Frequently Asked Questions - CD500 BLACK & DECKER

Can I grind spices other than coffee beans?

Yes, the CD500 can grind dry spices such as peppercorns, cumin, and cinnamon sticks. Clean the unit thoroughly between uses to avoid flavor transfer.

How do I clean the mill?

Unplug the unit. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For the bowl, use a soft brush to remove coffee grounds. Do not immerse in water or use abrasive cleaners.

Why does the grinder stop during operation?

The unit may have an internal thermal cut-off to prevent overheating. If it stops, let it cool down for 10-15 minutes before resuming.

Can I grind wet ingredients like garlic or herbs?

No, this mill is designed for dry ingredients only. Wet items can damage the motor and blades.

How do I replace the blades?

The blade assembly is user-replaceable. Purchase an official Black & Decker blade set, then unscrew the old blade and install the new one. Refer to the manual for details.

Is the bowl dishwasher safe?

No, the plastic bowl is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash only with a soft cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.

What should I do if the motor smells burnt?

Stop using the grinder immediately. Unplug it and allow it to cool. Overloading or continuous use may cause the smell. If it persists, contact Black & Decker support.

Can I grind whole spices like nutmeg or cloves?

Yes, but be mindful that hard spices may require shorter pulses to avoid overheating. Do not overfill the bowl beyond the max line.

How long should I grind coffee for a medium grind?

For a medium grind, pulse for about 10-15 seconds in total. Shake the grinder gently between pulses for even consistency.

Does the unit have a warranty?

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning! When using electric tools, the following basic safety precautions should always be taken to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these instructions.

For safe operation:

• We recommend that you take appropriate measures for the protection of hearing if the sound pressure of 85 dB (A) is exceeded.
- Keep the work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
- Consider work area environment. Do not expose power tools to rain and do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use power tools 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, refrigerators).
- Keep children away. Do not let visitors touch the tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from 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 tools 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 using in enclosed spaces.
- 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 your work. Use clamps or a vice to hold your work. It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
- Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing

accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged have repaired by an authorised service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

• Disconnect tools. Disconnect 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 outdoor extension cords. When a tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for outdoor use and so marked.
• Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tools when you are tired.
• Connect dust extraction equipment. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used, especially in confined areas.
• 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 this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre. 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 this instruction manual, may present a risk of personal injury.
• Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. This 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 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SMALL ANGLE GRINDERS

- Use the guard and ensure it is fitted correctly.

ENGLISH

• Check mounting flanges and the disc are correctly fitted and are undamaged.
• Ensure you are using the correct size and type of disc for the task.
• Ensure the disc, wire brush and sanding accessories are rated in excess of the spindle rpm of your angle grinder. Allow a newly assembled wheel to idle off-load for 30 seconds before starting any operation.

Save these instructions!

DOUBLE INSULATION

Your 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 this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Be sure your supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate. This tool is fitted with a two-core cord 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 repair 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 = L (live), blue = N (neutral).
• 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.
• Your product is supplied with a non-rewireable plug, if the fuse cover is missing or damaged do not use the plug.

Make sure that the outer sheath of the cable is held firmly by the clamp

Warning! Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth pin marked E or ⊥

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND ONLY

Should the mains pug or cordset of this equipment be damaged it must only be replaced by an authorised Black & Decker service agent as special purpose tools are required.

EXTENSION CABLES

You can use up to 30m (100ft) of Black & Decker 2-core extension cable (or 3-core extension cable in Australia and New Zealand) 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 and 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.

HANDY HINTS

Line drawing of hands using a power tool to clean or adjust a circular component (no text or symbols present)

Hold your angle grinder firmly with one hand around the side handle and the other around the body of your angle grinder.

• Always position the guard so that as much of the exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
• Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc touches the metal.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to lift a small object, with a 15° angle标注 (no text or symbols beyond the label)

When grinding, always maintain the correct angle between the disc and the work surface (15°). This increases the removal capacity
of the disc and avoids unnecessary overloading.

OVERLOAD

Overloading will cause damage to the motor of your angle grinder. This can happen if your angle grinder is subjected to heavy duty use for prolonged periods of use. Do not in any circumstances, attempt to exert too much pressure on your angle grinder to speed up your work. The abrasive discs operate more efficiently when a light pressure is exerted, thus avoiding a drop in the speed of your angle grinder (see Tool care).

TOOL CARE

Keep guards, air vents and the motor housing as clear as possible of dust and dirt. Wipe with a clean cloth and blow through with a low-pressure air supply. Excessive build-up of metal dust can cause tracking of electrical current from the internal parts to exposed metal parts. Do not overload your angle grinder. Overloading causes a reduction in speed and efficiency, causing your angle grinder to become too hot. If this happens, operate your angle grinder under no load for one or two minutes until it has cooled to normal operating temperature. Switching your angle grinder off under load will reduce the life of the switch.

CLEANING

Use only mild soap and a slightly damp cloth to clean your angle grinder. Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage the plastic. Also, do not use petrol, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinners or similar products. Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
