ENGLISH
Any pre-1960 building may have been painted in the
past with paint containing lead, and covered by
additional layers of paint. It is important to determine
whether the paint that is being sanded contains lead
before beginning work. This can be done with lead test
kits or by a professional decorator.
If in doubt, we recommend the following precautions
when sanding any paint or MDF.
PERSONAL SAFETY
No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding is being done until all
cleaning up has been 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
paint masks do not offer this protection.
No eating, drinking or smoking should be done in the
work area to prevent ingesting paint particles. Workers
should wash and clean up
before
eating, drinking or
smoking. Articles of food ,drink etc., should not be left
in the work area where dust could settle on them.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimise the amount of dust generated
Areas where paint removal is occurring should be
sealed with plastic sheeting.
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. Items of clothing, dust sheets, toys,
washable furniture and utensils should be washed
thoroughly before being used again.

DOUBLE INSULATION
The tool is double insulated. This means that all
the external metal parts are electrically insulated
from the mains power supply. This is done by
placing insulation barriers between the
electrical and mechanical components making
it unnecessary for the tool to be earthed.
Note:
Double insulation does not take the place
of normal safety precautions when operating the
tool. The insulation system is for added protection
against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on
the rating plate. The tool is fitted with a two-core cable
and plug.
MAINS PLUG REPLACEMENT (UK ONLY)
Should the mains plug need replacing and you are
competent to do this, proceed as instructed below.
If you are in doubt, contact a Black & Decker service
agent or a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the power supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of safely. A plug with
bared copper conductors is very dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the
correctly rated fuse.
Note:
Fuses do not give
personal protection against electric shock.
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at
the connection point of most good quality plugs.
Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug
(see diagram). Brown is L (live) and blue is N (neutral).

• Before replacing the top cover of the plug ensure
that the cable restraint is holding the outer sheath of
the cable firmly and that the two leads are correctly
fixed at the terminal screws. If the fuse cover is
missing or damaged do not use the plug.
For replacement or detachable fuse covers,
contact a Black & Decker service agent.
Warning!
Never connect live or neutral wires to the
