Proper hand position requires one hand on the main grip
asshown.
Operating the Sander (Fig. F)
NOTICE: These sanders are not to be used in
drywallapplications.
NOTICE: Avoid overloading your sander. Overloading
will result in a considerable reduction in speed and finish
quality of your work. The unit may also become hot. In
this event, run sander at a no load condition for a minute
ortwo.
To operate your sander, grasp it as shown in Figure F and turn it
on. Move the sander in long, sweeping strokes along the surface
being sanded, letting the sander do thework.
Pushing down on the tool while sanding actually slows the
removal rate and produces an inferior quality surface. Be sure
to check your work often, this sander is capable of removing
material rapidly, especially with coarsepaper.
The random orbital action of your sander allows you to sand
with the grain or at any angle across it for most sanding jobs. To
produce the best finish possible, start with coarse grit sandpaper
Proper Hand Position (Fig. F)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position asshown.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
suddenreaction.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicableregulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.
For efficient dust extraction, empty the dust collector when it is
about one thirdfull.
1. While holding the sander, turn the collar
5
anticlockwise to
unlock the dust bag
4
.
2. Remove dust bag from the sander and gently shake or tap
the dust bag toempty.
3. Reattach the dust bag back onto the dust port and lock into
place by turning the dust bag collarclockwise.
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the
bag. This will not affect sanding performance but will reduce
the sander’s dust collection efficiency. To restore your sander’s
dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag
when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of the waste bin
or dustreceptacle.

CAUTION: Never operate this sander unless a dust
collector is in place. Sanding dust exhaust may create a
breathinghazard.
Attaching Sanding Discs (Fig.D)
Your sander is designed to use 125 mm sanding discs
10
with
an 8-hole dust extraction pattern. Sanding discs for the DCW210
attach with hook andloop.
To Attach Sanding Disc to the Sanding Pad
(Fig.D)
1. Turn the sander over so that the sanding pad
6
is
facingupward.
2. Clean the dust from the sanding pad
6
face.
3. Hold the pad with one hand to keep it fromrotating.
4. With the other hand, align the holes and place the sanding
disc
10
directly on top of thepad.
NOTE: These sanders are not to be used in drywall applications.
Using a sanding screen (e.g., screen used for sanding drywall)
directly on the hook and loop pad will not hold and will damage
the hooks on the pad. The hooks on the pad will wear very
rapidly if left in contact with the work surface while the tool
isoperating.
Switch (Fig.A)
To turn the unit on, depress the side of the dust-protected
switch
1
that corresponds to the symbol “I”. To turn the tool
off, depress the side of the switch that corresponds to the
symbol“O”.
Speed Control Dial (Fig.A)
The speed control dial
2
, shown in FigureA, allows you
to increase or decrease speed from 8000–12000 Orbits Per
Minute. The optimal speed setting for each application is very
much dependent on personal preference. Generally, you will
want to use a higher setting on harder materials and a lower
setting on softer materials. Material removal rate increases as
speedincreases.
Dust Extraction (Fig.A, E, G)

WARNING: Since woodworking with a sander produces
dust, always install a dust bag designed in compliance
with the applicable directives regarding dustemission.

WARNING: Do not use a dust bag or vacuum extractor
without proper spark protection when sandingmetal.
Your sander has two dust extraction methods: a built-in port
3
which allows either the supplied dust bag
4
or a shop vacuum
system to be connected; and a dust skirt (
11
, Fig.G). The
built-in port utilizes the
DeWALT
airlock connection making
it compatible with the
DeWALT
dust extractor and airlock
accessoryDWV9000.
To Attach the Dust Bag
1. While holding the sander, fit the dust bag collar
5
to the
dust port
3
as shown in FigureE.
2. Turn the collar
5
clockwise to lock the dust bag
4
inplace.
To Empty the Dust Bag
NOTE: Be sure to wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing thisprocedure.
