of the cable, that is, 16gauge has more capacity than
18gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When
using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. The following table shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss
of power and overheating. DeWALT tools are factory tested; if
this tool does not operate, check power supply.
ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making
any adjustments or removing or installing attachments
or accessories. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position.
Your sander is designed to use 1/4‑sized sanding sheets. Pre‑
cut 4‑1/2" x 5‑1/2" (11 cm X 14 cm) sandpaper is available at
extra cost.
TO MAKE 4-1/2" X 5-1/2" (11 cm X 14 cm)
SANDPAPER
a. Cut full‑sized (9" x 11" [23 cm x 28 cm]) sandpaper
into 1/4 sheets of 4‑1/2" x 5‑1/2" (11 cm X 14 cm).
b. Cut 1/2 sheet sandpaper into two 4‑1/2" x 5‑1/2" (11 cm
X 14 cm) sheets.
FITTING REGULAR SANDING SHEETS
For normal operation, assemble the abrasive paper to your
unit as follows:
1. Soften the stiff sandpaper by pulling it over the 90° edge
of a table or other straight edge, as shown in Figure B.
Concentrate on softening the edges to be clamped.
2. Release the rear paper clamp
