DeWalt 340 instruction manual Assembly, Attaching Stikit Abrasive, Attaching Conventional Abrasive

ASSEMBLY

NOTE: This tool is shipped completely assembled. No assembly time or tools are required. A T20 Torx screwdriver is required to install accessory pads.

ATTACHING STIKIT™ ABRASIVE

STIKIT™ Abrasives are available in pre-cut sheets, or in rolls. A convenient dispenser is also available for the rolls.

To install STIKIT™ abrasive, cut a 41/4" long piece of abrasive from a roll (or use a pre-cut sheet), align abrasive with sander pad and press in place as shown in Fig. 1.

Punch holes in paper (for dust extraction), as instructed in "PAPER PUNCH" section of this manual.

NOTE: DO NOT store Sander with an abrasive disc installed. Heat generated by the sanding operation increases the adhesive bond between the disc and pad. If disc is left on pad for an extended time after use, it can become difficult to remove. If sanding disc is difficult to remove, use the sander on a piece of scrap wood for one to two minutes to warm the paper. This should make removal easier.
