6. Firmly tighten the threaded flange with the two-pin spanner
supplied (Fig. 11). You can now plug the tool in and start work.
FOR GRINDING:
Using a depressed center disc, use the tool at an angle of
approximately 30° to the work for roughing. (See figure 13.)
Fitting Wire Cup Brushes
The wire cup brush screws directly on the spindle of the machine
without the use of flanges.
Side-handle (Fig. 12)
The side handle can be fitted to either side of the gear case.
Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
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
a. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where
the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.
b. 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.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint
dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not
offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper
N.I.O.S.H. approved mask.
c. 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
a. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the
amount of dust generated.
b. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with
plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
c. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust
outside the work area.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be
washed thoroughly before being used again.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air
is a necessary regular maintenance procedure. Dust and grit
containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and
could create an electrical shock hazard if not frequently cleaned out.
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. Use clean, dry rag only.
Lubrication
D WALT tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for
E
use. Tools should be relubricated regularly every sixty days to six
