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, ﬁre 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 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 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. 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

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.

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,

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 ﬁnger 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 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 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 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 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.

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.

Additional safety instructions for rotary tools

 Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly

lead based or when sanding some woods (e.g. MDF) and metal which may produce toxic dust:

- Wear a dust mask speciﬁcally designed for protection against lead paint dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area are also protected.

- Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work area.

- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.

- Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely.

Vibration

The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical data and the declaration of conformity have been measured in accordance with a standard test method provided by EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may increase above the level stated.

When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time.

Wear safety glasses or goggles when operating this tool.

 Only use Black & Decker accessories recommended for

this tool.

 Never use any worn, cracked or damaged accessories.  Hold the tool away from your face when switching on.  Keep your ﬁngers away from rotating accessories.  Be careful not to accidentally hit any foreign objects in the

workpiece.

 Be aware that accessories may be hot shortly after use.  If an accessory jams, switch the tool off and unplug it

before attempting to free the accessory.

 Clamp the workpiece whenever possible, especially when

using cutting discs.

 Wear a dust mask whenever sanding.  Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.

Labels on tool

The following pictograms are shown on the tool:

Warning! To reduce the risk of injury, the user must
