Black & Decker 587892-00, FS4000ROS User Manual

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

• 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 may 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. Awrench 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 tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel 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. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Specific Safety Rules

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con-

struction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

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

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA). Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work 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 power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,

and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may

promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause

serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved

respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

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

and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss. The label on your tool may include the following symbols.

Other Important Safety Warnings and Instructions

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.

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.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Operating Instructions

WARNING: To prevent accidental operation, turn off and unplug sander before

performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in personal injury.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, read, understand and follow all

important safety warnings and instructions prior to using this tool.

Assembly

Fitting sanding sheets (figure 2)

Press the sheet firmly and evenly onto the sanding platen (5), making sure that the holes in the sheet line up with the holes in the base. Never use the tool without a sanding sheet or accessory in place.

Dust extraction (figure 3)

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.

Your sander comes equipped with a cloth dustbag to collect the dust generated while sanding. To attach the dustbag onto the sander simply slide it firmly into the dust extraction port at the back of the sander.

To empty the dust dustbag, remove it from the sander by pulling it straight back. Dump the sanding debris into an appropriate trash receptacle.

You may, if you prefer, attach a vacuum cleaner to the tool to collect the dust as you sand. A vacuum hose adaptor is available as a service part at extra cost. To find your nearest

Black & Decker Service Center location, refer to the yellow pages directory under "Tools—Electric" or call: 1-800-54-HOW-TO (544-6986).

To use the adaptor, remove the dust bag and replace it with the adaptor, then install a vacuum hose. Ensure that the vacuum cleaner can be placed such that it will not tip over or interfere with the motion of the sander. If this cannot be done, do not use the vacuum cleaner. Turn on the vacuum cleaner before beginning to sand and turn it off after turning off the sander. Empty vacuum cleaner as required.

Connecting a vacuum cleaner (figure 4)

Insert the hose (11) of the vacuum cleaner into the dust extraction port (4).

Holding the sander (figure 5)

Hold the sander with two hands, one on the auxillary handle in the front of the unit and the other on the handle.

Operation

Variable speed control

The variable speed control allows you to adapt the speed of the tool to the workpiece material. Set the control knob (3) to the desired setting. Use a high speed for wood, medium speed for veneer and synthetics and low speed for acrylic glass, non-ferrous metals and for removing paints.

Switching on and off

To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1). For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2) and release the on/off switch. To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch. To switch the tool off when in continuous operation, press the on/off switch once more and release it.

Automatic brake system

This feature keeps the speed of the platen limited as long as the tool does not touch the workpiece. As soon as the tool is placed on the workpiece, the platen will reach its normal operating speed.

Operation

Grasp the sander and turn it ON. Move it in long, sweeping strokes along the surface, letting it do the work. Utilize an even pressure across the sanding pad. Excessive pressure in the corner area may cause damage. Pushing down on the tool while sanding actually slows the removal rate and produces an inferior quality finish. Check your work often. Sander is capable of removing material rapidly.

Emptying the dustbag

The dustbag should be emptied every 10 minutes. Shake the dustbag to empty the contents.

Hints for optimum use

- Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.

- Regularly check the condition of the sanding disc. Replace when necessary.

- Always sand with the grain of the wood.

- When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.

- On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a smooth finish.

Maintenance / Cleaning

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.

Accessories

Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available from your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance regarding accessories, please call:

1-800-54-HOW TO (1-800-544-6986).

WARNING: The use of any accessory not recommended for use with this tool could be

hazardous.

Règles de sécurité - Généralités

AVERTISSEMENT : Lire, comprendre et suivre toutes les directives précisées

ci-dessous, y compris les consignes de sécurité, afin d’éviter les risques de choc

électrique, d’incendie ou de blessure grave.

CONSERVER LE PRÉSENT GUIDE À TITRE DE RÉFÉRENCE

Aire de travail

• L’aire de travail doit être propre et bien éclairée. Les établis encombrés et les endroits

sombres peuvent entraîner des accidents.

• Ne pas faire fonctionner des outils électriques dans des atmosphères explosives, comme en présence de liquides, de gaz et de poussières inflammables. Les outils

électriques produisent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.

• Tenir les enfants, les visiteurs ou toute autre personne à l’écart lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique; les distractions peuvent faire perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.

Mesures de sécurité – Électricité

• Les outils à double isolation sont munis d’une fiche polarisée (c’est-à-dire que l’une des lames est plus large que l’autre), laquelle ne peut être raccordée qu’à une prise polarisée et ce, dans un seul sens; on doit l’inverser si on est incapable de l’enfoncer complètement. Si la fiche ne s’adapte toujours pas, on doit faire appel à un électricien qualifié pour qu’il installe la prise appropriée. On ne doit jamais modifier la fiche. La double isolation élimine le besoin d’installer un cordon

d’alimentation trifilaire et un système d’alimentation électrique pourvus d’une mise à la terre.

• Éviter tout contact entre le corps et les éléments mis à la terre, comme les tuyaux, les radiateurs, les cuisinières et les réfrigérateurs, afin de réduire les risques de choc

électrique.

• Ne pas utiliser l’outil électrique dans des endroits mouillés, ni l’exposer à la pluie;

l’infiltration d’eau à l’intérieur de l’outil augmente les risques de choc électrique.
