An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually BELT SANDER DWP352VS21 ENGLISH b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,

read the instruction manual. General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.22 ENGLISH Additional Safety Instructions for Belt Sanders

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the belt may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Do not sand metal of any kind with your sander. Sparks may be generated by sanding screws, nails or other metals which may ignite dust particles.

• Do not wet sand with this sander. Liquids may enter the motor housing and cause electric shock.

• Empty dust bag frequently. Especially when sanding resin coated surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish, shellac, etc. The accumulation of fine sanding dust particles may self ignite and cause fire.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.

• Sanding of lead-based paint, chemically pressure treated lumber or other materials that may contain carcinogens is not recommended. Sanding of these materials should only be performed by a professional.

• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electric shock or electrocution. ALWAYS disconnect the sander from the power source before cleaning. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES that conform to ANSI Z87.1.

• ALWAYS disconnect tool from the power source before changing abrasive belts or sheets. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• ALWAYS maintain a firm grip with both hands on the belt sander handles with both hands to prevent loss of control.

• ALWAYS keep fingers away from the moving belt and areas where the belt enters the housing to avoid severe abrasion.

• Do not operate belt sander without all guards and covers securely in place.

• To avoid injury, do not use this tool in a stand that would invert it for use as a parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.23 ENGLISH 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. Residual Risks In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.

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 minimise the amount of dust generated.

2. Areas where paint removal is occurring

should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mil (0.10mm) 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 placed24 ENGLISH If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord by the D EWALT service organisation. Mains Plug Replacement (U.K. & Ireland Only) If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:

• Safely dispose of the old plug.

• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.

• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.

The speed can be changed either when the motor is running or is stopped.26 ENGLISH Proper hand position requires one hand on the front handle (d), with the other hand on the main handle (c). To Operate

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

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

9. Always be sure that the motor has completely

stopped before putting the tool down. 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.

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. Before installing the dust chute, place the Oring (n) onto the dust spout (b) between the two ribs (Fig.3). To install the dust chute (l), place the end with the threaded knob (m) over the dust spout (b) and rotate to preferred position. Tighten knob (m) to secure dust chute to dust spout (Fig. 3).
