USER MANUAL BDCROS18N BLACK & DECKER

Intended use Your BLACK+DECKER BDCROS18 random orbital sander has been designed for sanding wood, metal, plastics and painted surfaces. This tool is intended for consumer use only. Safety instructions General power tool safety warnings Warning! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery oper- ated (cordless) power tool.

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the charger. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

ENGLISH (Original instructions)

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. 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. g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Battery tool use and care

Features This tool includes some or all of the following features.

Charging procedure (Fig. A) BLACK+DECKER chargers are designed to charge BLACK+DECKER battery packs. u Plug the charger (6) into an appropriate outlet before inserting the battery pack (4). u Insert the battery pack (4) into the charger (6) as shown in gure A. u The green LED (6a) will ash indicating that the battery is being charged. u The completion of charge is indicated by the green LED (6a) remaining on continuously. The pack is fully charged and may be used at this time or left on the charger. Note: Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use or battery life may be greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully. It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use. Leaving the battery in the charger The charger (6) and battery pack (4) can be left connected with the LED glowing indenitely. The charger will keep the battery pack fresh and fully charged. Important charging notes u Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 65°F and 75°F (18°- 24°C). DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below +40°F (+4.5°C), or above +105°F (+40.5°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. u The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsulated trailer. u If the battery pack does not charge properly: u Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. u Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. u Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 65°F - 75°F (18°- 24°C). u If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service center. u The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufcient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack. u Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but not limited to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any buildup of metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities. Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug charger before attempting to clean. u Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid. Warning! Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service center for recycling. Charger Diagnostics (Fig.B) Refer to the indicators in gure B for the charge status of the battery pack. Bad Battery If you see a bad battery blink pattern, do not continue to charge this battery. Return it to a service center or a collection site for recycling. Hot/Cold Pack Delay When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack Delay, suspending charging until the battery pack has reached an appropriate temperature. The charger then automatically switches to the pack charging mode. This feature ensures maximum battery pack life. A cold battery pack will charge at a slower rate than a warm battery pack. The pack will charge at that slower rate throughout the entire charging cycle and will not return to maximum charge rate even if the pack warms.7 ENGLISH (Original instructions) Installing and removing the battery pack from the tool To install battery pack Fig. C) u Insert battery (4) into tool until an audible click is heard (Figure. C) u Ensure battery pack is fully seated and fully latched into position. To remove battery pack (Fig.D) u Depress the battery release button (7) as shown in gure D and pull battery pack (4) out of the tool. Attaching hook and loop sanding discs (g.E) For best results, use BLACK+DECKER accessories. u Your sander is designed for use with either mesh carbide sandpaper or with standard sand paper with the 8 hole dust extraction pattern. u To attach the sanding disc (8), carefully center it over the sanding pad (3) ensuring the holes in the disc align with the holes in the pad and press the disc rmly in place. u The hook and loop fastening system sanding disc can be easily removed by simply pulling it off. It can be reused as desired. Use Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload. Switching on and off u To switch the tool on, depress the on/off switch (2) at the "I" position. u To switch the tool off, depress the on/off switch (2) at the"O" position. Operation Grasp the sander as shown in gure G and turn it ON. Move it in long, sweeping strokes along the surface, letting it do the work. Pushing down on the tool while sanding actually slows the removal rate and produces an inferior quality nish. Check your work often. Sander is capable of removing material rapidly especially with coarse paper. Dust Collection (Fig. H, I) Warning! Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coat- ings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can selgnite in sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause re. To reduce risk, empty bag frequently and strictly follow sander manual and coating manufacturer’s instructions. u To attach the canister to the sander, line up the grooves in the canister (9) with the nubs (10) on the dust port. u Slide the canister onto the dust port and turn the canister clockwise to lock it in place as shown in Figure H. u To remove, turn the canister counterclockwise and slide the canister off. u To empty the canister, remove it from the dust port and dump the sanding debris into an appropriate trash recep- tacle Figure I. Maintenance Your tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning. Warning! Before performing any maintenance, switch off and unplug the tool. u Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a soft brush or dry cloth. u Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.
