WARNING: Read all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. 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.
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 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. Replace or repair
damaged cords. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that
have 3-prong grounding-type plugs

and 3-pole receptacles that accept the
tool’s plug.
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. 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.
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 tool
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off-position
before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in 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 jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry
or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents often cover moving
parts and should also be avoided.
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 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 and in the
manner intended for the particular

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 your 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.
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.
type of power tool, 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.
b) If the replacement of the supply cord
is necessary, this has to be done by
the manufacturer or his agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
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,
• 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 personal
hearing protection during use. Under
some conditions and duration of use,
noise from this product may contribute
to hearing loss.

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.
