OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
WARNING:
• Make sure all materials to be sanded
are well secured.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the
workpiece. Excessive pressure does
not improve the sanding effect, but
only results in an increased load on
the machine and causes the abrasive
to tear.
• Avoid overloading.
WARNING: Do not sand magnesium!
NOTICE: If you wrap the cord around
the tool when you store it, leave a
generous loop of cord such that the
strain relief (g, fig. 1) does not bend.
This helps prevent premature cord
failure.
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 5)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires either one hand on
the sander body (j) or one hand on the main grip (p)
as shown.

Sanding
Start with the coarsest grit size.
As the tool produces small abrasion marks in all
directions, it is not necessary to sand with the grain.
Check your work at short intervals.
Always switch off the tool when work is finished and
before unplugging.
MAINTENANCE
Your DEWALT power tool has been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
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.
Replacing the Sanding Pad and the
Speed Limiter Belt (fi g. 4)
Your sander is equipped with a replaceable belt (m)
which is located between the pad (f) and the sander
body (j). It is designed to control the pad speed
while the unit is off the work surface. The belt and
the sanding pad (f) are designed to be consumable
parts and will occasionally need to be replaced.
The sanding pad needs replacement when signs
of wear become evident. Replacement of the belt
is necessary when the pad speed increases very
dramatically when the unit is lifted from the work
surface. These parts are available at extra cost from
your local dealer or authorised DEWALT service
centre.
1. Holding the platen firmly, remove the four
screws (o) from the bottom of the pad.
2. Remove the pad (f).
