If the green indicator light

is “BLINKING RAPIDLY”, the battery pack is too hot or cold for fast-charging. The charger will

automatically switch to fast-charging once a suitable temperature is reached, or the battery pack cannot accept a charge or the contacts of the charger or battery pack are contaminated. Clean the contacts of the charger or battery pack (e. g. by inserting and removing the battery several times) or replace the battery pack, as required.

The purpose of the light is to indicate that the battery pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact point of full charge. The light will stop blinking in less time if the battery pack was not completely discharged.

When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another battery pack) remove battery pack from charger and slip the battery pack back into the tool handle.

Tool Tips

This tool is particularly suitable for one hand ed operation, and access to corners and edges that are otherwise difficult to reach and require hand sanding. Profiles and grooves may be fin- ished using the tip or edge of the selected attachment, which should occasionally be rotated during use to distribute the wear on the attachment and backing pad surface.

Always be certain that smaller workpieces are securely fastened to a bench or other support. Larger panels may be held in place by hand on a bench or sawhorses.

SANDING: Open-coat aluminum oxide sanding sheets are recommended for most wood or metal sand ngi applications, as this synthetic material cuts quickly and wears well. Some applications, such as metal finishing or cleaning, require spe cial abrasive pads which are available from your dealer. For best results, use sanding and polishing accessories which are of superior quality and are carefully

selected to produce professional quality results with your sander.

The following suggestions may be used as a gen eral guide for abrasive selection, but the best re sults will be obtained by sanding a test sample of the workpiece first.

Grit	Application
Coarse	For rough wood or metal sanding,
	and rust or old finish removal.
Medium	For general wood or metal sanding
Fine	For final finishing of wood, metal,
	plaster and other surfaces.
Extra fine	For final sanding of bare wood,
	smoothing old paint, or preparing a
	finished surface for recoating.

With the workpiece firmly secured, turn tool on as described above. Contact the work with the tool after the sander has reached its full speed,
