GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Use in well ventilated areas only.
•Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation 
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
•When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents cover moving parts and should be avoided.
•Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
•Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
•Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
•Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
Use of Extension Cords
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.

Operating Your Belt Sander
To start your belt sander, depress the on/off switch as shown in Figure 1. To stop your belt sander release the on/off switch. For continuous operation, depress the on/off switch then depress the lock-on button (Figure 2) and release the on/off switch. To stop your belt sander, depress the on/off switch to release the lock-on button. Release the on/off switch.
Changing The Sanding Belt
BEFORE INSTALLING A BELT, UNPLUG THE BELT SANDER.
Pull the lever shown in Figure 3 to release the tension on the sanding belt. Pull the sanding belt from the two rollers. Put the new sanding belt in position on the front and rear rollers (Figure 4). Ensure that the arrows on the sanding belt and on your belt sander are pointing in the same direction. Push the lever to the rear to tension the sanding belt.
Adjusting The Sanding Belt Tracking
Your belt sander has an automatic sanding belt tracking device. No adjustment is required.
Dust Collection
BEFORE INSTALLING THE DUSTBAG, UNPLUG THE BELT SANDER.
When using your belt sander, dust and grit are produced. It is important to use a dustbag. Connect the dustbag by locating the nozzle of the bag onto the dust collection port of the belt sander as shown in Figure 5 and firmly pushing on using the wire frame of the dust collection bag. To remove the bag, unplug the belt sander and pull the the plastic nozzle from the dust collection port.
WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce risk, empty bag frequently and strictly follow sander manual and coating manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dustbag or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dustmask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your belt sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
Sanding Lead Base 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:
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.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) 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.
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.
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.
Handy Hints
•Always start your belt sander before it is in contact with the workpiece and do not switch it off until after it has been lifted from the workpiece.
•Always hold your belt sander with two hands.
•Where possible, clamp the workpiece to a work bench or similar sturdy surface.
•Use the correct grit sanding belt for your application. The following is a suggested list of belt grits to use with different materials.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT : Lire et comprendre toutes les directives. Le non-respect de toutes les directives suivantes présente des risques de secousses électriques, d'incendie ou de blessures graves.
CONSERVER CES MESURES.
ZONE DE TRAVAIL
•S'assurer que la zone de travail est propre et bien éclairée. Des établis encombrés et des endroits sombres présentent des risques d'accidents.
•Ne pas utiliser des outils électriques en présence de vapeurs explosives (comme celles dégagées par des liquides, des gaz ou des poussières inflammables). Les étincelles générées par le moteur des outils électriques peuvent enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.
•Éloigner les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs de la zone de travail lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique. Une distraction peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise de l'outil.
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIVES À L'ÉLECTRICITÉ
•Les outils à double isolation comportent une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que l'autre). La fiche n'entre que d'une façon dans une prise polarisée. Lorsque la fiche n'entre pas à fond dans la prise, essayer de nouveau après avoir inversé les broches de la fiche. Si la fiche n'entre toujours pas dans la prise, communiquer avec un électricien certifié afin de faire installer une prise polarisée. Ne modifier en aucune
façon la fiche. La double isolation 
élimine le besoin d'un cordon trifilaire mis à la terre et d'un système d'alimentation mis à la terre.
•Éviter de toucher à des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Les risques de secousses électriques sont plus élevés si le corps de l'utilisateur est mis à la terre.
•Protéger les outils électriques de la pluie ou des conditions mouillées. Une infiltration d'eau dans l'outil augmente les risques de secousses électriques.
•Manipuler le cordon avec soin. Ne jamais se servir du cordon afin de transporter l'outil ni tirer sur le cordon pour débrancher l'outil. Éloigner le cordon des sources de chaleur, des flaques d'huile, des arêtes tranchantes et des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés. Les cordons endommagés augmentent les risques de secousses électriques.
•Lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique à l'extérieur, se servir d'un cordon de rallonge prévu pour l'extérieur, portant la mention "W-A" ou "W". Ces cordons sont conçus pour servir à l'extérieur et minimisent les risques de secousses électriques.
SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE
•Demeurer vigilant, prendre soin et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique. Ne pas s'en servir lorsqu'on est fatigué ou affaibli par des drogues, de l'alcool ou des médicaments. De graves blessures peuvent résulter d'un moment d'inattention lors de l'utilisation d'un outil électrique.
•Porter des vêtements appropriés. Éviter de porter des vêtements amples ou des bijoux. Recouvrir la chevelure si elle est longue. Éloigner les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants des pièces en mouvement qui peuvent les happer.
•Éviter les démarrages accidentels. S'assurer que l'interrupteur est en position hors tension avant de brancher l'outil.Afin d'éviter les risques de blessures, ne pas transporter l'outil avec le doigt sur l'interrupteur ni brancher un outil dont l'interrupteur est en position sous tension.
•Enlever les clés de réglage avant de mettre l'outil sous tension. Une clé qui est laissée sur une pièce rotative de l'outil présente des risques de blessures.
•Ne pas dépasser sa portée. Garder son équilibre en tout temps. On s'assure d'une meilleure maîtrise de l'outil dans des situations imprévues grâce à une position stable et un bon équilibre.
•Porter de l'équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité. Dans certaines conditions, il faut porter des masques respiratoires, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protège-tympans.
UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L'OUTIL
•Utiliser des pinces de serrage ou de tout autre moyen pratique afin de fixer et de soutenir la pièce à ouvrer sur une plate-forme stable. La pièce est instable lorsqu'elle est retenue par la main ou le corps de l'utilisateur. Cela présente des risques de perte de maîtrise de l'outil.
•Ne pas forcer l'outil. Utiliser l'outil approprié à la tâche.L'outil approprié fonctionne mieux et sûrement lorsqu'on s'en sert à son rendement nominal.
•Ne pas se servir de l'outil lorsque l'interrupteur est défectueuxLe. cas échéant, l'outil est dangereux et il faut le réparer.
•Débrancher l'outil de la source d'alimentation avant de le régler, d'en remplacer les accessoires ou de le ranger. On minimise de la sorte le risque de démarrage accidentel de l'outil.
•Ranger l'outil hors de portée des enfants et de toute autre personne qui n'en connaît pas le fonctionnement. L'outil est dangereux entre les mains de ces personnes.
•Prendre soin des outils. S'assurer que les outils de coupe sont tranchants et propres.
Des outils bien entretenus à arêtes tranchantes ont moins tendance à se coincer et ils se maîtrisent mieux.
•Vérifier l'alignement et les attaches des pièces mobiles, le degré d'usure des pièces ainsi que tout autre facteur susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l'outil. Faire réparer un outil endommagé avant de s'en servir. Des outils mal entretenus sont la cause de nombreux accidents.
•Utiliser seulement les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant. Des accessoires qui conviennent à un outil peuvent présenter des risques avec un autre outil.
ENTRETIEN
•Confier l'entretien de l'outil seulement à du personnel qualifié.Le non-respect de la présente directive présente des risques de blessures.
•Lors de l'entretien de l'outil, utiliser seulement des pièces de rechange identiques. Respecter les consignes relatives à l'entretien du présent guide d'utilisation.Il y a risque de secousses électriques ou de blessures lorsqu'on utilise des pièces non autorisées ou lorsqu'on ne respecte pas les consignes relatives à l'entretien.
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ ADDITIONNELLES
•Saisir les surfaces isolées de l'outil lorsqu'on s'en sert là où il pourrait y avoir des fils sous tension et lorsqu'il pourrait entrer en contact avec son propre fil. En cas de contact avec un fil sous tension, les composantes métalliques à découvert de l'outil deviendraient sous tension et l'utilisateur subirait des secousses électriques.
AVERTISSEMENT : Certains outils, tels que les sableuses électriques, les scies, les meules, les perceuses ou certains autres outils de construction, peuvent soulever de la poussière contenant des produits chimiques susceptibles d’entraîner le cancer, des malformations congénitales ou pouvant être nocifs pour le système reproductif. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :
