c.   Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or 
  the battery pack from the power tool before  
 making any adjustments, changing accessories,  
  or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures  
  reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d.   Store idle power tools out of the reach of children  
  and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power 
  tool or these instructions to operate the power  
 tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands  
  of untrained users.
e.   Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment  
  or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and  
  any other condition that may affect the power  
  tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool  
  repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by  
  poorly maintained power tools.
f.   Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly  
  maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are  
  less likely to bind and are easier to control.
5.   Service
a.   Have your power tool serviced by a qualified  
  repair person using only identical replacement  
 parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power  
  tool is maintained.
6.   Electrical safety
Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth  
wire is required. Always check that the main 
voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating 
plate.
Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must 
be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized 
Black & Decker Service Center or an equally  
qualified person in order to avoid damage or 
injury. If the power cord is replaced by an equally 
qualified person, but not authorized by Black & 
Decker, the warranty will not be valid.

SAFETY WARNINGS
 f Hold the power tool by insulated gripping  
  surfaces, because the sanding belt / sanding base  
  may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may  
  make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and  
  shock the operator.
 f Use clamps or another practical way to secure  
  and support the work piece to a stable platform. 
  Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves  
  it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
 f
 Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dust arising  
  from sanding applications may endanger the health of  
  the operator and possible bystanders. Wear a  
  dust mask specifically designed for protection against  
  dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or  
  entering the work area are also protected.
 f Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.
 f Take special care when sanding paint which is  
  possibly lead based or when sanding some woods  
  and metal which may produce toxic dust:
  -   Do not let children or pregnant women enter the  
    work area.
  -   Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
  -   Dispose of dust particles and any other debris  
   safely.
