Product Information
Full details
The Mac Allister 18V Cordless Detail Sander is designed for DIYers and hobbyists who need a lightweight, maneuverable tool for detailed sanding tasks in confined spaces. Its key benefit is its ability to reach corners, edges, and intricate areas that larger sanders cannot. A caveat to consider is that this is a bare tool, meaning the battery and charger are sold separately and must be purchased to operate the sander.

FAQs
Is a battery included with this sander?
No, this is a bare tool and does not include a battery or charger. You will need a Mac Allister SOLO 18V battery and charger to operate the sander.
What types of surfaces can I sand with this tool?
This sander is designed for dry sanding on wood, plastics, metal, and fillers.
How do I change the sandpaper?
Ensure the sander is turned off and the battery is removed. Align the new sandpaper sheet with the dust pad and press firmly to secure it. The pad typically uses a hook-and-loop system.
Can I use this sander for large areas?
While possible, this sander is best suited for detail work in corners, edges, and tight spaces. For large surfaces, a larger orbital or belt sander would be more efficient.
How long will the battery last?
Battery runtime depends on the amp-hour (Ah) rating of the Mac Allister SOLO 18V battery used and the intensity of the sanding task.
How should I clean the sander?
Disconnect the battery, then wipe the exterior with a dry cloth. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clear dust from the vents and sanding pad area.
Troubleshooting
Sander does not turn on.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted into the sander. Check that the battery contacts are clean.
Reduced sanding power or speed.
The battery may be low on charge. Recharge or replace the battery. Also, check if the sanding pad or dust port is clogged with debris.
Sanding paper not staying attached.
Ensure the sandpaper is correctly aligned and firmly pressed onto the sanding pad. Check the condition of the hook-and-loop surface on the pad; if worn, it may need replacement.
