Product Information
Full details
The Einhell TE-RS 18 Li is a cordless rotating orbital sander designed for DIYers and craftspeople who need a mobile, high-precision solution for sanding wood, metal, or stone surfaces. Its key benefit lies in the material-specific speed electronics that allow users to tailor the sanding intensity to the task, ensuring a refined finish on diverse materials. However, users should note that as a battery-powered tool, it is best suited for medium-duty tasks rather than continuous, heavy-duty industrial sanding sessions.

Does it come with sanding discs in the box?
The package includes the tool, one 4Ah battery, and a 3Ah fast charger; check your specific retail kit for additional included accessories.
Troubleshooting
Sanding disc keeps detaching
Ensure the dust from the pad is wiped away and the disc is centered correctly on the hook and loop base.
Poor dust collection
Check if the dust bag is full or if the connection port is clogged with debris.
Tool stops during operation
Check the battery charge level; the motor may shut off to protect the battery from deep discharge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tool, ensure the 4Ah battery is fully charged using the provided 3Ah fast charger before the first use. Slide the battery into the base of the handle until it clicks securely. For operation, select a sanding disc appropriate for your material grit and press it firmly onto the hook and loop pad. When working, always clear the dust bag once it reaches one-third capacity to ensure maximum extraction efficiency. After use, store the unit in a dry place and remove the battery to prevent accidental activation. Regularly inspect the sanding pad for wear and replace it if the hook and loop material loses its grip strength.
