Black & Decker FS1802S, 5106621-06 User Manual

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s 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 create a risk of injury 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

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

• When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay the tool down on its side when not in use. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily knocked over.

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 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.

General Safety Rules - For All Battery Operated Tools

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

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.

Damaged cords may create a fire.

• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. Acharger that may be

suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

• Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

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 in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery

pack into a tool with 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. Atool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position 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.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may

cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Clean your tool out periodically.

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.

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.

BATTERY CAP INFORMATION

Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.

WARNING: Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed

battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.

INTRODUCTION

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK FOR YOUR TOOL.

Your charger is designed to use standard 120 volt AC, 60 Hz power. Do not use DC or any other voltage. Charge time is 3 to 6 hours depending on battery pack type and condition.

CHARGING PROCEDURE

1. Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.

2. Insert 1 or 2 batteries into the charger (Figure A).

NOTE: Charge time is the same for multiple batteries. Be sure the battery is fully seated in the charger. The red “Charging Indicator” light will come on indicating that there is contact between the battery and charger. The light will stay on as long as the battery is in the charger and the charger is plugged into a working outlet. It WILL NOT flash, go out or change to a different color when the charging cycle is complete.

Remove pack from the charger and place in tool. NOTE: To remove the battery from the tool, press down on the release button on the back of the battery (Figure B) and pull out.

LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER

The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the red light glowing indefinitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. NOTE: A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger. If the battery pack has not been kept on maintenance charge, it may need to be recharged before use. A battery pack may also slowly lose its charge if left in a charger that is not plugged into an appropriate AC source.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F(+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.

2. The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem.

3. If the battery pack does not charge properly — (1) Check power at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C). (4) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center.

4. The battery pack should be recharged when it does not produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedures. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.

5. Black & Decker battery packs that are labeled “NiMH” should only be used with chargers labeled “NiMH“ or “NiCd/NiMH.”

6. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.

7. Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ CONCERNANT LES OUTILS À

PILE – 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

• Ne pas utiliser le cordon de manière abusive; on ne doit pas transporter l’outil en le tenant par le cordon. On doit tenir le cordon à l’écart des sources de chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés, car ces derniers peuvent causer un incendie.

• Un outil à piles intégrées ou à bloc-piles externe doit être rechargé seulement au moyen du chargeur approprié, car un chargeur destiné à une pile particulière peut

entraîner un risque d’incendie lorsqu’il est utilisé avec une autre.

• N’utiliser l’outil à piles qu’avec le bloc-piles indiqué, car l’utilisation d’un autre type de piles peut entraîner un risque d’incendie.

Sécurité personnelle

• Rester vigilant en tout temps et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique; ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsqu’on est fatigué ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments, car un moment d’inattention pourrait entraîner des

blessures graves.

• Porter des vêtements appropriés. Ne pas porter des vêtements amples ou des bijoux. Couvrir ou attacher les cheveux longs. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements, les bijoux et

les gants éloignés des pièces mobiles, car ceux-ci peuvent s’y coincer. Se tenir éloigné des évents puisque ces derniers pourraient camoufler des pièces mobiles.

• Éviter les démarrages accidentels; s’assurer que l’interrupteur est en position d’arrêt avant de brancher l’outil. Ne pas transporter l’outil en laissant le doigt sur l’interrupteur ni

le brancher lorsque l’interrupteur est en position de marche, car cela pourrait causer un accident.

• Retirer les clés de réglage avant de démarrer l’outil. Une clé laissée sur une pièce rotative pourrait entraîner des blessures.

• Ne pas trop étendre les bras; les pieds doivent rester ancrés fermement au sol afin de maintenir son équilibre en tout temps et de mieux maîtriser l’outil dans des situations

imprévues.

• Utiliser le matériel de sécurité approprié; toujours porter des lunettes de protection.

Porter un masque anti-poussières, des chaussures antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protecteurs auditifs lorsque la situation le requiert.

Utilisation et entretien de l’outil

• Fixer et soutenir la pièce sur une plate-forme stable au moyen d’une bride de serrage ou de tout autre dispositif semblable. La pièce est instable lorsqu’on la retient manuellement

ou qu’on l’appuie contre le corps, ce qui pourrait faire perdre la maîtrise de l’outil.

• Ne pas forcer l’outil ni l’utiliser pour des travaux autres que ceux pour lesquels il a été conçu. Pour obtenir de meilleurs résultats et prévenir les risques de blessure, laisser

l’outil couper à la vitesse pour laquelle il a été conçu.

• Ne pas utiliser l’outil lorsque l’interrupteur marche-arrêt ne fonctionne pas. Tout outil qui ne peut être commandé au moyen de l’interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.

• Déconnecter le bloc-piles de l'outil ou placer l'interrupteur en position d'arrêt ou de verrouillage avant d'effectuer tout réglage, changement d'accessoires, ou de ranger l'outil. Ces mesures de sécurité préventives réduisent les risques de démarrage accidentel.

• Lorsqu’on n’utilise pas l’outil, le ranger hors de la portée des enfants ou des personnes non qualifiées. Les outils sont dangereux entre les mains de personnes inexpérimentées.

• Lorsqu’on n’utilise pas le bloc-piles, le ranger à l’écart des objets métalliques tels que les trombones, les pièces de monnaie, les clés, les clous, les vis ou autres petits objets susceptibles de conduire l’électricité entre les bornes et d’occasionner ainsi un court-circuit pouvant provoquer des étincelles, des brûlures ou un incendie.

• Bien entretenir l’outil; s’assurer qu’il est toujours bien propre et aiguisé. Les outils

bien entretenus et dont les bords sont bien tranchants sont moins susceptibles de rester coincés et sont plus faciles à maîtriser.

• Vérifier les pièces mobiles afin de s’assurer qu’elles sont bien alignées et qu’elles ne restent pas coincées. Vérifier également les pièces afin de s’assurer qu’il n’y a aucun bris ni aucune autre condition susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l’outil. Faire réparer l’outil si ce dernier est endommagé avant de s’en servir à nouveau, car

les accidents sont souvent causés par des outils mal entretenus.

• N’utiliser que les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant pour le modèle concerné.

Un accessoire destiné à un outil particulier peut devenir dangereux lorsqu’il est utilisé avec un autre.

Entretien

• L’outil doit être entretenu par le personnel qualifié seulement; toute maintenance effectuée par une personne non qualifiée pourrait entraîner des risques de blessure.

• Lors de l’entretien, n’utiliser que des pièces de rechange identiques et suivre les directives précisées à la section « Entretien » du présent guide afin de prévenir les

risques de choc électrique ou de blessure.

Consignes de sécurité particulières

• Tenir l’outil par les surfaces de préhension isolées pour effectuer une opération dans laquelle l’outil de coupe peut entrer en contact de fils cachés ou de son propre cordon. Tout contact avec un fil sous tension met les parties métalliques exposées de l’outil

sous tension et transmet un choc électrique à l’opérateur.

• Lorsqu’on travail sur une échelle ou un échafaudage, on doit déposer l’outil sur le côté lorsqu’on ne s’en sert plus. Bien que certains outils munis d’un gros bloc-piles

puissent être placés à la verticale, dans cette position, ils peuvent facilement être renversés.

AVERTISSEMENT : Certains outils électriques, tels que les sableuses, les scies, les meules, les perceuses ou certains autres outils de construction, peuvent produire de la poussière contenant des produits chimiques susceptibles d’entraîner le cancer, des malformations congénitales ou pouvant être nocifs pour le système reproductif. Parmi ces produits chimiques, on retrouve :

• le plomb dans les peintures à base de plomb,

• la silice cristalline dans les briques et le ciment et autres produits de maçonnerie,

• l’arsenic et le chrome dans le bois de sciage ayant subi un traitement chimique (comme l’arséniate de cuivre et de chrome).

Le risque associé à de telles expositions varie selon la fréquence avec laquelle on effectue ces travaux. Pour réduire l’exposition à de tels produits, il faut travailler dans un endroit bien aéré et utiliser le matériel de sécurité approprié, tel un masque anti-pous sières spécialement conçu pour filtrer les particules microscopiques.

• Éviter tout contact prolongé avec la poussière soulevée par cet outil ou autres outils électriques. Porter des vêtements de protection et nettoyer les parties exposées du corps à l’eau savonneuse. S’assurer de bien se protéger afin d’éviter d’absorber par la

bouche, les yeux ou la peau des produits chimiques nocifs.

AVERTISSEMENT : Cet outil peut produire et répandre de la poussière susceptible de causer des dommages sérieux et permanents au système respiratoire. Toujours utiliser un appareil respiratoire anti-poussières approprié approuvé

par le NIOSH ou l’OSHA. Diriger les particules dans le sens opposé du visage et du corps.

MISE EN GARDE : Porter un appareil de protection personnel anti-bruit

approprié durant l’utilisation. Sous certaines conditions et pendant toute la durée de

l’utilisation, le bruit émanant de ce produit pourrait contribuer à la perte d’audition.

L’étiquette apposée sur l’outil peut afficher les symboles suivants.

Mesures de sécurité : Ponceuses

• TOUJOURS PORTER DES LUNETTES DE SÉCURITÉ.

• Nettoyer l’outil régulièrement.

Autres mesures de sécurité importantes

Ponçage Peintue à base de plomb

IL N’EST PAS RECOMMANDÉ de poncer de la peinture à base de plomb puisqu’il est difficile d’en maîtriser la poussière contaminée. Ce genre de ponçage présente de sérieux risques d’empoisonnement au plomb pour les femmes enceintes et les enfants. Puisqu’il est difficile de déterminer si la peinture renferme du plomb sans en faire une analyse chimique, il est conseillé de se conformer aux mesures suivantes lors du ponçage de tout type de peinture.

Sécurité personnelle

• Ne laisser aucun enfant ni aucune femme enceinte entrer dans la pièce où il y a ponçage de peinture jusqu’à ce que la pièce soit nettoyée.

• Toute personne qui entre dans l’aire de travail doit porter un masque anti-poussière ou un appareil respiratoire; le filtre doit être remplacé chaque jour ou lorsque la respiration devient difficile REMARQUE : seuls les masques qui protègent contre les poussières et les émanations de plomb doivent être utilisés, car les masques ordinaires n’offrent pas la protection voulue.

Maintenance / Cleaning

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage the plastic and gel components. Also do not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinners or similar products. 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.

The RBRC™ Seal

The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel-cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an environmentally conscious alternative. RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickelcadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center or to your local retailer for recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.
