How to use

To begin using the sander, attach a compatible 125 mm sanding disc to the pad, ensuring it is centered correctly. Insert a charged 18V battery from the compatible platform into the designated slot until it clicks into place.

Move the sander in slow, steady, overlapping strokes across the material, allowing the tool to do the work without applying excessive downward pressure.

What to consider before purchase

• This product is a bare tool and does not include a battery or charger.
• Ensure you already own or plan to purchase a compatible 18V battery from the same brand.
• Check that you have a supply of 125 mm sanding discs suitable for your specific material.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, always start with a coarser grit sandpaper for material removal and finish with a finer grit for a smooth surface. Keep the sanding pad clean and replace discs as soon as they become worn to maintain efficiency and prevent surface damage.
