Regularly check the wear on the sandpaper and replace worn sandpaper when necessary for the BLACK & DECKER QS1000.

Do not push down on the BLACK & DECKER QS1000; let the sander do the work.

Extended drywall sanding is not recommended for the BLACK & DECKER QS1000.

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 the risk of electric shock for the BLACK & DECKER QS1000.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators when operating the BLACK & DECKER QS1000. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

When operating the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

If operating the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Use personal protective equipment when operating the BLACK & DECKER QS1000. Always wear eye, ear and respiratory protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to the power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the BLACK & DECKER QS1000. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach when operating the BLACK & DECKER QS1000. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery when using the BLACK & DECKER QS1000. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Do not use the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 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.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 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.

Store the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 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.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the operation of the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 power tool. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Use the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 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.

Have the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 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.

The BLACK & DECKER QS1000 charger is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required. Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Never attempt to replace the charger unit with a regular mains plug.

Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized Black & Decker Service Center or an equally qualified person in order to avoid damage or injury. If the power cord is replaced by an equally qualified person, but not authorized by Black & Decker, the warranty will not be valid.

Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet. Replace when necessary.

Always sand with the grain of the wood.

When sanding new layers of paint before applying another layer, use extra fine grit.

On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a fine grit for a smooth finish.

Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in the sander dust canister or elsewhere and cause fire when using the BLACK & DECKER QS1000. To reduce risk, empty canister frequently and strictly follow sander manual and coating manufacturer’s instructions.

When working on metal surfaces with the BLACK & DECKER QS1000, do not use the dust canister or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dustmask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the BLACK & DECKER QS1000 tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
