RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ CONCERNANT LES OUTILS À
PILE – GÉNÉRALITÉS
AVERTISSEMENT : Lire, comprendre et suivre toutes les directives précisées
ci-dessous, y compris les consignes de sécurité, afin d’éviter les risques de choc
électrique, d’incendie ou de blessure grave.
CONSERVER LE PRÉSENT GUIDE À TITRE DE RÉFÉRENCE
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
élimine le besoin d'un cordon trifilaire mis à la terre et
Operation
Using Your Belt Sander - Figure 8

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:
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.
• Use a clean dry paint brush to clear vents and ducts.
• Clean the housings using a clean damp cloth (do not use solvents, gas or turpentine.)
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.

Safety Warnings and Instructions: Sanders
• ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.
• Clean your tool out periodically.
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
