Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved
3–core extension cable suitable for the power input
of this tool (see Technical Data).The minimum
conductor size is 1.5 mm

; the maximum length
is 30 m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable
completely.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury, turn unit off and disconnect
machine from power source before
installing and removing accessories,
before adjusting or changing set-
ups or when making repairs. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Fitting Sanding Sheets (Fig. 2–5)
FITTING REGULAR SANDING SHEETS (FIG. 2–5)
1. Soften the stiff sandpaper by pulling it over the
90° edge of a table or other straight edge, as
shown in Figure 2. Concentrate on softening the
edges to be clamped.
2. Release the rear paper clamp (F) by pulling up
on the side clamp levers (G) and disengaging
them from the tabs (H) on the base plate/pad
(D) as shown in Figure 3.
3. Disengage the front paper clamp (B, Fig. 4)
by applying and holding pressure on the front
clamp button (C) while inserting the 115 mm
(4-1/2") edge of the abrasive paper under the
front paper clamp (B) until if hits the paper-
limiting ribs (E). Release the front paper clamp
to secure the front of the paper.
4. Stretch paper over the base plate/pad (D) and
begin to pivot the rear paper clamp (F) around
to its locking position. Lock one side clamp
lever (G) by placing it behind the tab (H, Fig. 5)
on the base plate/pad (D) and then repeat with
the second side clamp lever.
5. If you are using the dust extraction feature,
perforate the sandpaper (see Paper Punch).
FITTING HOOK AND LOOP SANDING SHEETS (FIG. 6)
1. Place the tool on a table, base plate/pad (D) up.
2. Place the sanding sheet directly on top of the
base plate/pad (D).
3. Hold the base plate/pad with one hand and
align the dust extraction holes (L).
4. Press the sheet firmly onto the base plate/pad.
Paper Punch (Fig. 7)
A paper punch (M) is provided with your sander to
let you perforate regular sandpaper to make dust
collection possible.
TO PERFORATE YOUR SANDPAPER
Install the sandpaper on the tool as instructed in this
manual. With the sander turned off and unplugged,
place the paper punch on the paper so that the
tabs at the edges of the punch are against any two
adjacent sides of the sanding pad, as shown. Press
the punch against the pad so that the 8 points
penetrate the paper, as shown in Figure 7. (Press
the punch into the pad as far as it will go.) Remove
the paper punch and the paper is ready.
An alternate method of perforating the paper is
to securely fasten the punch to a suitable work
surface. Two holes are provided in the punch for this
purpose. Use #8 flat head screws. Press the sander
(with the paper attached) down on the punch.
Dust Extraction (Fig. 1, 8)
WARNING: Since woodworking with a
sander produces dust, always install a
dustbag designed in compliance with
the applicable directives regarding dust
emission.
WARNING: Do not use a dustbag or
vacuum extractor without proper spark
protection when sanding metal.
The tool is supplied with an adapter for connecting a
dustbag or a vacuum extractor.
Your sander has a built-in vac-adapter (I) which
allows either the supplied dust bag (J) or a shop
vacuum system to be connected. The built-in outlet
utilizes the D
WALT AirLock connection making it
compatible with the D
WALT dust extractor.
TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG
1. While holding the sander, fit the dust bag collar
(K) to the vac-adapter (I) as shown in Figure 8.
2. Turn the collar (K) clockwise to lock the dust
bag (J) in place.
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG
1. While holding the sander, turn the collar (K)
anticlockwise to unlock the dust bag (J).
2. Remove dust bag from the sander and gently
shake or tap the dust bag to empty.
