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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

•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.

•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.

•Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other

	condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
	before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•	Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
	Accessories that may be suitable for one	may become hazardous when used on
	another tool.
SERVICE
•	Tool service must be performed only	qualified repair personnel. Service or
	maintenance performed by unqualified	could result in a risk of injury.
•	When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in
	the Maintenance section of this manual.	of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
	Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Safety Warnings and Sanders

•ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

•Clean your tool out periodically.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals

•lead from lead-based paints,

•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-	lumber (CCA).
Your risk from these exposures varies,	on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:	in a well ventilated area, and work with

approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out

microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from	sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear	clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into	mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use. Under some conditions

and duration of use, noise from this	contribute to hearing loss.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord

SANDING LEAD BASED 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.

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 you 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.

MESURES DE SÉ CURITÉ

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 biené clairé e. Des établis encombrés et des endroits sombres présentent des risques d'accidents.

•Ne pas utiliser des outils é lectriques en pré sence de vapeurs explosives (comme celles dé gagé es par des liquides, des gaz ou des poussiè res inflammables). Les étincelles générées par le moteur des outils électriques peuvent enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.

•É loigner les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs de la zone de travail lorsqu'on utilise un outil é lectrique. Une distraction peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise de l'outil.

MESURES DE SÉ CURITÉ RELATIVES À L’É LECTRICITÉ

•Les outils à double isolation comportent une fiche polarisé e (une lame plus large que l'autre). La fiche n'entre que d'uneç onfa dans une prise polarisé e. Lorsque la fiche n'entre pasà fond dans la prise, essayer de nouveau aprè s avoir inversé les broches de la fiche. Si la fiche n'entre toujours pas dans la prise, communiquer avec un

é lectricien certifié afin de faire installer une prise polarisé e. Ne modifier en aucune faç on la fiche. La double isolation élimine le besoin d'un cordon trifilaire misà la terre et d'un système d'alimentation misà la terre.

•É viter de toucher à des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisiniè res et des ré frigé rateurs. Les risques de secousses électriques sont plus élevés si le corps de l'utilisateur est misà la terre.

•Proté ger les outils é lectriques de la pluie ou des conditions mouillé es. Une infiltration d'eau dans l'outil augmente les risques de secoussesélectriques.

•Manipuler le cordon avec soin. Ne jamais se servir du cordon afin de transporter l'outil ni tirer sur le cordon pour dé brancher l'outil.É loigner le cordon des sources de chaleur, des flaques d'huile, des arê tes tranchantes et des piè ces mobiles. Remplacer immé diatement les cordons endommagé s. Les cordons endommagés augmentent les risques de secousses électriques.

•Lorsqu'on utilise un outilé lectrique à l'exté rieur, se servir d'un cordon de rallonge pré vu pour l'exté rieur, portant la mention "W-A" ou "W". Ces cordons sont conçus pour servir à l'extérieur et minimisent les risques de secousses électriques.

SÉ CURITÉ PERSONNELLE

•Ne pas se servir de l’outil lorsqu'on est fatigué ou affaibli par des drogues, de l'alcool ou des mé dicaments. De graves blessures peuvent résulter d'un moment d'inattention lors de l'utilisation d'un outilélectrique.
