GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTUREREFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
powertool.
1) Work Area Safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas inviteaccidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust orfumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
2) Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electricshock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed orgrounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electricshock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electricshock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electricshock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electricshock.
3) Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personalinjury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personalinjuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch on
invitesaccidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personalinjury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpectedsituations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in movingparts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-relatedhazards.

ENGLISH
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of asecond.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
wasdesigned.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must berepaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
toolaccidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers.
e) Maintain power tools and accesories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained powertools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardoussituation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpectedsituations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another batterypack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create
a risk of injury andfire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or afire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk
ofinjury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130 °C may causeexplosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.
Additional Safety Instructions for Sanders
• Always secure the workpiece by a clamping device or in
a bench vise in such a manner that it cannot move while
beingmachined.
• Always wear eye protection and a respirator
whensanding.
• Sanding of lead-based paint is not recommended. See
Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint for additional
information before sandingpaint.
• Do not operate the unit without the dust collection bag
or dust collectionsystem.
• Do not overload the machine by pressing with excessive
force! The best sanding results are achieved with moderate
application pressure. The sanding capacity and quality are
mainly dependent on the selection of the correctabrasive.
• Clean your tool outperiodically.

resin coated surfaces such as polyurethane, varnish,
shellac, etc. Dispose of coated dust particles according to the
finish manufacturer’s guidelines, or place in a metal can with
a tight-fitting metal lid. Remove coated dust particles from the
premises daily. The accumulation of fine sanding dust particles
may self ignite and causefire.
• Replace a worn or damaged belt when it causes high
tool rpm. High tool rpm caused by a worn out belt may
result in separation of sanding pad from the sander, possibly
causing personal injury. For instructions on replacing the
belt, see Replacing the Sanding Pad and the Belt
underMaintenance.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:

28
ENGLISH
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before inserting
batterypack.
2. Insert the battery pack7 into the charger, making sure the
battery pack is fully seated in the charger. The red (charging)
light will blink repeatedly indicating that the charging
process hasstarted.
3. The completion of charge will be indicated by the red
light remaining ON continuously. The battery pack is fully
charged and may be used at this time or left in the charger.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, push the
battery release button8 on the batterypack.

Charge Indicators
Charging
Fully Charged
Hot/Cold Pack Delay*
*The red light will continue to blink, but a yellow indicator light
will be illuminated during this operation. Once the battery pack
has reached an appropriate temperature, the yellow light will
turn off and the charger will resume the chargingprocedure.
The compatible charger(s) will not charge a faulty battery pack.
The charger will indicate faulty battery by refusing tolight.
NOTE: This could also mean a problem with acharger.
If the charger indicates a problem, take the charger and battery
pack to be tested at an authorised servicecentre.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too
cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending
charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate
temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the
pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery
packlife.
A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm
battery pack. The battery pack will charge at that slower rate
throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to
maximum charge rate even if the battery packwarms.
The DCB118 charger is equipped with an internal fan designed
to cool the battery pack. The fan will turn on automatically
when the battery pack needs to be cooled. Never operate the
charger if the fan does not operate properly or if ventilation slots
are blocked. Do not permit foreign objects to enter the interior
of thecharger.
Electronic Protection System
XR Li-Ion tools are designed with an Electronic Protection
System that will protect the battery pack against overloading,
overheating or deepdischarge.
The tool will automatically turn off if the Electronic Protection
System engages. If this occurs, place the lithium-ion battery
pack on the charger until it is fullycharged.
Wall Mounting
These chargers are designed to be wall mountable or to sit
upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting, locate the
charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and away from a
corner or other obstructions which may impede air flow. Use
the back of the charger as a template for the location of the
mounting screws on the wall. Mount the charger securely using
drywall screws (purchased separately) at least 25.4mm long
with a screw head diameter of 7–9mm, screwed into wood to
an optimal depth leaving approximately 5.5mm of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in theslots.
Charger Cleaning Instructions
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using a

buildings in summer).
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can

30
ENGLISH
explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and materials are created when
lithium-ion battery packs areburned.
• If battery contents come into contact with the skin,
immediately wash area with mild soap and water. If
battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water over the open eye
for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention
is needed, the battery electrolyte is composed of a mixture of
liquid organic carbonates and lithiumsalts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory
irritation. Provide fresh air. If symptoms persists, seek
medicalattention.
WARNING: Burn hazard. Battery liquid may be flammable
if exposed to spark orflame.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery pack for
any reason. If battery pack case is cracked or damaged,
do not insert into charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that
has received a sharp blow, been dropped, run over or
damaged in any way (i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with
a hammer, stepped on). Electric shock or electrocution
may result. Damaged battery packs should be returned to
service centre forrecycling.
WARNING: Fire hazard. Do not store or carry the
battery pack so that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For example, do not place
the battery pack in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit
boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails, screws, keys,etc.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side on
a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping
or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs
will stand upright on the battery pack but may be easily
knockedover.
Transportation
WARNING: Fire hazard. Transporting batteries can
possibly cause fire if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials. When
transporting batteries, make sure that the battery
terminals are protected and well insulated from materials
that could contact them and cause a shortcircuit.
NOTE: Lithium-ion batteries should not be put in
checkedbaggage.
DeWALT
batteries comply with all applicable shipping
regulations as prescribed by industry and legal standards which
include UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous
Goods Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods
(IMDG) Regulations, and the European Agreement Concerning
The International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).
Lithium-ion cells and batteries have been tested to section 38.3
of the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods Manual of Tests andCriteria.
In most instances, shipping a
DeWALT
battery pack will be
excepted from being classified as a fully regulated Class 9
Hazardous Material. In general, only shipments containing a
lithium-ion battery with an energy rating greater than 100 Watt
Hours (Wh) will require being shipped as fully regulated Class 9.
All lithium-ion batteries have the Watt Hour rating marked on
the pack. Furthermore, due to regulation complexities,
DeWALT
does not recommend air shipping lithium-ion battery packs
alone regardless of Watt Hour rating. Shipments of tools with
batteries (combo kits) can be air shipped as excepted if the Watt
Hour rating of the battery pack is no greater than 100Whr.
Regardless of whether a shipment is considered excepted
or fully regulated, it is the shipper's responsibility to consult
the latest regulations for packaging, labeling/marking and
documentationrequirements.
The information provided in this section of the manual is
provided in good faith and believed to be accurate at the time
the document was created. However, no warranty, expressed or
implied, is given. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure that its
activities comply with the applicableregulations.
Transporting the FLEXVOLTTM Battery
The
DeWALT
FLEXVOLTTM battery has two modes: Use
andTransport.
Use Mode: When the FLEXVOLTTM battery stands alone or is in
a
DeWALT
18V product, it will operate as an 18V battery. When
the FLEXVOLTTM battery is in a 54V or a 108V (two 54V batteries)
product, it will operate as a 54Vbattery.
Transport Mode: When the cap is attached to the FLEXVOLTTM
battery, the battery is in Transport mode. Keep the cap for
shipping.
When in Transport mode,
strings of cells are electrically
disconnected within the pack
resulting in 3 batteries with a
lower Watt hour (Wh) rating as compared to 1 battery with a
higher Watt hour rating. This increased quantity of 3 batteries
with the lower Watt hour rating can exempt the pack from
certain shipping regulations that are imposed upon the higher
Watt hourbatteries.
For example, the Transport Example of Use and Transport Label Marking
Wh rating might indicate
3x36 Wh, meaning 3
batteries of 36 Wh each.
The Use Wh rating might indicate 108Wh (1battery implied).
Storage Recommendations
1. The best storage place is one that is cool and dry away
from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For optimum
battery performance and life, store battery packs at room
temperature when not inuse.
2. For long storage, it is recommended to store a fully charged
battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for
optimalresults.
NOTE: Battery packs should not be stored completely
depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged
beforeuse.
Labels on Charger and Battery Pack
In addition to the pictographs used in this manual, the
labels on the charger and the battery pack may show the

Fuel Gauge Battery Packs
Some
DeWALT
battery packs include a fuel gauge which
consists of three green LED lights that indicate the level of
charge remaining in the batterypack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel gauge button.
A combination of the three green LED lights will illuminate
designating the level of charge left. When the level of charge
in the battery is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to berecharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the charge left on
the battery pack. It does not indicate tool functionality and is
subject to variation based on product components, temperature
and end-userapplication.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
and change gradually to finer and finer paper. Vacuum and
wipe surface with a tack cloth between grit steps. Your sander is
designed to sand into small or confined areas. Its small size and
light weight make it ideal for overheadwork.
The rate at which the dust collection bag fills up will vary with
the type of material being sanded and the coarseness of the
sandpaper. For best results, empty the bag frequently. When
sanding painted surfaces, (see the following for additional
precautions when sanding paint) you may find that the
sandpaper loads up and clogs with paint. A heat gun will work
much better to remove paint before sanding. FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN HEAT GUN INSTRUCTIONMANUAL.
Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint
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.
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:
1. PERSONAL SAFETY
-No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding is being done until all
clean up iscompleted.
-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.
See your local hardware store for the proper NIOSH-
approved dustmask.
-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.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
-Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dustgenerated.
-Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 milsthickness.
-Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the workarea.
3. CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
-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.
-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.
-All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
children should be washed thoroughly before being
usedagain.

Replacing the Sanding Pad and the Belt
(Fig. G)
Your sander is equipped with a replaceable belt13 which
is located between the pad6 and the sander body12. It is
designed to control the pad speed while the unit is off the work
surface. The belt and the sanding pad6 are designed to be
consumable parts and will occasionally need to be replaced. The
sanding pad needs replacement when signs of wear become
evident. Replacement of the belt is necessary when the pad
speed increases very dramatically when the unit is lifted from
the work surface. These parts are available at extra cost from
your local dealer or authorised
DeWALT
servicecentre.
1. Holding the platen firmly, remove the four screws14 from
the bottom of thepad.
2. Remove the pad6.
3. Replace worn or damaged belt13 by wrapping it around
the shoulder screw15 and bearing retainer16 as shown
in FigureG.
4. Reinstall pad (replace with new pad if necessary). Replace
the four screws14. Be careful not to over-tightenscrews.
