*7 How to hold and move the belt sander
○ Remove the tool from the workpiece and turn on the
trigger switch. When fi nishing, turn off the trigger switch
after the tool is removed from the workpiece, and set the
tool down after the rotation has stopped.
○ Grasp handle and handle knob and hold machine
against surface to be worked on so that it contacts
surface lightly.
○ Hold both handles fi rmly, and take great care to keep
your fi ngers away from the pulleys and sanding belt
while working.
○ Weight of machine itself is suffi cient for sanding and
polishing at highest effi ciency.
○ Do not apply any additional pressure, for this would
place unnecessary load on motor, shorten life of sanding
belt and lower work effi ciency.
○ Choose sanding belt of proper grain size and grain type
for your specifi c purpose, by referring to Table 4 and 5
below.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING
Be sure to turned off the switch and remove the battery
before maintenance and inspection.
1. Empting and cleaning the Dust Bag
Clean the dust bag after working to remove any sanding
dust. (Fig. 5)
NOTE
If too much dust accumulates in the dust bag, the dust
collection power will be reduced.
Dispose of dust as soon as possible.
2. Inspecting the sanding beIt
The abrasive performance of the sanding belt will
decrease if its abrasive particles become worn away or
clogged, greatly reducing the effi ciency of the tool. If this
occurs, replace with a new sanding belt.
3. Cleaning on the outside
When the power tool is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use chloric
solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.

4. Cleaning the battery installation compartment and
the battery
WARNING
Wear protective glasses and a dust mask when cleaning
with an air blow gun.
Failure to do so may result in inhalation or exposure of
the eyes to debris or dust.
After working, if sanding dust has accumulated on the
battery installation compartment and the battery, clean
off the accumulated sanding dust with an air blow gun or
a dry cloth before using the tool. (Fig. 13)
NOTE
○ After cleaning, ensure that the battery can be installed
and removed smoothly from the tool.
○ Using the tool when the battery is covered with sanding
dust may lead to accidents such as the battery falling
during use.
Furthermore, such use may cause a malfunction or
contact failure between the battery and terminals.
5. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
6. Storage
Store the power tool and battery in a place in which
the temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
NOTE
○ When storing the tool in the case, keep sanding dust and
debris away from it.
Remove the battery from the tool and attach the battery
cover. (Fig. 14)
○ Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
Important notice on the batteries for the HiKOKI
cordless power tools
Please always use one of our designated genuine
batteries. We cannot guarantee the safety and
performance of our cordless power tool when used with
batteries other than these designated by us, or when
the battery is disassembled and modifi ed (such as
disassembly and replacement of cells or other internal
parts).
NOTE
Due to HiKOKI's continuing program of research and
development, the specifi cations herein are subject to
change without prior notice.
