Black & Decker 582268-00, MS500 User Manual

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

W ARNING: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 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.

Safety Warnings and Instructions: Sanders

• ALWA YS WEAR EYE PROTECTION.

• Clean your tool out periodically.
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.

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

and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

CAT. NOs. MS500 FORM NO. 582268-00 PRINTED IN U.S.A. (NOV 02-1)

KEY INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW :

• Never operate the sander without a recommended sanding sheet properly
installed on the base.

• The hook and loop pad and individual bases are replaceable parts. If they become
worn, return the unit to a local service center for repair.

• Do not push down—let the sander do the work.

• Extended drywall sanding is not recommended for this product.

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

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.

ENVIRONMENTALSAFETY

• 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.

R

• 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. Arating
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.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ

AVERTISSEMENT : Lire et comprendre toutes les directives. Le non-respect de toutes

les directives suivantes présente des risques de secousses électriques, d'incendie ou de
blessures graves.

CONSERVER CES MESURES.

ZONE DE TRAVAIL

• S'assurer que la zone de travail est propre et bien éclairée. Des établis encombrés et
des endroits sombres présentent des risques d'accidents.

• Ne pas utiliser des outils électriques en présence de vapeurs explosives (comme
celles dégagées par des liquides, des gaz ou des poussières inflammables). Les

étincelles générées par le moteur des outils électriques peuvent enflammer les poussières
ou les vapeurs.

• Éloigner les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs de la zone de travail lorsqu'on utilise
un outil électrique. Une distraction peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise de l'outil.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ RELA TIVES À L ’ÉLECTRICITÉ

• Les outils à double isolation comportent une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que
l'autre). La fiche n'entre que d'une façon dans une prise polarisée. Lorsque la fiche
n'entre pas à fond dans la prise, essayer de nouveau après avoir inversé les broches
de la fiche. Si la fiche n'entre toujours pas dans la prise, communiquer avec un
électricien certifié afin de faire installer une prise polarisée. Ne modifier en aucune
façon la fiche. La double isolation élimine le besoin d'un cordon trifilaire mis à la terre et

d'un système d'alimentation mis à la terre.

• Éviter de toucher à des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs,
des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Les risques de secousses électriques sont plus
élevés si le corps de l'utilisateur est mis à la terre.

• Protéger les outils électriques de la pluie ou des conditions mouillées. Une infiltration
d'eau dans l'outil augmente les risques de secousses électriques.

• Manipuler le cordon avec soin. Ne jamais se servir du cordon afin de transporter

l'outil ni tirer sur le cordon pour débrancher l'outil. Éloigner le cordon des sources de
chaleur, des flaques d'huile, des arêtes tranchantes et des pièces mobiles.
Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés. Les cordons endommagés

augmentent les risques de secousses électriques.

• Lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique à l'extérieur, se servir d'un cordon de rallonge

prévu pour l'extérieur, portant la mention "W -A" ou "W". Ces cordons sont conçus pour
servir à l'extérieur et minimisent les risques de secousses électriques.

SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE

• Ne pas se servir de l’outil lorsqu'on est fatigué ou affaibli par des drogues, de l'alcool
ou des médicaments. De graves blessures peuvent résulter d'un moment d'inattention lors

de l'utilisation d'un outil électrique.

• Porter des vêtements appropriés. Éviter de porter des vêtements amples ou des

bijoux. Recouvrir la chevelure si elle est longue. Éloigner les cheveux, les vêtements
et les gants des pièces en mouvement qui peuvent les happer .

• Éviter les démarrages accidentels. S'assurer que l'interrupteur est en position hors
tension avant de brancher l'outil. Afin d'éviter les risques de blessures, ne pas transporter

l'outil avec le doigt sur l'interrupteur ni brancher un outil dont l'interrupteur est en position
sous tension.

• Enlever les clés de réglage avant de mettre l'outil sous tension. Une clé qui est laissée
sur une pièce rotative de l'outil présente des risques de blessures.

• Ne pas dépasser sa portée. Garder son équilibre en tout temps. On s'assure d'une
meilleure maîtrise de l'outil dans des situations imprévues grâce à une position stable et un
bon équilibre.

• Porter de l'équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité. Dans
certaines conditions, il faut porter des masques respiratoires, des chaussures
antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protège-tympans.

UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L’OUTIL

• Utiliser des pinces de serrage ou de tout autre moyen pratique afin de fixer et de
soutenir la pièce à ouvrer sur une plate-forme stable. La pièce est instable lorsqu'elle

est retenue par la main ou le corps de l'utilisateur. Cela présente des risques de perte de
maîtrise de l'outil.

• Ne pas forcer l'outil. Utiliser l'outil approprié à la tâche. L'outil approprié fonctionne
mieux et sûrement lorsqu'on s'en sert à son rendement nominal.
