Other Important Safety Warnings and Instructions
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.
•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 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.
| | | Minimum Gage for Cord Sets | |
Volts | | Total Length of Cord in Feet |
120V | | 0-25 | 26-50 | 51-100 | 101-150 |
240V | | 0-50 | 51-100 | 101-200 | 201-300 |

Adjustments
WARNING: To prevent accidental operation, turn off and unplug sander before performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious
personal injury.
3 Position Handle - Figure 1 & 1A
A locking mechanism on the side of the handle can be loosened to allow the handle to move. To adjust the handle, pull out on the locking arm (Figure 1) and move the handle to the desired position (Figure 1A). Once the handle is in position, push the locking arm in to lock the handle into position.
2 Position Belt Cover - Figure 2 & 3
The belt sander has an aluminum sanding belt cover at the front. When the handle is positioned in the uppermost position, this cover can be raised as shown in Figure 2 (Arrow 1) and locked in this position to:
a.) Improve accessibility to narrow areas.
b.) Allow the use of the smaller diameter front roller to sand with (normally the aluminum cover prevents this when in the “down” position).
c.) Expose the top part of the belt for more versatile sanding (Figure 3).
To lower the belt cover, grasp the flange on the side and move it slightly in the direction shown in Figure 2 (Arrow 2) and return it to its closed position.
Note: The sanding belt cover cannot be locked in its raised position unless the bail handle is in the uppermost position.
WARNING: The sanding belt is exposed when the belt cover is raised. Use extra caution when operating in this mode.
Adjusting The Sanding Belt Tracking - Figure 4
Turn the machine upside down (Figure 4), 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. Belt life will be greatly increased by keeping the tracking adjustment set properly. To prevent the sanding belt from rubbing against the sander housing, keep the edge of the belt about 7/64” (2.7mm) to 13/64” (5.1mm) from the housing as shown in figure 4.
Changing The Sanding Belt - Figure 5 & 6
WARNING: To prevent accidental operation, turn off and unplug sander before changing the sanding belt.
Pull the lever shown in Figure 5 to release the tension on the sanding belt. Pull the sanding belt from the two rollers. Put the new 3” x 21” (76 x 533mm) sanding belt in position on the front and rear rollers (Figure 6). 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.
Dust Collection - Figure 7
WARNING: To prevent accidental operation, turn off and unplug sander before installing the dust bag.
When using your belt sander, dust and grit are produced. It is important to use a dust bag. Connect the dust bag by sliding the plastic opening of the bag down over the dust exhaust port of the sander as shown in Figure 7. To empty the dust bag, remove it from the sander and unzip the bag over a trash container.
Note: A vacuum cleaner attachment is available as a service part at extra cost. To find your nearest Black & Decker Service Center location, refer to the yellow pages directory under "Tools—Electric" or call: 1-800-54-HOW-TO(544-6986).
WARNING: Fire hazard. 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.
WARNING: Fire hazard. When working on metal surfaces, do not use the dust bag or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your belt sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
Operation
Using Your Belt Sander - Figure 8
Always hold belt sander firmly with both hands while sanding as shown in Figure 8. Note that sander bail handle can be adjusted to three different positions as previously discussed.
Switch - Figure 9 & 10
To start your belt sander, depress the on/off switch as shown in Figure 9. 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 10) 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.

Aire de travail
•L’aire de travail doit être propre et bien éclairée. Les établis encombrés et les endroits sombres peuvent entraîner des accidents.
•Ne pas faire fonctionner des outils électriques dans des atmosphères explosives, comme en présence de liquides, de gaz et de poussières inflammables. Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.
•Tenir les enfants, les visiteurs ou toute autre personne à l’écart lorsqu’on utilise un outil électrique; les distractions peuvent faire perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.
Mesures de sécurité – 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
