MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT : Lire et comprendre toutes les directives. Le non-respect de toutes les
directives suivantes présente des risques de secousses électriques, d'incendie ou de
blessures graves.
CONSERVER CES MESURES.
ZONE DE TRAVAIL
• S'assurer que la zone de travail est propre et bien éclairée. Des établis encombrés et
des endroits sombres présentent des risques d'accidents.
• Ne pas utiliser des outils électriques en présence de vapeurs explosives (comme
celles dégagées par des liquides, des gaz ou des poussières inflammables). Les
étincelles générées par le moteur des outils électriques peuvent enflammer les poussières
ou les vapeurs.
• Éloigner les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs de la zone de travail lorsqu'on utilise
un outil électrique. Une distraction peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise de l'outil.
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIVES À L'ÉLECTRICITÉ
• Les outils à double isolation comportent une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que
l'autre). La fiche n'entre que d'une façon dans une prise polarisée. Lorsque la fiche
n'entre pas à fond dans la prise, essayer de nouveau après avoir inversé les broches
de la fiche. Si la fiche n'entre toujours pas dans la prise, communiquer avec un
électricien certifié afin de faire installer une prise polarisée. Ne modifier en aucune
façon la fiche. La double isolation élimine le besoin d'un cordon trifilaire mis à la terre et
d'un système d'alimentation mis à la terre.
• Éviter de toucher à des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs,
des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Les risques de secousses électriques sont plus
élevés si le corps de l'utilisateur est mis à la terre.
• Protéger les outils électriques de la pluie ou des conditions mouillées. Une infiltration
d'eau dans l'outil augmente les risques de secousses électriques.
• Manipuler le cordon avec soin. Ne jamais se servir du cordon afin de transporter
l'outil ni tirer sur le cordon pour débrancher l'outil. Éloigner le cordon des sources de
chaleur, des flaques d'huile, des arêtes tranchantes et des pièces mobiles.
Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés. Les cordons endommagés
augmentent les risques de secousses électriques.
• Lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique à l'extérieur, se servir d'un cordon de rallonge
prévu pour l'extérieur, portant la mention "W-A" ou "W". Ces cordons sont conçus pour
servir à l'extérieur et minimisent les risques de secousses électriques.
SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE
• Demeurer vigilant, prendre soin et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu'on utilise un outil
électrique. Ne pas s'en servir lorsqu'on est fatigué ou affaibli par des drogues, de
l'alcool ou des médicaments. De graves blessures peuvent résulter d'un moment
d'inattention lors de l'utilisation d'un outil électrique.
• Porter des vêtements appropriés. Éviter de porter des vêtements amples ou des
bijoux. Recouvrir la chevelure si elle est longue. Éloigner les cheveux, les vêtements
et les gants des pièces en mouvement qui peuvent les happer.
• Éviter les démarrages accidentels. S'assurer que l'interrupteur est en position hors
tension avant de brancher l'outil. Afin d'éviter les risques de blessures, ne pas transporter
l'outil avec le doigt sur l'interrupteur ni brancher un outil dont l'interrupteur est en position
sous tension.
• Enlever les clés de réglage avant de mettre l'outil sous tension. Une clé qui est laissée
sur une pièce rotative de l'outil présente des risques de blessures.
• Ne pas dépasser sa portée. Garder son équilibre en tout temps. On s'assure d'une
meilleure maîtrise de l'outil dans des situations imprévues grâce à une position stable et un
bon équilibre.
• Porter de l'équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité. Dans
certaines conditions, il faut porter des masques respiratoires, des chaussures
antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protège-tympans.

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 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.
Use of Extension Cords
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size
extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart
below.
Operating Your Belt Sander
Always hold belt sander firmly with both hands while sanding as shown in Figure 1.
Switch
To start your belt sander, depress the on/off switch as shown in Figure 2. To stop your belt
sander release the on/off switch. For continuous operation, depress the on/off switch then
depress the lock-on button (Figure 3) and release the on/off switch. To stop your belt sander,
depress the on/off switch to release the lock-on button. Release the on/off switch.
Changing The Sanding Belt
BEFORE INSTALLING A BELT, UNPLUG THE BELT SANDER.
Pull the lever shown in Figure 4 to release the tension on the sanding belt. Pull the sanding
belt from the two rollers. Put the new sanding belt in position on the front and rear rollers
(Figure 5). Ensure that the arrows on the sanding belt and on your belt sander are pointing in
the same direction. Push the lever to the rear to tension the sanding belt.
Adjusting The Sanding Belt Tracking
Turn the machine upside down (Figure 6), hold it firmly with one hand, start motor and
release switch immediately after observing tracking of sanding belt. If abrasive belt runs
outward, turn tracking adjustment knob clockwise and counterclockwise if belt runs inward.
Adjust the belt until the outer edge of the belt is even with the outer edge of the
sanding plate as shown in figure 6A. Also check that the belt doesn’t rub against the
belt guide strip shown in figure 6B.
Belt life will be greatly increased by keeping the tracking adjustment set properly.
Dust Collection
BEFORE INSTALLING THE DUSTBAG, UNPLUG THE BELT SANDER.
When using your belt sander, dust and grit are produced. It is important to use a dustbag.
Connect the dustbag by locating the nozzle of the bag onto the dust collection port of the belt
sander as shown in Figure 7 and firmly pushing on using the wire frame of the dust collection
bag. To remove the bag, unplug the belt sander and pull the the plastic nozzle from the dust
collection port.
WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane,
linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To
reduce risk, empty bag frequently and strictly follow sander manual and coating
manufacturer's instructions.
CAUTION: When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dustbag or a vacuum cleaner
because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dustmask. Due to the danger of
fire, do not use your belt sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
Clamping the Sander to a Work Surface
The sander can be attached to a workbench or other flat surface for hands free sanding as
shown in Figure 8.
CAUTION: When using inversion clamps make sure sander is securely clamped to
work surface each time it is used.
CAUTION: Use care when touching the workpiece to the belt, be ready to resist
dragging force transferred from the belt to the workpiece.
Sanding Lead Base 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.
•Adust 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.
Handy Hints
• Always start your belt sander before it is in contact with the workpiece and do not switch it
off until after it has been lifted from the workpiece.
• Always hold your belt sander with two hands.
• Where possible, clamp the workpiece to a work bench or similar sturdy surface.
• Use the correct grit sanding belt for your application. The following is a suggested list of belt
grits to use with different materials.

Tool Care And Maintenance
Never apply excessive force when you use your belt sander. Too much force can result in an
overload and cause damage to the motor or the workpiece. If your belt sander becomes too
hot, operate it without load for 2 minutes. Always keep the air cooling vents clear. To clean
your belt sander, proceed as follows:
