USER MANUAL 374455 BLACK & DECKER

• Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

• Consider the work area environment. Do not expose the power tool to rain and do not use in damp or wet locations. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use the power tool where there is a risk to cause fire or explosion.

• Guard against electric shock. Avoid body contact, where possible, with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators).

• Keep children away. Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from the work area.

• Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, high or locked place, out of reach of children.

• Do not force the tool. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended.

• Use the right tool. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use the tool for purposes not intended; for example, do not use a circular saw to cut tree limbs or logs.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as they can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• Use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask as well, if the operation is dusty or if the tool is being used in enclosed spaces.

• Connecting dust extraction equipment. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection ensure these are connected and properly used, especially in confined areas.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by its cord or yank it to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

• Secure the work. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using a hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• Maintain the tool with care. Keep a cutting tool sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect the tools cord periodically and, if damaged, have repaired by an authorised service agent. Inspect the extension cord periodically and replace if damaged. Keep the handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

• Disconnect the tool when not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.

• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool and replaced in the storage area before switching on.

• Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry a plugged-in tool with a finger on the switch. Ensure the switch is off when plugging in.

• Use an outdoor extension cord. When a tool is used outdoors, only use an extension cord intended for outdoor use and so marked.

• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when tired.

• Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in the product booklet. Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service agent. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.

• Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment, other than recommended in the product booklet, may present a risk of personal injury.

• Have the tool repaired by a qualified person. The electrical tool is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise, this may result in considerable danger to the user.

ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN SANDING

PAINT AND MEDIUM DENSITY FIBREBOARD (MDF) 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. Sanders user manual22 ENGLISH Any pre-1960 building may have been painted in the past with paint containing lead, and covered by additional layers of paint. It is important to determine whether the paint that is being sanded contains lead before beginning work. This can be done with lead test kits or by a professional decorator. If in doubt, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint or MDF. PERSONAL SAFETY No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all cleaning up has been 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 paint masks do not offer this protection. No eating, drinking or smoking should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up before eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food ,drink etc., should not be left in the work area where dust could settle on them. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimise the amount of dust generated Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting. 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. Items of clothing, dust sheets, toys, washable furniture and utensils should be washed thoroughly before being used again. Save these instructions! DOUBLE INSULATION The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool to be earthed. Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating the tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate. The tool is fitted with a two-core cable and plug. MAINS PLUG REPLACEMENT (UK ONLY) Should the mains plug need replacing and you are competent to do this, proceed as instructed below. If you are in doubt, contact a Black & Decker service agent or a qualified electrician.

• Disconnect the plug from the power supply.

• Cut off the plug and dispose of safely. A plug with bared copper conductors is very dangerous if engaged in a live socket outlet.

• Only fit BS1363A approved plugs fitted with the correctly rated fuse. Note: Fuses do not give personal protection against electric shock.

• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked at the connection point of most good quality plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points in the plug (see diagram). Brown is L (live) and blue is N (neutral). Fit a plug approved to BS1363A Connect blue to N (neutral) Make sure that the outer sheath of the cable is held firmly by the clamp Fit a 5 amp fuse Connect brown to L (live) 230 volts AC only. Never use a light socket

• Before replacing the top cover of the plug ensure that the cable restraint is holding the outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws. If the fuse cover is missing or damaged do not use the plug. For replacement or detachable fuse covers, contact a Black & Decker service agent. Warning! Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth pin marked E or .

MAINS PLUG REPLACEMENT

(AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY) Should the mains plug or cordset of the product be damaged, it must only be replaced by an authorised23 ENGLISH Black & Decker service agent because special purpose tools are required. EXTENSION CABLES Up to 30m (100ft) of 3-core extension cable can be used without undue loss of power. Note: An extension cable should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cable could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension cable must be used, make sure it is properly wired, contains the correct rated fuse as recommended in its literature and is in good electrical condition.

UNWANTED TOOLS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Should you find one day that the tool needs replacement or is of no further use, think of the protection of the environment. Black & Decker service agents will accept old tools and will dispose of them in an environmentally safe way.

PREPARING YOUR SANDER

To prepare your sander, proceed as follows: Disconnect the plug from the electricity supply. Fit the correct grade of sandpaper to the base of your sander. Connect the dust extraction outlet to a vacuum cleaner or fit the dust extraction bag (KA273). Set the variable speed control to the desired setting (KA185E/KA186E).

FITTING THE SANDPAPER

Your sander uses one third sheet (KA175/KA180/KA185/ KA185E), or pre-cut punched nylon backed sheets (KA186/KA186E/374455), or half sheet (KA273) of sandpaper. To fit the sandpaper, proceed as follows: Disconnect the plug from the electricity supply. KA186/KA186E/374455 Press the nylon loop side of the abrasive sheet against the hooks on the base, making sure the holes of the paper and the base are aligned. KA175/KA180/KA185/KA185E Press the handles of the front and rear paper clamps upwards, to release them from their retaining grooves. Operate the paper clamp levers to open the paper clamps (KA273). Align the holes in the sandpaper with the dust extraction holes in the base of your sander. Hold the sandpaper in position and insert the edge of the sandpaper under the front paper clamp. Press the handle of the paper clamp downwards and locate it in the retaining groove (KA175/KA180/KA185/ KA185E). Operate the front paper clamp lever to close the paper clamp (KA273). Keeping a slight tension on the sandpaper, to adhere it to the base, insert the rear edge in the rear paper clamp. Press the handle of the paper clamp downwards and locate it in the retaining groove (KA175/KA180/KA185/KA185E). Operate the rear paper clamp lever to close the paper clamp (KA273). DUST EXTRACTION (KA175/KA180/KA185/KA185E/ KA186/KA186E/374455) Your sander has an adaptor to connect it to a vacuum cleaner. To connect the vacuum cleaner, proceed as follows: Insert the adaptor in the rear outlet of your sander and connect the hose of the vacuum cleaner. DUST EXTRACTION (KA273) Your sander has an external bag for the collection of dust. To fit the dust extraction bag, proceed as follows:25 Slide the cover of the dust extraction outlet forward and insert the nozzle of the dust extraction bag in the aperture. To empty the dust extraction bag, open the zip fastener and empty the contents. To remove the dust extraction bag, depress the release catch and remove the bag from the aperture. VARIABLE SPEED (KA185E/KA186E) The variable speed control on the front of your sander gives the optimum speed for every material. To adjust the speed of your sander, set the control knob to the desired number. Suggested speeds are given in the following table: Material Electronic level Hardwood (beech) 3-5 Softwood (pine) 3-5 Veneer wood 2-4 Synthetic material 3-4 Acrylic glass 2-5 Non-ferrous metal 2-5 Steel 2-5 Lacquer removal 3-5

OPERATING YOUR SANDER

KA175/KA273 To switch your sander on, slide the on/off switch forward; the mark “1” appears. To switch your sander off, slide the on/off switch to the rear; the mark “O“ appears. KA180/KA185/KA185E/KA186/KA186E/374455 To switch your sander on, press the switch marked “1”. To switch your sander off, press the switch marked “O”. HANDY HINTS Always hold your sander with two hands. Always sand with the grain of the wood. If you sand across the grain, you will leave swirl marks.

• Use the correct grade of sandpaper. Low grit sandpapers give a high stock removal rate, with a coarse finish. High grit sandpapers give a low stock removal rate, with a finer finish. As a general rule, start with the low grit paper and finish with the higher grit.

• Replace worn sandpaper.

• Empty the dustbag (KA273) every 10 minutes.

• Set the correct speed (KA185E/KA186E). Use low speed for acrylics and synthetics and use medium or high speed for hard and soft wood. TOOL CARE

• Do not apply excessive pressure on your sander. This can cause your sander to overheat. If your sander becomes too hot, operate it off-load for 2 minutes.

• Always keep the air cooling vents on the motor housing clear.

• To clean your sander, proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the plug from the electricity supply.

• Use a clean dry paint brush to clear vents and ducts.

• Clean the housing using a clean damp cloth (do not use solvents, petrol or turpentine).
