Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place! General 1 Keep work area clean Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents. 2 Consider work area environment Do not expose Power Tools to humidity. Keep work area well lit. Do not use Power Tools in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. 3 Guard against electric shock Prevent body contact with earthed surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). For use under extreme conditions (e.g. high humidity, when metal swarf is being produced, etc.) electric safety can be improved by inserting an isolating transformer or a (FI) earth-leakage circuit-breaker. 4 Keep children away Do not let children come into contact with the tool or extension cord. Supervision is required for those under 16 years of age. 5 Extension cords for outdoor use When the tool is used outdoors, always use extension cords intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly. 6 Store idle tools When not in use, Power Tools must be stored in a dry place and locked up securely, out of reach of children. 7 Dress properly Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught in moving parts. Preferably wear rubber gloves and non-slip footwear when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the way. 8 Wear safety goggles Also use a face or dust mask in case the operations produce dust or flying particles. 9 Beware of maximum sound pressure Take appropriate measures for the protection of hearing if the sound pressure of 85 dB(A) is exceeded. 10 Secure workpiece Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer and it frees both hands to operate the tool. 11 Do not overreach Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 12 Avoid unintentional starting Do not carry the plugged-in tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the switch is released when plugging in. 13 Stay alert Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.

Unplug the tool when not in use, before servicing or changing accessories. 15 Remove adjusting keys and wrenches Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool. 16 Use appropriate tool The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation with this tool, other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury. 17 Do not abuse cord Never carry the tool by its cord or pull it to disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. 18 Maintain tools with care Keep the tools in good condition and clean for better and safer performance.14 en - 3 ENGLISH Follow the instructions for maintenance and changing accessories.

Pay special attention to the following: 1 Whenever possible, use a vacuum extractor for dust collection. 2 Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly lead based:

• Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work area.

• All persons entering the work area should wear a mask specially designed for protection against lead paint dust and fumes.

• Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area. 3 Dispose of dust particles and any other removal debris safely. Package contents The package contains: 1 Belt sander 1 Dustbag 1 Instruction manual 1 Exploded drawing

A) Your DEWALT belt sander DW430/DW431 has been designed for professional applications. 1 On/off-switch 2 Speed control dial (DW431) 3 Lock-on button 4 Clamping spring (for sanding frame) 5 Sanding belt 6 Belt centring knob 7 Dustbag 8 Grip 9 Roller shaft 10 Roller 11 Locking shaft holder (for sanding frame) 12 Clamping lever Electrical safety The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Your DEWALT tool is double insulated in accordance with EN 50144; therefore no earth wire is required. Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)

• Should your mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact an authorized DEWALT repair agent or a qualified electrician.

• Disconnect the plug from the supply.

• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug with bared copper conductors is dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.

• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).

• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection points of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2) and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).ENGLISH en - 4 15

• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug ensure that the cable restraint(3) is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws. Never use a light socket. Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N) wires to the earth pin marked E or . For 115 V units with a power rating exceeding 1500 W, we recommend to fit a plug to BS4343 standard. Using an extension cable If an extension cable is required, use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of this tool (see technical data). The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm

. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely. Also refer to the table below. Conductor size (mm

Assembly and adjustment Prior to assembly and adjustment always unplug the tool. Fitting and centring the sanding belt (fig. B & C) Your belt sander uses 75 x 533 mm sanding belts.

• Pull the clamping lever (12) forwards.

• Remove the sanding belt (5).

• Place a new sanding belt making sure that the arrow on the inside of the sanding belt points in the same direction as the arrow on the machine when on the same side of the rollers.

• Push the clamping lever back.

• Switch the machine on and turn the belt centring knob (6) until the sanding belt is centred on the roller (10). DW431 - Speed control (fig. D)

• Turn the speed control dial (2) to the desired position. The higher the number, the higher the belt speed. Mounting, removing and adjusting the sanding frame (fig. A & E) The sanding frame is available as an option.

• Remove the locking shaft (13) from the sanding frame (14) and disassemble the nut, the spring and the crankshaft (15).

• Push the locking shaft into the hole (11) at the side where the clamping lever (12) is.

• Mount the spring, the crankshaft and the nut (15).

• Set the crankshafts at right angles with the sanding belt and push the sanding frame onto the crankshaft.

• Click the locking shaft (16) into the clamping spring (4).

• Adjust the height of the sanding frame (14) using the knob (17).

• To remove the sanding frame, proceed in reverse order.16 en - 5 ENGLISH If the sanding frame is not being used, the locking shaft (13) can be rotated a quarter of a turn. It is not necessary to remove the locking shaft because the crankshaft will park inside the recess (11). Mounting and removing the stationary stand (fig. A & F) With a stationary stand (option), the machine can be used in a stationary position both upside down and horizontally.

• If required, mount the sanding frame (14) as described above.

• Place the belt sander on the stationary stand (18). Guide the cord away at the side of the clamping lever (12).

• Place the fixing bolt (19) and tighten the round nut (20) (see inset in figure F).

• To remove the stationary stand, proceed in reverse order. Dust extraction (fig. A) Since woodworking with a sander produces dust, always install a dustbag designed in compliance with the applicable directives regarding dust emission. Do not use a dustbag or vacuum extractor without proper spark protection when sanding metal. Do not sand magnesium!

• Place the dustbag (7) over the flange (21) or connect a vacuum extractor.

• For efficient dust extraction empty the dustbag when it is about one third full.

• Remove the dustbag from the flange, open the zipper and gently shake out the dustbag. Instructions for use

• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

• Make sure all materials to be sanded are well secured.

• Apply only a gentle pressure to the workpiece. Switching on and off (fig. A)

• Switching on: press the on/off-switch (1).

• For continuous operation, also press the lock-on button (3).
