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 D
WALT power tool has been designed to
E
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 (Fig. 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 D
centre.
1. Holding the platen firmly, remove the four
screws (o) from the bottom of the pad.
2. Remove the pad (f).
3. Replace worn or damaged belt (m) by wrapping
it around the shoulder screw (k) and bearing
retainer (l) as shown in Figure 4.
4. Reinstall pad (replace with new pad if
necessary). Replace the four screws (o). Be
careful not to over-tighten screws.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
Cleaning
NOTE: After the tool is used in metal sanding
applications without dust bag, clean the tool using
low-pressure air.
