HINtS foR oPtIMuM uSe
• Do not place your hands over the ventilation slots.
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.
• Always sand with the grain of the wood.
• When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.
• On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On
other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a
smooth finish.
cAutIoN:
Respiratory hazard.
Never operate this tool
for wood sanding
unless the
dust canister is in place. Sanding dust exhaust may create a breathing hazard.
WARNING: fire hazard.
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyure-
thane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust canister or elsewhere and cause fire.
To reduce risk, empty canister frequently and strictly follow sander manual and coating man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING: fire hazard.
When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dust canister
because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to the danger
of
fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.

other Important Safety Warnings and Instructions
Sanding
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.
Motor
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 you 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.

cAutIoN:
to reduce the risk of injury
,
turn off and unplug the tool before making any
adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories.
AttAcHING 1/4 SHeet SANdPAPeR
• Lift clamps up with your thumb,
(figure B)
. Rotate the clamp lever downward until the clamp
is fully opened.
• Lay sandpaper on a flat surface and, centering the pad of the unit, press the sander down
firmly onto the paper.
• Wrap ends of the sandpaper around ends of the sander pad and clamp them in place using
the clamps.
• To close clamps, rotate clamp handles back up as far as they will go and lock them in place.
Stretch sandpaper as tight as possible when clamping.
Note:
On new tools the sandpaper may be difficult to install because of the stiffness of the
sanding pad. This condition will improve as the pad compresses over time.
PuNcHING SANdING SHeetS
The paper punch is used for punching dust extraction holes in sanding sheets without
pre-punched holes.
Attach a sanding sheet.
• Hold the tool in position directly above the paper punch.
• Press the tool with the sanding base down into the paper punch.
• Take the tool off the paper punch and check whether the holes in the sanding sheet have
been fully pierced.
oPeRAtING INStRuctIoNS
WARNING:
to reduce the risk of injury,
let the tool work at its own pace. do not
overload
.
WARNING:
Shock hazard.
Under no circumstances should this product be used near water.
SWItcH
To turn the tool ON, hold it as shown in f
igure c
and push the portion of the switch marked
“I”. To turn the tool off, push the portion of the switch marked “O”.
oPeRAtIoN
Grasp the sander as shown in
figure d
and turn it ON. Move it in long, sweeping strokes
along the surface, letting it do the work. Pushing down on the tool while sanding actually
slows the removal rate and produces an inferior quality finish.
Check your work often. Sander is capable of removing material rapidly especially with
coarse paper.
