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.
f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
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 personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non‑skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personalinjuries.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off‑position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing 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
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 dust
collection can reduce dust‑relatedhazards.

Additional Safety Rules for Oscillating
Multi-Tools
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electricshock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss ofcontrol.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in movingparts.
• Disconnect power before using tool near live wires or
where there may be hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.” Always check for hidden wiring, gas lines, or other
utilities before performing any material cutting or removal
operations with thetool.
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool
down. An exposed cutter may engage the surface leading
to possible loss of control and seriousinjury.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may
cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
orburns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk ofinjury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may
causeexplosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk offire.
6) 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.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of asecond.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
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 and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool 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 and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s 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.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, 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.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpectedsituations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another batterypack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury andfire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or afire.

Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of
it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicalsare:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from
chemically‑treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopicparticles.
• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of
harmfulchemicals. Direct particles away from face andbody.
• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE
eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or
smoking should not be left in the work area where dust
would settle onthem.
Environmental Safety
• Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dustgenerated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4milsthickness.
• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the workarea.
Cleaning and Disposal
• All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and
thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of the sanding
project. Vacuum filter bags should be changedfrequently.
• Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed
of along with any dust chips or other removal debris
They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and
disposed of through regular trash pick‑up procedures
During clean up, children and pregnant women should
be kept away from the immediate workarea.
• All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children
should be washed thoroughly before being usedagain.
Specific Safety Warnings and
Instructions:Sanders
Sanding Lead Based Paint
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due
to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnantwomen.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the
following precautions when sanding any paint:
Personal Safety
• No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean
up iscompleted.
• A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons
entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily
or whenever the wearer has difficultybreathing.
NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead
paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting
masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware
dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved)mask.
• NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in
the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint
gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods,
and limit daily time ofuse.
• Do not restart the cutting operation in the work
piece. Let the tool reach full speed and carefully re‑enter
thecut.
• Do not “jam” the saw blade or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
ofcut.
• Keep your hands away from cutting area. Do not reach
under the material beingcut.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blade can
break easily or cause kickback. Exercise extreme caution
when handling the accessories. The accessories are very
sharp. Wear protective gloves when changing cutting
accessories. Accessories become hot after prolongedusage.
• Before scraping, check work piece for nails. If there are
nails, either remove them or set them well below intended
finished surface. Striking a nail with accessory edge could
cause the tool tojump.
• Do not wet sand with this tool. Liquids entering the
motor housing are an electrical shockhazard.
• Never work in area which is soaked with a liquid, such
as a solvent or water, or dampened such as newly
applied wallpaper. There is an electrical shock hazard
when working in such conditions with a power tool and
heating of the liquid caused by scraping action may cause
harmful vapors to be emitted from workpiece.
• Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding
pads. Larger sandpaper will extend beyond the sanding
pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick‑back.
Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also
cause seriouslacerations.

Maintenance
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn unit off before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories. An accidental start‑up can
causeinjury.
Your BLACK+DECKER product has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Helpful Hints
• Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. Any movement of the material may
affect the quality of the cutting or sandingfinish.
• Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper
attached to sandingplaten.
• Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces,
medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the
finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on
scrapmaterial.
• Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and
cause motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly
will maintain optimum workingefficiency.
• Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will damage
the sanding pad.
• If the tool overheats, run it with no load for 2–3 minutes
to cool the motor. Always keep the bladesharp.
Sanding
WARNING: Fire hazard. When working on metal
surfaces, do not use a vacuum cleaner because sparks
are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask.
Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to
sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wetsanding.
NOTE: Do not rest fingers on platen during use. Move it in
long sweeping strokes across the surface, letting it do the
work. Light pressure is all that is required forsanding.
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT.
WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Before cutting any type of
material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to
preventslipping.
WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Let the tool work at its own
pace. Do not overload, blade breakage mayoccur.
1. Clearly mark the desired cutting area.
2. Switch the tool on before applying pressure and
slowly feed the blade into the workpiece at the
marked location.
WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Ensure the blade is not in
contact with cutting surface before startingsaw.
3. Advance the blade along the cutting line until cut is
completed. Don’t force the tool; let the blade cut at its
ownspeed.
4. Switch the tooloff.
NOTE:
Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for
the workpiece material and type of cut. Cut only with sharp
blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor

Installing/Removing Sanding Sheets (Fig.F)
Optional Accessory
A diamond shaped platen uses a hook and loop adhesion
system to attach the sanding sheets.The platen allows you to
use it on large flat surfaces and tight spots orcorners.
1. Attach the sanding platen accesory as described under
Installing/RemovingAccessories.
2. Align the edges on the sanding sheet with the edge
of the sanding platen and press the sanding sheet
onto the platen.
3. Firmly press the base with the sanding sheet
attached against a flat surface and briefly switch the
tool on. This provides for good adhesion between
the platen and the sanding sheet and also helps to
prevent premature wear.
NOTE: When the tip of the sanding sheet becomes
worn, detach the sheet from the platen, rotate
and reapply.
