Helpful Hints; Maintenance; Two-Year Limited Warranty - Black & Decker BDCOS20 Instruction Manual

nOTE: Do not rest fingers on platen during use. Move it in
long sweeping strokes across the surface, letting it do the
work. Light pressure is all that is required for sanding.
LED Worklight (Fig. A)
The LED worklight 7 will activate when the on/off switch
is turned on. It will automatically shut off following a short
period of time after the switch is turned off.

Helpful Hints

• Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. Any movement of the material may
affect the quality of the cutting or sanding finish.
• Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper
attached to sanding platen.
• Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces,
medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the
finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on
scrap material.
• Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and
cause motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly
will maintain optimum working efficiency.
• Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will damage
the sanding pad.
• If the tool overheats, especially when used at low speed,
set the speed to maximum and run it with no load for
2–3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at
very low speeds. Always keep the blade sharp.
