doors and so marked.
17. DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools in gaseous or
explosive atmospheres. Motors in these tools normally
spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
GROUNDING
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electric shock. The tool is equipped with an approved
three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type plug to fit
the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or green and
yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. Never
connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
If your unit is for use on less than 150 volts, it has a plug like
that shown in Figure A. If it is for use on 150 to 250 volts, it has
a plug like that shown in Figure D. An adapter, Figures B and C,
is available for connecting Figure A plugs to two-prong recep­
tacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc., must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
No adapter is available for a plug as shown in Figure D.
Adapter shown in Figures B & C is Not for Use in Canada.
0«}UNDEO OUTLET BOX
We recommend that you NEVER disassemble the tool or try to
do any rewiring in the electrical system. Any repairs should be
performed only by B&D Service Centers or other qualified
service organizations. Should you be determined to make a
repair yourself, remember that the green colored wire is the
“grounding" wire. Never connect this green wire to a “live”
terminal. If you replace the plug on the power cord, be sure to
connect the green wire only to the grounding (longest) prong
on a 3-prong plug.
To start tool, depress trigger: to stop, release trigger. To lock
trigger in “ON” position for continuous operation, depress
trigger, push in locking button, and release trigger. To release
locking mechanism and turn off tool, depress trigger and release.
ATTACHING DISCS
1. Place Backing Pad and sanding
disc on spindle of toot.
2. Screw Clamp Washer PARTIALLY
on the spindle.
3. V'/ith one hand, depress the spin­
dle lock button and hold the
button down. Grasp the pads and
sanding disc with the other hand
and turn by hand to tighten the
entire assembly (fig. 1).
To remove pads and discs: depress
spindle lock button: grasep the pads
and disc: and turn pad and disc
assembly in opposite direction.
OPERATION
Rg. I
Grasp the control handies firmly and
operate the tool freely without forced
effort or unnecessary pressure. For
maximum efficiency, the tool must
be positioned so that the sanding
disc is at the proper angle to the
work. Fig., 2 (marked “RIGHT”) illus­
trates how the tool is tipped slightly
in order to let the maximum amount
of abrasive contact the work without
affecting the smoothness of the sand­
ing action. Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 (marked
“WRONG”) show incorrect positions
which allow either too little or too
much abrasive contact. If only the
outer edge of the sanding, disc is
used (as in Fig. 3), a rough cut sur­
face will result. If the sanding disc
is pressed flat against the work (as
in Fig. 4), the cutting action will be
irregular and bumpy, and the toot
will be difficult to control.
CLEANING
Blowing dust and grit out of the main
housing by means of an air hose is
recommended and may be done as
often as dirt is seen collecting in and
around the ventilator vents. The
motor should be running while air
is being blown into the air vents.
