Important Safety Information
Always read and understand all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
- Work Area Safety: Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Electrical Safety: Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Personal Safety: Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- Power Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

Setup
1. Charging the Battery
Before first use, fully charge the 20V Lithium-Ion battery. Connect the fast charger to a standard electrical outlet and insert the battery. The charger's LED indicator will show the charging status. A full charge typically takes less than one hour. The battery also features an LED power gauge to indicate its charge level.

3. Attaching Dust Collection Box
Slide the dust collection box onto the designated slot at the rear of the sander until it clicks securely into place. This box collects dust generated during sanding, keeping your workspace cleaner.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective and safe operation of your detail sander:
- Prepare Workpiece: Ensure your workpiece is clean, dry, and securely clamped to prevent movement during sanding.
- Select Sandpaper: Choose the appropriate grit for your task. Start with a coarser grit (P60) for material removal and move to finer grits (P80, P120) for a smoother finish.
- Power On: Hold the sander firmly with both hands. Locate the On/Off switch, typically on the top of the tool, and slide it to the "On" position.
- Begin Sanding: Gently place the sanding pad flat against the surface of the workpiece. Apply light, even pressure and move the sander in smooth, overlapping strokes. For best results, sand with the grain of the wood. The pointed tip allows access to tight corners and intricate details.
- Monitor Dust Box: Periodically check the dust collection box and empty it when it is about half full to maintain optimal dust collection efficiency.
- Power Off: When finished, lift the sander from the workpiece and slide the On/Off switch to the "Off" position.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Pink Power Detail Sander.
- Cleaning the Dust Collection Box: After each use, or when full, remove the dust collection box and empty its contents. The filter inside the box is washable; clean it periodically with water and allow it to dry completely before reattaching.
- Cleaning the Sander Body: Wipe down the exterior of the sander with a clean, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no dust or debris accumulates in the ventilation slots.
- Battery Care and Storage: Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the battery with a partial charge (around 50%). Do not store fully discharged batteries.
- Sandpaper Replacement: Replace sandpaper pads when they become worn or clogged to maintain effective sanding performance.
