arrow on the inside of the sanding belt points
in the same direction as the arrow on the
machine.
4. Turn the clamping lever counter-clockwise until

5. Switch the machine on and turn the belt
centring knob (8) until the sanding belt is
centred on the roller (6).

DW433 - Setting the Electronic
Speed Control (fi g. A)
The belt speed is infinitely variable from 260 to
420 m/min using the electronic speed control
dial (5).
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 (fi g. D1, D2)
WARNING: Since woodworking with a
sander produces dust, always install a
dustbag designed in compliance with
the applicable directives regarding dust
emission.

vacuum extractor without proper spark
protection when sanding metal.
1. Slide the dustbag (9) onto the adaptor (14) over
the edges (15).
2. Pull the locking collar (16) up.
3. Locate the rim (17) behind the edge (18).
4. Align the lugs (19) with the recesses (20).
5. Firmly push the adaptor (14) into the dust
extraction outlet (21) until it clicks in place.
6. Push the locking collar down.
