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 (Fig. 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.
Switching On and Off (Fig. 1)
Set the sanding speed using the electronic speed
control dial (b).
To switch the tool on, set the on/off switch to
position I.
To switch the tool off, set the on/off switch to
position O.
Setting the Electronic Speed Control
Dial (Fig. 1)
The speed is infinitely variable from 8,000–12,000
min
-1
using the electronic speed control dial (b).
Turn the electronic speed control dial to the required
level. The correct setting, however, is a matter of
experience.
Generally, harder materials require a higher setting.
Dust Extraction (Fig. 3, 4)
WARNING: Since woodworking with a
sander produces dust, always install a
dust bag designed in compliance with
the applicable directives regarding dust
emission.
WARNING: Do not use a dust bag or
vacuum extractor without proper spark
protection when sanding metal.
Your sander has two dust extraction methods: a
built-in outlet (c) which allows either the supplied
dust bag (d) or a shop vacuum system to be
connected; and a dust skirt (n, Fig. 4). The built-in
outlet utilizes the DEWALT airlock connection making
it compatible with the DEWALT dust extractor and
airlock accessory DWV9000.
TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG
1. While holding the sander, fit the dust bag collar
(e) to the outlet (c) as shown in Figure 3.
2. Turn the collar (e) clockwise to lock the dust
bag (d) in place.
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG
NOTE: Be sure to wear approved eye protection
and approved dust mask when performing this
procedure.
For efficient dust extraction, empty the dust collector
when it is about one third full.
1. While holding the sander, turn the collar (e)
anticlockwise to unlock the dust bag (d).
2. Remove dust bag from the sander and gently
shake or tap the dust bag to empty.
3. Reattach the dust bag back onto the outlet and
lock into place by turning the dust bag collar
clockwise.
You may notice that all the dust will not come
free from the bag. This will not affect sanding
performance but will reduce the sander’s dust
collection efficiency. To restore your sander’s dust
collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the
dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the
side of the waste bin or dust receptacle.
