Black & Decker HPD2402 Instruction Manual

GENERAL SAFETY RULES - FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS

WA R N I N G ! READ AND UNDERSTAND A L L I N S T R U C T I O N S. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

S AVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

a c c i d e n t s .

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
f u m e s .

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

E L E C T R I C A L S A F E T Y
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from

heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords may create a fire.

• A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be

recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be
suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

• Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any

other batteries may create a risk of fire.

P E R S O N A L S A F E T Y
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
m e d i c a t i o n . A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious

personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your

h a i r, clothing , and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents cover moving parts and should be avoided.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before

inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery
pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that

is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and

balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TO O L USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable

p l a t f o r m . Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss

of control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position

before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. S u c h
preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools, with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other

condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced

before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.

S E RV I C E
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the

Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the

cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also

make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

• When working on a ladder or on scaffolding be sure to lay the tool down on its side

when not in use. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily
knocked over.

WA R N I N G : Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known 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 (CCA).

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.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities.

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.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause

serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

Always use NIOSH/OSHA a p p r o v e d

respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and
b o d y.

Battery Cap Information

Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the
tool or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.

WA R N I N G : Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed

battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product

kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Transporting
batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently come in contact with

conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like. The US Department of
Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually prohibit transporting

batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases and carryon luggage)
UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So when transporting individual

batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are protected and well insulated from
materials that could contact them and cause a short circuit.
