Black & Decker FS540 Cordless Sander User Manual


 
in the corner area may cause damage. 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.
Dust Extraction
WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane,
linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause re. To
reduce risk, empty bag frequently and strictly follow sander manual and coating
manufacturer’s instructions.
Your sander comes equipped with a cloth canister to collect the dust generated while
sanding. To attach the canister onto the sander simply slide it firmly onto the dust
extraction port at the back of the sander and twist it slightly.
To empty the dust canister, remove it from the sander by simply twisting slightly and
pulling it straight back. Dump the sanding debris into an appropriate trash receptacle.
You may, if you prefer, attach a vacuum cleaner to the tool to collect the dust as you sand.
Simply remove the dust bag, and install a vacuum hose.
Ensure that the vacuum cleaner can be placed such that it will not tip over or interfere with
the motion of the sander. If this cannot be done, do not use the vacuum cleaner. Turn on
the vacuum cleaner before beginning to sand and turn it off after turning off the sander.
Empty vacuum cleaner as required.
Maintenance / Cleaning
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside
the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service
personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
