Installing/Removing Accessories (Fig.C–M,Q)
Tool-free Accessory clamp (Fig.C–E)
The DCS355, DCS356 features a quick change accessory system.

3
as shown in FigureC.
2. Clean any residual debris from the tool shaft and the
accessoryholder.
3. Slide the accessory between the shaft

and the accessory
holder making sure the accessory engages all eight pins on
the holder and is flush with the shaft. Ensure the accessory is
oriented as shown in FigureD.

Installing/Removing Sanding Sheets (Fig.F)
A diamond shaped platen uses a hook and loop adhesion
system to attach the sanding sheets. The platen allows you to
use it on large flat surfaces and tight spots orcorners.

as described under
Installing/RemovingAccessories.

the sanding platen and press the sanding sheet

onto
theplaten.
3. Firmly press the base with the sanding sheet attached
against a flat surface and briefly switch the tool on. This
provides for good adhesion between the platen and the
sanding sheet and also helps to prevent prematurewear.

the sheet from the platen, rotate andreapply.
