-4,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 toot.

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 toot wilt increase the risk of

electric shock

Do not abuse the cord. Never use

d)

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

and3-polereceptaclesthatacceptthe

tool'splug.

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

inattentionwhile 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
toot may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the

power toot 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 toot

wilt 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 toot 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 toot

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

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 wilt

ensure that the safety of the power toot

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.

Z_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 welt 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.

_I,WARNING: Use of this toot 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.

AOAUTION: Wear appropriate personal

hearing protection during use. Under
some conditions and duration of use,
noise from this product may contribute
to hearing loss.

The label on your toot may include the

following symbols.

V.............. volts

A.............. amperes

Hz ............ hertz

W ............ watts

min .......... minutes

"_ ..........alternating current

Be sure your power supply agrees with
nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only

means your toot will operate on standard
60 Hz household power. Do not operate

AC tools on DC. A rating 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 wilt 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.

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.

Assembly

_Warning: Before assembly, make sure

that the tool is switched off and
unplugged.
