BATTERIES
New battery packs reach full loading capacity after 4 - 5 chargings
and dischargings. Battery packs which have not been used for
some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance
of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine
(risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after used.
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.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE

Change the sanding belt often to maintain the product’s ability to
effectively remove material.

the correct speed. Then lower the belt onto the workpiece. Hold the
product securely in both hands because the movement of the belt
will drive the product forwards.
Choose a belt of the correct size and appropriate roughness for the
task. Use belts with a lower grit number for removing more material,
