Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings.

Warning! Read all safety warnings and

all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fi re and/or
serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in all of the

warnings listed below refers to your mains
operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

and dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
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. Unmodifi ed 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 if your 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 residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an

RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Note: The term “Residual Curent Device

(RCD)” can be replaced by “Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)” or by “Earth
Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB)”.

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 infl uence 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, non-skid 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 fi nger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A wrench

5

ENGLISH

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 at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewellery 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 these devices can 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 tools 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.

5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by

a qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure

that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

6. Electrical safety

Your tool is double insulated; therefore
no earth wire is required. Always check
that the main voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate.

Warning! If the power cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
authorized Black & Decker Service
Center or an equally qualifi ed person in
order to avoid damage or injury. If the
power cord is replaced by an equally
qualifi ed person, but not authorized by
Black & Decker, the warranty will not be
valid.

Additional Specifi c Safety Rules
Safety Instructions for All Operations

• This power tool is intended to function
as a polisher. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifi cations
provided with this power tool. Failure to

follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.

• Operations such as grinding, sanding,

wire brushing, or cutting-off are not
recommended to be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the power

tool was not designed may create a hazard
and cause personal injury.

• Do not use accessories which are not

specifi cally designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the

6

ENGLISH

accessory can be attached to your power tool,
it does not assure safe operation.

• The rated speed of the accessory must

be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories

running faster than their rated speed can break
and fl y apart.

• The outside diameter and the thickness of

your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized

accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.

• Threaded mounting of accessories must

match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by fl anges, the
arbour hole of the accessory must fi t the
locating diameter of the fl ange. Accessories

that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.

• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before

each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If power tool or accessory is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory and run the power
tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally

break apart during this test time.

• Wear personal protective equipment.

Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye protection

must be capable of stopping fl ying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of fi ltering
particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.

• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.

Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fl y away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory

may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and shock the operator.

• Use clamps or another practical way to

secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand

or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.

• Position the cord clear of the spinning
accessory. If you lose control, the cord may
be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning accessory.

• Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.

• Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing,
pulling the accessory into your body.

• Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents.
The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of
powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

• Do not operate the power tool near
fl ammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.

• Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged polisher pad or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of
the rotating accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction
opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of
the binding.

For example, if an polisher pad is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel
that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb
out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Abrasive wheels may also break under these
conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as
given below.
