1. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES WHEN USING THIS TOOL.
2. DO NOT USE GRINDING WHEELS ON THIS TOOL.
3. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY RULES LISTED ON NEXT PAGE OF THIS MANUAL
4. USING A DUST MASK IS RECOMMENDED.
MOTOR
Your tool Is powered by a Black & Decker built motor. Be sure your power supply
agrees with nameplate marking. VOLTS AC means Alternating Current (25 to 60
cycles) ONLY. VOLTS AC/DC means it will also operate on Direct Current. Voltage
variation of more than 10% will cause loss of power and over-heating. All B&D tools
are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
BRUSHES
Carbon Brushes should be regularly inspected for wear. To inspect brushes, unplug
tool, unscrew the plastic brush inspection caps (located in top and bottom motor
housing) and the spring and brush assemblies may be withdrawn from the tool.
Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Carbon brushes have varying
symbols stamped into them, and if the brush is worn down to the line closest to the
spring, they must be replaced. New brush assemblies are available at Service
Centers; see TOOLS, ELECTRIC in the Yellow Pages.
EXTENSION CORD
When using the tool at a considerable distance from power source, a
3
conductor,
grounding-type extension cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to
prevent loss of power and over-heating. Use the table below to determine the mini
mum wire size required.
Use only three wire extension cords which have three-prong grounding-type plugs and
three-pole receptacles which accept the tool's plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.
