Assembly
 Before any work on the machine (e. g. maintenance,
changing the tool, etc.) as well as during its transport
and storage, lock the On/Off switch in the off position.
There is danger of injury when the On/Off switch is unin-
tentionally actuated.
Battery Charging
 Use only the battery chargers listed on the accessories
page. Only these battery chargers are matched to the lith-
ium ion battery of your power tool.
Note: The battery is supplied partially charged. To ensure full
capacity of the battery, completely charge the battery in the
battery charger before using your power tool for the first time.
The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure
does not damage the battery.
The lithium ion battery is protected against deep discharging
by the "Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)". When the battery is
empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective
circuit: The inserted tool no longer rotates.
 Do not continue to press the On/Off switch after the
machine has been automatically switched off. The bat-
tery can be damaged.
To remove the battery 10, press the unlocking button 11 and
pull the battery sideways out of the power tool. Do not exert
any force.
Observe the notes for disposal.
Replacing the Sanding Sheet
When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove any dust or de-
bris from the sanding plate 3 (e. g. with a brush).
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in
the sanding plate.

it there.
 Place the sanding paper taut around the sanding plate 3.
Clamp the front part of the sanding sheet under the front
clamping bracket 6. Ensure that the sanding sheet 5 is
not too short and that it is correctly clamped. Swivel the
sanding-sheet clamp 4 back into the starting position

Sanding sheets without holes, e. g. from rolls or by the meter,
can be punctured with the perforating tool 17. For this, push
the power tool with the sanding sheet mounted onto the per-
forating tool (see figure F).
To remove the sanding sheet 5, unlock both sanding-sheet
clamps 4 and pull the sanding sheet out of its holder.
Selecting the Sanding Sheet
Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate
of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:
For the working of all wooden
materials
For coarse-sanding, e. g. of rough,
unplaned beams and boards
For face sanding and planing small
irregularities
For finish and fine sanding of wood
For the working of paint/enamel
coats or primers and fillers
For sanding off paint
For sanding primer
For final sanding of primers before
coating
For reworking or polishing, especially of metal and stone, use
fleece/polishing cloth pad.
Depending on the desired surface quality of the workpiece,
different fleece types or polishing cloth pads are to be used.
