over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
SANDING
L
EAD 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:
P
ERSONAL 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.

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.
DUST COLLECTION
WARNING: Fire hazard. Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane, 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 manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING: Fire hazard.When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dust canister or a vacuum cleaner because
sparks are generated.Wear safety glasses and a dustmask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to sand
magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
