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.

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. 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 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.
