- NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in
the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle onthem.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
- Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dustgenerated.
- Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 milsthickness.
- Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the workarea.
3. CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
- All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changedfrequently.

of along with any dust chips or other removal debris.

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.

injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.

Replacing the Sanding Pad and the Belt
(Fig.G)
Your sander is equipped with a replaceable belt
13
which
is located between the pad
6
and the sander body
12
. It is
designed to control the pad speed while the unit is off the work
surface. The belt and the sanding pad
6
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
14
from
the bottom of thepad.
2. Remove the pad
6
.
3. Replace worn or damaged belt
13
by wrapping it around
the shoulder screw
15
and bearing retainer
16
as shown
in FigureG.
4. Reinstall pad (replace with new pad if necessary). Replace
the four screws
14
. Be careful not to over-tightenscrews.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additionallubrication.
