DeWalt DW443 Mode D'emploi page 21

• Apply only a gentle pressure to the
workpiece. Excessive pressure does not
improve the sanding effect, but only
results in an increased load on the
machine and causes the abrasive to tear.
• Avoid overloading.
Sanding (fig. A)
This random orbit sander produces small scratch
marks in all directions. Therefore, it is not necessary
to sand with the grain.
• If necessary, fit the side handle (7).
• Set the sanding speed using the electronic speed
control dial (2).
• Turn the sander on using the on/off-switch (1).
I = on
O = off
• Start with the coarsest grit size.
• Check your work at short intervals.
• Always switch off the tool when work is finished
and before unplugging.
Consult your dealer for further information on the
appropriate accessories.
Maintenance
Your D WALT Power Tool has been designed to
E
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.
Replacing the sanding pad and the speed limiter
disc (fig. F)
Both the sanding pad (8) and the speed limiter disc
(12) are consumable parts. The sanding pad needs
replacement when signs of wear become evident.
The speed limiter disc needs replacement when the
sanding pad speed increases dramatically when
lifting the sander off the workpiece.
• Unplug the tool.
• Loosen the 4 Torx head screws (13) and remove
the pad.
• Replace the sanding pad (8) and/or speed limiter
disc (12) and tighten the Torx head screws (13),
