the  
rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-  
trolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite  
of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.  
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or  
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is  
entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of  
the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out.  
The wheel may either jump toward or away from the  
operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s move-  
ment at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also  
break under these conditions.  
Threaded mounting of accessories must  
match the spindle thread of the tool. For  
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour  
hole of the accessory must fit the locating  
diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not  
match the mounting hardware of the power tool  
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and  
may cause loss of control.  
7.  
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each  
use inspect the accessory such as backing  
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. If power  
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for  
damage or install an undamaged accessory.  
After inspecting and installing an accessory,  
position yourself and bystanders away from  
the plane of the rotating accessory and run the  
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one  
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break  
apart during this test time.  
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or  
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be  
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.  
1.  
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and  
position your body and arm to allow you to  
resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary  
handle, if provided, for maximum control over  
kickback or torque reaction during start-up.  
The operator can control torque reactions or kick-  
back forces, if proper precautions are taken.  
8.  
Wear personal protective equipment.  
Depending on application, use face shield,  
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-  
priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,  
gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-  
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.  
The eye protection must be capable of stopping  
flying debris generated by various operations.  
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of  
filtrating particles generated by your operation.  
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may  
cause hearing loss.  
2.  
3.  
Never place your hand near the rotating acces-  
sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.  
Do not position your body in the area where  
power tool will move if kickback occurs.  
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite  
to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.  
4.  
5.  
Use special care when working corners, sharp  
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the  
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing  
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory  
and cause loss of control or kickback.  
9.  
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from  
work area. Anyone entering the work area  
must wear personal protective equipment.  
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory  
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate  
area of operation.  
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade  
or toothed saw blade. Such blades create fre-  
quent kickback and loss of control.  
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:  
1.  
Do not use excessively oversized sanding  
disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommen-  
dations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger  
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding  
pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause  
snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.  
10. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping  
surfaces only, when performing an operation  
where the cutting tool may contact hidden  
wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will also make  
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and  
could give the operator an electric shock.  
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:  
11. Never lay the power tool down until the acces-  
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning  
accessory may grab the surface and pull the  
power tool out of your control.  
1.  
Do not allow any loose portion of the polish-  
ing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin  
freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attach-  
ment strings. Loose and spinning attachment  
strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the  
workpiece.  
12. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at  
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning  
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the  
accessory into your body.  
Additional Safety Warnings:  
13. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The  
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing  
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal  
may cause electrical hazards.  
1.  
Make sure the wheel is not contacting the  
workpiece before the switch is turned on.  
2.  
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,  
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or  
wobbling that could indicate poor installation  
or a poorly balanced wheel.  
14. Do not operate the power tool near flammable  
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.  
15. Do not use accessories that require liquid  
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants  
may result in electrocution or shock.  
3.  
4.  
Use the specified surface of the wheel to per-  
form the sanding or polishing.  
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool  
only when hand-held.
