EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current
your product will draw. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The
following table shows the correct size
to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the
gage number, the heavier the cord.

OThER IMPORTANT SAFETY
WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
SANDING LEAD 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:
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
Your BlACK+DECKER tool is powered by
a BlACK+DECKER-built 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 you
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.
