Battery and charger contents can vary between models. Check the individual product specification carefully to confirm whether the sander is supplied as a bare tool or with batteries and a charger.
Which abrasive should I use with a cordless sander?

A cordless sander provides greater freedom of movement and avoids managing a mains cable while working. This can be particularly useful on building sites, during installations and in areas without convenient access to mains power.
How should I manage dust when sanding?
Use the sander's available dust collection system or a compatible extraction solution where appropriate. Wear suitable eye and respiratory protection, keep the work area ventilated and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions.
