"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 sanding wood that could contain nails or when
sanding 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.

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.
• Adust 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
Alocking 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.
