This means that it is constructed throughout with TWO separate “layers” of electrical insulation or one DOUBLE thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your Drill is equipped with a two-prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection. 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. CAUTION: When servicing Double insulated Tools. USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or replace damaged cords. EXTENSION CORDS Double insulated tools have 2 wire cords, and can be used with 2 wire or 3 wire extension cords. Only round jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) (C.S.A. in Canada). If the extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked as outdoor can also be used for indoor work. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gaug& number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. To determine the minimum wire size required, refer to the chart below. ...........................................................................................................CHART FOR......MINIMUM........WIRE SIZE (AWG).......OF EXTENSION CORDS........................................

Make any needed repairs or replace the cord if necessary. Black & Decker has extension cords available that are U.L. (C.S.A in Canada) listed for outdoor use. MOTOR Your Black & Decker tool is powered by a B & D built motor. Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. Volts 50/60 Hz or “AC only” means your tool must be operated only with alternating current and never with direct current. Volts DC-60Hz or AC/DC means your tool may be operated with either alternating or direct current. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All B&D tools are factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power supply. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ATTACHING ABRASIVE PAPER ■ ' . ‘ The Va sheet Palm-Grip Sander will operate well using either plain abrasive paper or paper punched out for use with the built-in dust extraction feature. For normal operations, assemble the abrasive paper to your unit as follows. 1. Burnish the reverse side of the abrasive paper over a right angle in order to soften it. 2. Release clamp by pulling up on clamp lever and disengaging it from the tab on the base plate. (See Fig. 1) 3. Insert abrasive paper under the clamp, pull up on lever and lock into place. (Fig. 2) 4. Stretch paper over backing pad and insert under the opposite clamp in the same way. Should you desire to utilize the dust extracting feature of the tool, simply use perforated paper (available as an accessory item or make your own using template and punch supplied), and assemble in the same manner, making sure the holes in the paper line up with the holes in the base pad. (See “hole punch operation”) Caution: When using perforated paper be sure to remove dust cover (Fig 6), and install dust recovery bag to Insure maximum effectiveness. , FIG. 1 mmmim PAPER 4 DUST RECOVERY BAG , To utilize sander with dust recovery feature, assemble bag as follows: 1. Remove Dust Cover and make sure dust is not packed in opening. 2. Insert the wire frame into the two holes in the plastic adapter. (Fig.3) 3. With wire frame attached, insert assembly into dust collecting bag so the plastic - adapter protrudes through the opening in the end of the bag, and the wire frame is positioned at the zippered opening. (Fig 4) . 4. Slide assembly into opening located on the cord set side of the sander. (Fig. 5) NOTE: When not utilizing dust recovery feature, remove bag and close opening to avoid getting dust on operator. (Fig. 6) 5...
