Inserting the Battery
Push the charged battery into the battery holder until it
clicks into place.
Removing the Battery
To remove the rechargeable battery, press the battery re-
lease button and pull the battery out. Do not use force to do
this.
Battery Charge Indicator on the Power Tool
The battery charge indicator on the power tool indicates the
state of charge of the battery or an overload for a few
seconds when the power tool is switched on.
LED
3 × continuous green light
2 × continuous green light
1 × continuous green light
1 × slowly flashing green light
The three LEDs in the battery charge indicator on the power
tool flash quickly when the temperature of the rechargeable
battery is outside the operating temperature range and/or
the overload protection has been triggered.
Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the
Battery
Protect the battery against moisture and water.
Only store the battery within a temperature range of −20 to
50 °C. Do not leave the battery in your car in the summer, for
example.
A significantly reduced operating time after charging indic-
ates that the battery has deteriorated and must be replaced.
Follow the instructions on correct disposal.
Assembly
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Dust/chip extraction
The dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of
wood, minerals and metal can be harmful to human health.
Touching or breathing in this dust can trigger allergic reac-
tions and/or cause respiratory illnesses in the user or in
people in the near vicinity.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are classified as
carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with wood treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials contain-
ing asbestos may only be machined by specialists.
– Use a dust extraction system that is suitable for the ma-
terial wherever possible.
– Provide good ventilation at the workplace.
– It is advisable to wear a P2 filter class breathing mask.
1 609 92A 8H2 | (13.06.2023)
The regulations on the material being machined that apply in
the country of use must be observed.
Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace. Dust can
u
easily ignite.
Self-generated dust extraction with dust box (see figures
A1–A4)
Slide the dust box (5) onto the extraction outlet (10).
You can easily check the filling level of the dust box (5)
through the transparent container.
To empty the dust box (5), rotate slightly and pull it back.

≈ 75–100 %
Note: In order to ensure optimum dust extraction, empty the
≈ 40–75 %
dust box (5) in good time and clean the filter element (11)
≈ 15–40 %
regularly.
≈ 0–15 %
When working on vertical surfaces, hold the power tool with
the dust box (5) facing downwards.
External dust extraction (see figure B)
Insert the dust extraction adapter (13) (accessory) into an
extraction hose (12) (accessory) until you hear it click into
place. Connect the dust extraction adapter (13) to the ex-
traction outlet (10) on the power tool and the extraction
hose (12) to a vacuum cleaner (accessory).
You will find an overview of connecting to various dust ex-
tractors at the end of these operating instructions.
The dust extractor must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Changing the sanding sheet (see figure C)
Remove dirt and dust from the sanding plate (7), e.g. with a
brush, before attaching a new sanding sheet.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, make sure that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet are aligned with the
drilled holes in the sanding plate.
The sanding plate (7) is fitted with a hook-and-loop fasten-
ing, allowing sanding sheets with a similar backing to be se-
cured quickly and easily.
Tap the hook-and-loop fastening of the sanding plate (7) be-
fore fitting the sanding sheet (8) to facilitate maximum adhe-
sion.
The power tool is equipped with two sanding sheets. De-
pending on their state of wear, these can also be changed in-
dividually.
Only use the power tool when both sanding sheets are
u
fitted.
Only use sanding sheets with the same grit.
u
Position the sanding sheet (8) so that it is flush with one a
side of the sanding plate (7), then place the sanding sheet
on the sanding plate and press it on firmly.
