CAUTION
● To extend the lifetime, the tool and the lithium-
ion battery are equipped with a protection
function to stop the output. Therefore, if the tool
is overloaded, the motor may stop. However, this
is not the trouble but the result of protection
function. In this case, release the switch of tool
and eliminate the causes of overloading.
Additionally, refer to "CAUTION ON LITHIUM-ION
BATTERY". If it still does not run, request repairs
from a metabo HPT authorized service center.
WARNING
Never apply water or grinding fl uid when
sanding. This could result in electrical shock.
1. How to hold the random orbit sander
While gripping the housing, lightly press the sander
against the surface to be sanded so that the sanding
paper uniformly contacts the surface, as shown in
Fig. 10. DO NOT apply excessive pressure to the
sander while sanding. Excessive pressure may
cause overload of the motor, reduced service life of
the sanding paper, and lowered sanding or polishing
effi ciency.
2. How to move the random orbit sander
Move the sander by either moving it up and down or
by moving it in circles while gradually progressing in a
sideways direction. (Figs. 11 and 12)

3. Switching the sander ON and OFF (Fig. 13)
The power can be turned on by setting the switch to
ON (I) and turned off by setting the switch to OFF (○).
NOTE
Never turn the power switch ON when the sander
is contacting the surface to be sanded. This is
necessary to preclude damage to the material. The
same applies when switching the power OFF.
CAUTION
● Immediately after use, always ensure that the
switch is in the OFF position and pull out the
battery.
● Since the sander may suck in dust and debris,
be careful not to place it where there is much
dust and debris when it is still spinning right
after use.
● Looking from above, the sanding pad rotates
clockwise during the loaded operation, but it
may rotate counterclockwise during the no-load
operation.
● Never run the tool without the sanding paper.
You may seriously damage the pad.
● Using the tool with the pad edge contacting the
workpiece may damage the pad.
