This battery - powered belt sander generates the power of an 8A corded sander, removes material quickly, and collects over 80% of the dust generated. While the M18 REDLITHIUM High Output HO6.0 battery (not included) offers all - day run - time for the toughest jobs.
Using your Milwaukee M18 FUEL 3x18 Belt Sander is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged and inserted correctly into the sander. Then, choose the appropriate sanding belt for your project. You can adjust the belt speed using the variable speed dial according to the material you're working on - higher speeds for faster material removal on softer materials and lower speeds for more control on harder materials.
When sanding, hold the sander firmly and move it smoothly across the surface. Use the tool - free adjustable pommel for flush sanding or for a more compact grip. The dual - LED lights will help you see what you're doing in low - light areas.
Changing the sanding belt is quick. Just use the tool - free belt change lever. And if you need to adjust the belt's position, you can use the tool - free belt tracking knob.
For dust collection, attach the dust bag or connect a vacuum using the universal hose adapter. This will keep your work area clean and reduce clean - up time.
Here are some important things to keep in mind. Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when using the sander to protect your eyes and lungs from dust. Don't use the sander if it's damaged. If you notice any strange noises or vibrations, stop using it immediately and have it checked.
To maintain your sander, keep it clean. After each use, empty the dust bag and wipe down the sander. Store it in a dry place. Periodically check the battery for any signs of damage or wear. If you're not going to use the sander for a long time, remove the battery and store it separately in a cool, dry place.
