Environmental Safety; Maintenance - Black & Decker BDEG900 Instruction Manual

3. Maintain a 5˚ to 15˚ angle between the tool and work surface. The san d ing disc
should contact approximately one inch (25mm) of work surface.
4. Move the tool constantly in a straight line to prevent burning and swirling of work
surface. Allowing the tool to rest on the work surface without moving, or moving the
tool in a circular motion causes burning and swirling marks on the work surface.
5. Remove the tool from work surface before turning tool off. Allow the tool to stop
rotating before laying it down.
PReCAUTIONS TO TAke WheN SANDINg PAINT
1. 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.
2. 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
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding
is being done until all clean up is completed.
2. 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 N.I.O.S.H. approved mask.
3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent
ingesting contaminated paint 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

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust
generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of
4 mils thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the
work area.
CLeANINg AND DISPOSAL
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed
thoroughly before being used again.

MAINTeNANCe

If the replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, it must be done by an
authorized service center or other qualified service personnel.
CLeANINg
WARNINg
: Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air
is a necessary maintenance procedure. Dust and grit from metal grinding often
accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not
cleaned out.
• Always handle accessories with care when mounting or removing.
• The best storage place for accessories is one that is cool and dry away from direct
sunlight and excess heat or cold.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
