IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: When using Electric Tools, basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the
following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power tools to rain.
Don't use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit.
3. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area. Do not
let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
5. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or
locked-up place—out of reach of children.
6. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
intended.
7. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavyduty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended, for example, don’t use circular
saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
8. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
the moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended when
working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dustmask if operation is dusty.
10. DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
11. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand
and frees both hands to operate tool.
12. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safe
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect
tool cords periodically and if damaged have repaired by authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged, keep handles dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.
14. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, and when changing
accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.
15. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see
that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
16. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry plugged-in tool with finger on
switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
17. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only
extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
18. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool
when you are tired.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated
elsewhere in this instruction manual. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and
off.
20. DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools near flammable liquids or in gaseous or
explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks might
ignite fumes.
SAVE THESE SAFETY RULES
FOR FUTURE USE.

Special Safety
Instructions For Sanders
Always wear eye protection and a
respirator when sanding.
See page 8 for special caution
concerning the removal of lead based
paint.
Double Insulation
Your Sander is DOUBLE-INSU
LATED to give you added safety. This
means that it is constructed throughout
with TWO separate “layers” of electrical
insulation or one DOUBLE thickness of
insulation between you and the tool’s
electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation
system are not intended to be grounded.
As a result, your Sander is equipped with
a two-prong plug which permits you to
use extension cords without concern for
maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: DOUBLE-INSULATION
does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The
insulation system is for added protection
against injury resulting from a possible
electrical insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION: When servicing Double
Insulated Tools. USE ONLY IDENTICAL
REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or
replace damaged cords.
Extension Cords
Double Insulated tools have 2 wire cords, and can be used with 2 wire or 3 wire
extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we
recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada).
If the extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any
cord marked as outdoor can also be used for indoor work. The letters “WA” on the cord
jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge)
for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be
sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart below:
Tool Care
Keep your machine as clean as
possible by wiping with a clean cloth and
occasionally blowing through with air.
Don't use harsh chemicals or
solvents to clean the tool. These
chemicals could seriously damage the
plastic.
Avoid overloading your sander.
Overloading will result in a considerable
reduction in speed and efficiency and the
unit will become hot. In this event, run
sander at a “no load” condition for a
minute or two.
Brush Replacement
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE
SANDER
To replace the tool's brushes, remove
the three screws located in the top cap,
as shown in Figure 9. Lift off the top
cap. Observe the brush holders, as
shown in Figure 10 and the wires
leading from the brushes to the motor
field.
Pull the wires from iriu motor field and
then lift and hold oul of the way one of
the brush springs. Remove the old brush
from the brush holder and discard the
brush/wire assembly. Slil! holding the
brush spring out of the way, insert the
new brush, release the spring against
the back of the brush and plug the wire
into the motor field. Repeat the proce
dure for the second brush.
Replace the top cap and tighten the
three screws that hold it in place.
(Always replace both brushes.)

Motor
Your Black & Decker tool is
powered by a B & D built motor. Be sure
your power supply agrees with the
nameplate marking. (Volts, 120 AC only)
Voltage decrease of more than 10%
will cause loss of power and overheating.
Ail B & D tools are factory tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power
supply.
SAVE THESE
Operation
To operaie your sander. grasp it as
siiown on the froni cover of this manual
and turn it on. Movo it in long, sweeping
strokes along the r-urface being sanded,
letting it do the work. Pushing down on
the tool while sanciiiig 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.
Your sander is designed to sand
flush on three sides (four sides without
the dust collection bag) for sanding in
corners, and its small size and light
weight make it ideal for overhead work.
The orbital action of your sander
allows you to sand with the grain or at
any angle across it for most sanding
jobs. On the final sanding steps, as
discussed below, a better finish will result
if you sand only with the grain.
To produce the best finish possible,
start with coarse grit sandpaper and
change gradually to finer and finer paper.
A final sanding with a piece of well worn
fine sandpaper will produce a really
professional lookifig finish that in many
cases will need no hand sanding at all.
The rate at which the dust collection
bag will fill up will vary with the type of
material being sanded and the coarse
ness of the sandpaper. For best results,
empty the bag frequently and check the
dust door opening for clogging.
When sanding painted surfaces,
you may find that the sandpaper loads
up and clogs with paint. A Black &
Decker Heat Gun will work much better
to remove paint before sanding.
FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IN HEAT GUN INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
CAUTION: EXTREME CARE
MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN
SANDING OR STRIPPING LEAD BASE
PAINTS! SEAL AREAS WHERE
THESE OPERATIONS ARE PER
FORMED AND WEAR PROTECTIVE
BREATHING APPARATUS. DO NOT
SMOKE, DRINK OR EAT IN AREAS
WHERE PAINT SANDING OR STRIP
PING IS DONE AND DO NOT LET
VISITORS IN. LEAD FUMES AND
SANDING DUST CONTAINING LEAD
PARTICLES ARE EXTREMELY
POISONOUS, ESPECIALLY TO
CHILDREN.
