Using A Palm Sander Continued
9) When using the tool, always adopt a firm footing and/or position
and grip the tool firmly to counteract any forces or reaction
forces that may be generated while using the tool.
10) Use only genuine Dewalt spare parts or parts which perform
equivalently. Do not make temporary or permanent repairs with
unauthorized parts.
11) Do not lock, tape, wire, etc., the on/off trigger in the run
position. The trigger must always be free to return to
the "off" position when it is released.
12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool and depress the
trigger to release air from the feed hose before fitting,
adjusting or removing the working attachment.
13) Check hoses and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if
necessary. Do not carry the tool by its hose. Ensure the
hand is removed from the on/off trigger when carrying
the tool with the air supply connected.
14) Take care against entanglement of moving tool parts
with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. This will
cause the body to be drawn towards the tool and can
be very dangerous.
15) Safe working practices and observe all relevant legal
requirements when installing, using or maintaining the tool.
16) Only install the tool when an easily accessible and easily
operable on/off switch is incorporated in the air supply.
17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not
cause problems or blow onto another person.
18) Never lay a tool down unless the working attachment has
stopped moving.
19) Always begin sanding with sandpaper coarse enough to
remove high spots on the surface to be sanded.
Progress to finer grit sandpaper until the desired finish is
obtained.
20) Always use sandpaper appropriate for the surface
being sanded.
PRE-START CHECKLIST
• Drain water from air compressor tank and condensation from
air lines. (Please refer to air compressor's operation manual.)
• Lubricate the tool.(Please refer to the "Maintenance" section
in the manual.)
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose with
hand when installing or disconnenting to prevent hose whip.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacture's maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator output
pressure must never exceed the maximun pressure rating.
NOTE: The use of a quick connect set makes connecting easier
IMPORTANT:The use of air filters and air line lubricators
is recommended.
SANDER PAD ASSEMBLY
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before assembling or
disassembling the sander pad.
• To disassemble the sanding pad (B), slide the supplied wrench
between the sander pad (B) and skirt (G) until the wrench is in
contact with the flats of the balance shaft nut (H).
• Hold the wrench firmly and rotate the sander pad (B)
counterclockwise to loosen it from the tool.
