GE MH 18.0-EC

Battery state of charge

 Press the button to check the state of
charge at the state of charge indicator
LEDs.
The indicator goes out after 5 seconds.
If one of the LEDs flashes, the battery must
be recharged. If none of the LEDs light up
after the button is pressed, the battery is
faulty and must be replaced.
Using a dust extraction system
CAUTION!
When using the wall sander, connect
–
a Class M dust extractor.
If a dust bag is used which is not autho-
–
rised for use with dry construction dust,
the amount of dust particles in the air
may increase at the work place.
Over a prolonged period high concentra-
tions of dust in the air may damage
the human respiratory system.
 Insert the special dust bag for dry con-
struction dust into your dust extractor
according to the instructions supplied
with the dust extractor.
 Connect extraction hose to the dust
extraction system. Follow the operating
instructions for the dust extraction sys-
tem! Check the attachment!
If required, use an appropriate adapter.
NOTE
If your dust extractor requires a special
connector, the clip-on connection can
be removed and a matching adapter selec-
ted from the FLEX accessories range.
