Unpacking Your Tool
•
Carefully unpack and inspect your new sander. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions
•
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged,
have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Removing a battery
•
To remove the Battery (12) from the drill, press the Battery Release (13), then slide the Battery off the
Hand Grip (9)
WARNING: DO NOT try to remove the Battery without pressing the Battery Release button. The drill or Battery
could be damaged.
Fitting a battery
1. To fit a charged battery, slide it on to the Hand Grip (9) of the drill until it clicks and locks into position
Note: Make sure the Battery and drill are lined up correctly. If the Battery does not slide into the drill easily,
don't force it. Instead, slide the Battery out of the drill again, check the top of Battery and the drill battery slot
are clean and undamaged and that the contacts are not bent.
Setting up the battery charger
1. If fitted, remove any battery from the Battery Charger (17)
2. Insert the Battery Charger mains plug into a suitable mains socket
Note: The Green LED (15) on the Battery Charger will blink to indicate that the Battery Charger is ready to
charge the battery.
WARNING: ONLY use this charger to charge the supplied battery or additional purchased batteries that are
specifically designed for this tool.
WARNING: The charger is designed for indoor use only, and MUST NOT be used in damp or wet
conditions.
Charging the battery
WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging batteries will result in permanent damage.
Note: Normal charging time is 1 hour for a recently discharged battery. However, if the Battery (12) has been
left in a discharged state for some time, it may take up to 1.5 hours to charge.
1. Slide a fully or partially discharged Battery onto the Battery Charger (17)
Note: Make sure the Battery and Battery Charger are lined up correctly. If the Battery does not slide onto the
Battery Charger easily, don't force it. Instead, remove the Battery, check the top of Battery and the Battery
Charger slot are clean and undamaged and that the contacts are not bent.
2. Once charging commences, the Red LED (16) will illuminate
3. When the Battery is fully charged, the Green LED (15) will be illuminated
Battery Charge Level: The battery has a built-in Charge Indicator (11), (Fig. I). Pressing on the button to the
right will indicate the charge level. The right LED indicates a high charge level and the left a low charge level
that will mean the battery pack will require charging soon.
IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated be aware the tool may stop operating while using the tool.
In some instances this may be dangerous. It is recommended to always ensure the battery pack has a good
charge level.
Notes about battery charging:
•
The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10 and 40°C (ideally around 20°C)
•
After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use
•
Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after use, and is stored correctly
•
DO NOT leave batteries on charge for extended periods and NEVER store batteries on charge
•
The Battery Charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. Remove the Battery once
charging has been completed to maximise charge cycles of the battery and not waste power
•
Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can fail and the battery could short.
The charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another battery, if possible, to check correct functionality
of the charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty battery is indicated
•
DO NOT store Lithium-Ion battery packs in a discharged state long term. This can damage the Lithium-Ion
cells. For long-term storage, store batteries in a high charge state disconnected from the power tool
•
The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the battery's operation time
and the maximum torque performance of the drill will slightly reduce. This decline will continue until the
battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles. This is normal and not a fault with the battery pack
Fitting drill bits and accessories
WARNING: ALWAYS remove the Battery from the drill before attaching, adjusting or removing accessories.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the
chuck and switching the tool on. This can lead to personal injury and can cause damage to the chuck.
WARNING: NEVER fit any accessory or bit with a maximum speed lower than the no load speed of the
power tool.
1. Open the Chuck Jaws (1) by rotating the Chuck Collar (2) anti-clockwise
2. Place the drill bit or accessory centrally into the chuck
3. Tighten the Chuck Jaws by rotating the Chuck Collar clockwise
4. When the drill bit or accessory is securely fastened, carefully run the machine to test that it is running
centrally, smoothly and evenly. If the bit is 'wobbling' or not running centrally, release the chuck, check
the accessory for damage, correct its position, retighten and test again
Operation
Direction control
WARNING: NEVER change the direction of rotation while the tool is running. This may cause permanent
damage to the tool.
•
The direction of rotation can be set using the Forward/Reverse Switch (7)
•
For anti-clockwise rotation, push the switch to the right
•
For clockwise rotation, push the switch to the left
Note: When the Forward/Reverse Switch is in the central position, the drill is locked and cannot be switched
on. Use this setting as a safety feature to prevent the drill from being switched on accidentally.
