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.

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.

6.   Electrical safety

Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth  

wire is required. Always check that the main 

voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating 

plate.

Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must 

be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized 

BLACK+DECKER Service Center or an equally 

qualified person in order to avoid damage 

or injury. If the power cord is replaced by an 

equally qualified person, but not authorized by 

BLACK+DECKER the warranty will not be valid.

7.   Labels on tool

 

The label on your tool may include the following  

 symbols:

SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR 

GRINDING, SANDING, WIRE BRUSHING, 

POLISHING OR ABRASIVE

CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS

a. 

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder. 

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations 

and specifications provided with this power tool. 

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result 

in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

b. 

Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, 

polishing or cutting-off are not recommended to be 

performed with this power tool. Operations for which 

the power tool was not designed may create a hazard 

and cause personal injury.

c. 

Do not use accessories which are not specifically 

designed and recommended by the tool 

manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be 

attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe 

operation.

d. 

The rated speed of the accessory must be at least 

equal to the maximum speed marked on the power 

tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed 

can break and fly apart.

e. 

The outside diameter and the thickness of your 

accessory must be within the capacity rating of 

your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot 

be adequately guarded or controlled.

f. 

The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or 

any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of 

the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do 

not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will 

run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause 

loss of control.

g. 

Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or 

other accessories must be fully inserted into the 

collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/

or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted 

wheel may become loose and be ejected at high 

velocity.

h. 

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use 

inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for 

chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or 

excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
