Intended use

Your Black & Decker sander has been designed for sanding wood, metal, plastics and painted surfaces. This tool is intended for consumer use only.

General safety rules

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable 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. Unmodified 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 power tool. 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.

3. Personal safety

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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
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 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.

4. Power tool use and care

ENGLISH

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional safety instructions for sanders

◆Always wear a dust mask whenever sanding.
◆Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.
Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly lead based or when sanding some woods and metal which may produce toxic dust:
- Wear a dust mask specifically designed for protection against lead paint dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area are also protected.
- Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work area.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
- Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely.
- This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm persons without supervision. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
◆If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.

Electrical safety

This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

◆Press the sheet firmly and evenly onto the sanding base (3), making sure that the holes in the sheet line up with the holes in the base.

Connecting a vacuum cleaner (fig. C)

◆Insert the adaptor (6) into the dust extraction outlet (2).

◆Connect the hose (7) of the vacuum cleaner to the adaptor.

Use

Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.

KA196E - Variable speed control

The variable speed control allows you to adapt the speed of the tool to the workpiece material.

◆Set the control knob (5) to the desired setting. Use a high speed for wood, medium speed for veneer and synthetics and low speed for acrylic glass, non-ferrous metals and for removing paints.

Switching on and off

CD380/CD400/AST4XC

◆To switch the tool on, slide the on/off switch (1) forward (position I).
◆To switch the tool off, slide the on/off switch to the rear (position 0).

ENGLISH

KA196/KA196E

◆To switch the tool on, press the front part I of the on/off switch (1).
◆To switch the tool off, press the rear part O of the on/off switch.

Hints for optimum use

◆Always hold the tool with both hands (fig. D).
◆Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
◆ Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.
◆Always sand with the grain of the wood.
- When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.
On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a smooth finish.
◆Consult your retailer for more information on available accessories.

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.

◆Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a soft brush or dry cloth.
◆Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)

If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:

◆Safely dispose of the old plug.
◆Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the new plug.
◆Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.

Warning! No connection is to be made to the earth terminal. Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs. Recommended fuse: 5 A.
