Additional Safety Rules For Paint Removal
1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling
the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant
women.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical
analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is
being done until all clean up is completed.
2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter
should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. See your local
hardware store for the proper NIOSH approved dust mask.
3. 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mil
(0.10 mm) thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work
area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
1. 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.
2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or
other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of
through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women
should be kept away from the immediate work area.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly
before being used again.

INTENDED USE
This heavy-duty belt sander has been designed for professional sanding at various work sites
(i.e., construction sites). DO NOT use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids
or gases.
This heavy-duty belt sander is a professional power tool. DO NOT let children come into
contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool.
Installing And Removing The Abrasive Belt (Fig. 1)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it. Damage or personal injury could
result.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, secure the workpiece and maintain
a firm grip on the sander. Friction between the sanding belt and the work will tend to move the
work backward and the sander forward.
WARNING: To avoid severe abrasion, ALWAYS keep fingers away from the moving belt and
areas where the belt enters the housing.
WARNING: Severe laceration hazard. If installed backwards, unidirectional sanding belts
may not track properly and may overhang the housing, possibly causing severe lacerations.
1. Place the sander on its left side.
2. Pull the lever (I) out toward the front of the machine as shown. This will retract the idler
pulley (J) and release the tension on the abrasive belt.
3. Remove the old belt.

To Start And Stop The Belt Sander (Fig 1, 2)
H
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, make sure the sander is not resting on the workpiece
when the switch is turned on.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, check to see that the belt guard (K) is in place,
secured, and working correctly.
1. Be certain that the the switch is off and the power circuit voltage is the same as the voltage
shown on the specification plate. Connect the machine to the power circuit.
2. Squeeze the trigger (G) to start the motor. Release the trigger to stop the motor.
3. To allow the motor to run without constantly holding the trigger, press the trigger switch
(G), push and hold the lock button (F) while releasing the trigger switch.
4. To release the lock button, squeeze the trigger and release.
Variable Speed (Fig. 1)
Model DWP352VS has a Variable Speed Control. The operating speed is adjustable between
850 SFM (surface feet per minute) and 1300 SFM.
The speed is adjusted by turning the variable speed dial (H). The first position provides the
slowest operating speed (850 SFM) while position 6 is the fastest (1300 SFM). The speed can
be changed either when the motor is running or is stopped.
Tracking The Abrasive Belt (Fig. 2)
WARNING: Severe laceration hazard. Properly adjust the tracking of the belt to avoid
it overhanging the housing. A running belt overhanging the housing can cause severe
lacerations.
C
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, always be sure the switch is off before connecting
the tool to power source.
To prevent excessive wear on both the sander and belt, NEVER allow the abrasive belt to rub
on the sander frame. To make sure that the belt is tracking correctly, do the following:
1. Turn the tool over. Hold the rear handle with the left hand so that the ring finger and the
little finger rest on trigger.
2. Squeeze the trigger to start the motor.
3. Turn the belt aligning knob (L) in either direction until the edge of the belt is even with the
outer edge of the rear rubber-covered pulley. The edge of the belt will extend beyond the
edge of the front pulley.
4. Release the trigger to stop the motor. Allow the tool to come to a COMPLETE STOP before
turning it over and putting it down.
Dust Collection (Fig. 3)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Empty dust collection system frequently, especially when sanding resin-
coated surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish, shellac, etc. Dispose of coated dust particles
according to the finish manufacturer's guidelines, or place in a metal can with a tight fitting
metal lid. Remove coated dust particles from the premises daily. The accumulation of fine
sanding dust particles may self ignite and cause fire.
WARNING: Shock hazard. The use of a vacuum hose and vacuum adapter with the belt
sander may generate static electricity that could result in startling static discharge.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not use a dust collection device when sanding metal. Doing so
creates a fire hazard, which may cause serious personal injury and/or damage to the tool.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, do not operate the tool without a dust bag.
To install the dust bag depress the spring clips (B) of the dust bag (A) and clip the dust bag
over the rib of the dust spout (C). For the most efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it
is approximately half full. Squeeze the spring clip and pull dust bag off vacuum housing, unzip
the rear of the bag, and shake out the dust. Every so often, turn the bag inside out and brush
the accumulated dust from the inside.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, do not use this tool in a stand that
would invert it for use as a stationary belt sander. This tool is not made for that application.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, secure the work and maintain a firm grip on the
sander. Friction between the sanding belt and the work will tend to move the work backward
and the sander forward.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, always be sure the switch is off before connecting
the tool to power source.
1. Hold the sander off the work before starting the motor.
2. Lower the sander to the work, touching the rear part of the belt first. Level the machine
when moving it forward.
3. Guide the machine over the work in overlapping strokes. Allow the sander to do the
work.
4. Avoid applying excessive pressure. The weight of the machine is usually sufficient for a fast
smooth finish. A slight increase in pressure may speed removal of material, but too much
pressure will slow the motor and decrease removal.
5. Work back and forth over a fairly wide area to obtain an even surface.
6. Do not let the tool tilt. The edge of the belt can make a deep cuts into the surface.
7. Do not pause in any one spot during the sanding operation. The belt will eat into the work
and make the surface uneven.
8. Lift the tool from the work before turning the motor off.
9. Always be sure that the motor has completely stopped before putting the tool down.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. 1)
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 one hand on the front handle (E), with the other hand on the
main handle (D).
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with dry air at least once a week. Wear
proper ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) eye protection and proper NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA
respiratory protection when performing this.
