SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The belt sander can be used for sanding wood, plastic, metal, fi ller,
and painted surfaces.
The product is suitable for dry sanding only.
Do not use the product for any other purpose.
RESIDUAL RISK
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still impossible
to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in use and the operator should pay special
attention to avoid the following:
● injury caused by vibration
- Hold the product by designated handles and restrict working
time and exposure.
●hearing injury caused by exposure to noise
- Restrict exposure and wear appropriate hearing protection
●injuries due to flying debris
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, heavy long
trousers, gloves, substantial footwear, and safety glasses, at
all times.
●health hazards caused by breathing toxic dusts
- Wear a mask if necessary.
BATTERIES
Battery packs that have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C reduce the performance of the
battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of
overheating).
The contacts of the chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum lifetime, the battery packs have to be fully charged
after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and
away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by
burning them. MILWAUKEE distributors off er to retrieve old batteries
to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short
circuit risk).
Use only M18 System chargers for charging M18 System battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers, and store them only
in dry rooms. Keep the battery packs and chargers dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load
or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid, wash
it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse
thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical
attention.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the
charger (short circuit risk).
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and
product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the product,
battery pack, or charger in fl uid or allow fl uid to fl ow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fl uids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can
cause a short circuit.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations
that cause high current draw, the product vibrates for about 5
seconds, the fuel gauge fl ashes, and then the product turns off . To
reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the
battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge
fl ashes until the battery pack cools down. After the lights go off,
continue working.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Lithium-ion batteries are subject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation
requirements.
Transportation of those batteries has to be done in accordance with
local, national, and international provisions and regulations.
• Batteries can be transported by road without further requirements.
• Commercial transport of lithium-ion batteries by third parties is
subject to Dangerous Goods Regulations. Transport preparation
and transport are exclusively to be carried out by appropriately
trained persons and the process has to be accompanied by
corresponding experts.
When transporting batteries:
• Ensure that the battery contact terminals are protected and
insulated to prevent short circuit.
• Ensure that the battery pack is secured against movement within
the packaging.
• Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking.
• Check with the forwarding company for further advice.
WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
The stock removal rate during sanding and the surface finish are
essentially determined by the choice of the sanding belt and the
preselected belt speed. The higher the belt speed, the higher the
stock removal and the finer the sanding surface.
Only flawless abrasive belts produce good sanding performance and
protect the power tool. If possible, work with a low contact pressure
to increase the service life of the sanding belts. The dead weight of
the power tool is sufficient for good sanding performance. Excessive
increase of the contact pressure does not result in higher sanding
performance, but in greater wear of the power tool and the sanding
belt.
Place the power tool, turned on, on the surface to be machined.
Work at a moderate feed rate and carry out the sanding process
parallel and overlapping to the sanding paths. Sand in the direction
of the grain, crosswise sanding tracks result in disturbing sanding
effects.
Particularly when sanding off paint residues, these may melt and
smear the material surface and the sanding belt. Therefore, work
with dust extraction.
A sanding belt with which metal has already been processed should
not be used for other materials.
Store abrasive belts in a hanging position only and do not bend
them, otherwise they will become unusable.
SELF-SUCTION WITH A DUST BAG.
For smaller jobs you can connect a dust bag.
