General Power Tool Safety
Warnings
z_WARNING: Read all safety
warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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 thedust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock ffyour body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock:
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock:
e) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock:
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a
rOUnd fault circuit interrupter
FCl) protected supply. Use of a
GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock:
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust
mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off
position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
toot on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
powertoolinunexpectedsituations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation, if damaged,
have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits, etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of
the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
_SAFETY WARNINGS AND
iNSTRUCTiONS: SANDERS
• ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.
• Clean your tool out periodically.
z_WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• bead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
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 welt 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.
z_CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing
protection during use. Under some condi-
tions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.
OTHER iMPORTANT SAFETY
WARNINGS AND iNSTRUCTiONS
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 toss 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 beadpoisoning 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.

3. Dust port
4. Canister
MOTOR
Your BLACK+DECKER toot is powered by
a BLACK+DECKER-built motor. Be sure
your power supply agrees with nameplate
marking. 120 Volts AC only means your toot
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 wilt 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 toot does not operate,
check the power supply.

Z_WARNING: Always unplug sander from
power supply before any of the following
operations.
ATTACHING HOOK AND LOOP
SANDING DISCS (FIGURE B)
Your sander is designed to use 5" (127mm)
sanding discs with the 8 hole dust
extraction pattern. For best results, use
BLACK+DECKER accessories.
• To attach the sanding disc (5), carefully
center it over the sanding pad (2) ensuring
the holes in the disc align with the holes in
the pad and press the disc firmly in place.
• The hook and loop fastening system sanding
disc can be easily removed bysimply pulling

OPERATING iNSTRUCTiONS
z_WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, read, understand and follow
all important safety warnings and
instructions prior to using this tool.
SWITCH
To turn the tool ON, hold it as shown in
Figure C and push the portion of the switch
(1) marked 'T'. To turn the toot off, push the
portion of the switch marked "O"
OPERATION
Grasp the sander and turn it ON. Move it in
long, sweeping strokes along the surface,
letting it do the work. Pushing down on the
toot while sanding actually slows the removal
rate and produces an inferior quality finish.
Check your work often. This sander is
capable of removing material rapidly.
DUST COLLECTION (FIGURE D)
Z_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
canister (4) to collect the dust generated
while sanding.
• To attach the canister to the sander, line
up the grooves (6) in the canister (4) with
the hubs (7) on the dust port (3). Ensure
the longer side (8) of the canister opening
is on the top side of the port.
• Slide the canister onto the dust port and
turn the canister clockwise to lock it in
place as shown in the insert of Figure D.
• To remove, turn the canister
counterclockwise and slide the canister off.
• To empty the canister, remove it from the
dust port and dump the sanding debris
into an appropriate trash receptacle.

SI=CURIT¢: GENI=RAUX POUR
LES OUTILS ELECTRIQUES
/_ AVERTISSEMENT • Life tous les
avertissements de securit6 et
toutes les directives. Le non-
respect des avertissements et des
directives pourrait se solder par un
choc electrique, un incendie et/ou
une blessure grave.
Conserver tous les avertissements
et toutes les directives pour un
usage ulterieur.
Leterme <<outilelectrique>>cite dans
les avertissements se rapporte a votre
outil electrique a alimentation sur
secteur (avec ill) ou par piles (sans ill).
1) Securit6 du lieu de travail
a) Tenir la zone de travail propre et
bien eclair6e. Les endroits sombres
sont souvent des causes d'accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d'outils
electriques dans un milieu
deflagrant, soit en presence de
iiquides inflammables, de gaz ou
de poussiere. Les outils 61ectriques
produisent des _tincelles qui peuvent
enflammer la poussi_re ou les vapeurs.
c) Eloigner ies enfants et les curieux au
moment d'utiliser un outil electrique.
Une distraction pourrait vous en faire
perdre la maftrise.
2) Securit6 en matiere d'electricit6
a) Les fiches des outils electriq.ues
doivent correspondre a la prise.
Ne jamais modifier la fiche en
aucune fagon. Ne jamais utiiiser
de fiche d'adaptation avec un outii
6#ectrique mis a la terre. Le risque
de choc _lectrique sera r6duit par
I'utilisation de fiches non modifi_es
correspondant D la prise.
b) Eviter tout contact physique avec
des surfaces raises a la terre comme
des tuy.aux, des radiateurs, des
cuJsmleres et des refrig6rateurs. Le
risque de choc 61ectrique est plus 61ev6
si votre corps est mis 9 la terre.
c) Ne pas exposer les outils electriques
la pluie ou a d'autres conditions ou
il pourrait _tre mouille. La p_n_tration
de I'eau dans un outil 61ectnque
augmente le risque de choc _tectrique.
d) Ne pas utiliser abusivement le
cordon d'alimentation. Ne jamais
utiliser le cordon pour transporter,
tirer ou debrancher un outit
electrique. Tenir le cordon eloign6
de Is chaleur, de I'huile, des bords
tranchants ou des pieces mobiles.
Les cordons endommag6s ou
emm_16s augmentent les risques de
choc _lectrique.
e) Pour I'utilisation d'un outil
electrique a I'exterieur, se servir
d'une ratlonge
convenant a une telle utilisation.
L'utilisation d'une rallonge conGue
pour I'ext_rieur r6duit les risques de
choc _lectrique.
f) S'il est impossible d'eviter
I'utilisation d'un outil electrique
darts un endroit humide, brancher
I'outil darts une prise ou sur un
circuit d'alimentation dotes d'un
disjoncteur de fuite a Is terre (GFCl).
L'utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur
r6duit les risques de choc 61ectrique.
3) Securit6 personnelle
a) _=trevigilant, surveiller le travail
effectue et faire preuve de jugement
Iorsqu'un outil electrique est utilise.
Ne pas utiliser d'outil electrique en
cas de fatigue ou sous I'influence
de drogues, d'alcool ou de
medicaments. Un simple moment
d'inattention en utilisant un outil
61ectriquepeut entrafner des blessures
corporelles graves.
b) Utiliser des equipements de
protection individuelle. Toujours
porter une protection oculaire.
L'utilisation d'equipements de.p.rotection
comme un masque antipouss#ere, des
chaussures antiderapantes, un casque
de s6curite ou des protecteurs auditifs
Iorsque la situation le requiert reduira les
risques de blessures corporelles.
c) Emp_cher les demarrages
intempestifs. S'assurer que
i'interrupteur se trouve a la p.osition
d'arr_t avant de relier I'outil a une
source d'alimentation et/ou d'inserer
un bloc-piles, de ramasser ou de
transporter I'outil. Transporter un outil
_lectrique alors que le doigt repose
sur I'interrupteur ou brancher un outil
_lectrique dont I'interrupteur est _ la
position de marche risque de provoquer
un accident.
d) Retirer toute cle de reglage ou cle
standard avant de demarrer I'outil.
Une cl_ standard ou une ct_ de r_glage
attach_e _ une partie pivotante peut
causer des blessures.
e) Ne pas trop tendre les bras.
Conserver son equilibre en tout
temps. Cela permet de mieux
ma_triser Ibutil _lectrique dans les
situations impr_vues.
f) S'habiller de maniere appropriee.
Ne pas porter de v_tements amples
ni de bijoux. Garder les cheveux,
les v_tements et les gants a I'ecart
