EXTENSION CORD
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table
below shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

MOTOR
Your tool is powered by a Black & Decker specified motor. Be sure your power supply agrees with the name-
plate marking. A marking of 120 volts, 50/60 Hz or 120 volts, AC only means that the tool is designed to oper-
ate on normal 120 volt house current. Voltage decrease of more that 10% will cause loss of power and over-
heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory tested. If this tool does not run, check the power supply.
AUXILIARY HANDLE (G750 / FIG. 1)
A two position auxiliary handle (5) is furnished with your grinder and can be screwed into either side of the
grinder housing. This handle SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES to maintain complete control of the tool.
AUXILIARY HANDLE (G850 / FIG. 1A)
A three position auxiliary handle (5) is furnished with your grinder and can be screwed into either side of the
grinder housing as well as into the top. This handle SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES to maintain complete
control of the tool.
STARTING THE TOOL (G750)
To start the tool, slide the ON/OFF switch forward (1). For continuous operation, slide the switch fully for-
ward (2). To stop the tool, release the ON/OFF switch. To stop the tool while running in continuous mode,
press the rearward part of the switch.
NOTE: Do not switch the tool on or off while under load conditions. Allow the grinder to run up to full speed
before touching the surface to be ground. Lift the tool from the surface before turning the tool off.
STARTING THE TOOL (G850)
To switch your angle grinder on, depress the trigger switch (1). The angle grinder will stop when the trigger
switch is released. For continuous operation depress the lock-on button (2) while the trigger switch is
depressed. Release the trigger switch prior to releasing the lock-on button. To stop your angle grinder when
operation is continuous depress the trigger switch again and release.
OVERLOAD
Overloading will cause damage to the motor of your angle grinder. This can happen if your angle grinder is
subjected to heavy use for prolonged periods of time. Do not in any circumstances, attempt to exert too much
pressure on your angle grinder to speed up your work. The abrasive discs operate more efficiently when light
pressure is exerted, thus avoiding a drop in the speed of your angle grinder.
GRINDING AND WIRE BRUSHING
ATTACHING THE WHEEL GUARD (FIG.2)
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE TOOL. NEVER GRIND OR BRUSH WITHOUT GUARD IN PLACE.
Place the angle grinder on a table, spindle up. Align the lug with the slot in the bracket. Press the guard down
and turn it in the direction of the arrow. NOTE: The guard locking pin prevents the guard from coming loose.

proper guard.
1. Ensure that the guard is fitted properly. Place the inner flange (a) in Fig. 3 on the spindle. Ensure that it
is located on the two flats.
2. Place the grinding wheel on the spindle and inner flange (a) in Fig. 4.
3. Fit the threaded outer flange (b) Fig. 5, making sure it is facing in the correct direction for the type of
wheel fitted. For thick grinding wheels, the flange ( b) is fitted with the raised portion facing towards the wheel.
For thin grinding wheels, the flange (b) is fitted with the inner portion facing away from the wheel.
4. Press in the spindle lock button and rotate the spindle until it locks. Keeping the lock button pressed in,
tighten the outer flange with the spanner wrench provided as shown in Fig. 6.

FITTING WIRE CUP BRUSHES
Wire cup brushs screw directly on the spindle of the machine without the use of flanges. When using wire
brushes, thread firmly on spindle by hand.
REMOVING THE WHEEL GUARD (FIG. 7 SANDING ONLY)
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE TOOL.
NOTE: TO PREVENT LOSS OF CONTROL, DO NOT SET TOOL DOWN UNTIL ACCESSORY HAS COM-
PLETELY STOPPED TURNING.
As shown in Fig. 7, place the grinder on a table, spindle up. Rotate the guard in the direction of the arrow
until it stops. Use a small screwdriver to depress the locking pin in the slot. While holding the locking pin down
with the screwdriver, turn the guard slightly in the direction of the arrow to keep the locking pin depressed.
Remove the screwdriver and continue to turn the guard until it is released.
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
cleanup is completed.
2. A dustmask 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 DUSTMASKS 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 NIOSH APPROVED PROPER
MASK.
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.
FITTING ABRASIVE DISCS
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG THE TOOL.
Use an abrasive disc with a backing pad for sanding with your angle grinder.
1. Remove the guard.
2. Place the flange, (backing pad and abrasive disc sold separately) and outer flange on the spindle as
shown in Figure 8. Figure 8A shows how to attach an abrasive disc with a rubber backing pad.
3. Tighten the abrasive disc as shown in Figure 9 by depressing the spindle lock button and turning the
abrasive disc by hand.
GENERAL INFORMATION
HELPFUL HINTS
• Hold your angle grinder with one hand on the body and the other hand firmly around the side handle as
shown in Figure 10.
• Always position the guard so that as much of the exposed disc as possible is pointing away from you.
• Be prepared for a stream of sparks when the disc touches the metal.
• Maintain an angle between the disc and work surface (Fig. 11) of approximately 30° when grinding and 10°-
15° when sanding ( Fig. 12) for best tool control, material removal, and minimal loading.
Always wear eye protection while operating this power tool.
WARNING:
TOOL MAINTENANCE
CLEANING: Blowing dust and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is a necessary maintenance
procedure. Dust and grit containing particles from metal grinding often accumulate on interior surfaces and
could create an electrical shock hazard if not cleaned out.
LUBRICATION
Black & Decker tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use. Tools should be lubricated
regularly every year depending on usage. (Tools used on heavy duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may
require more frequent lubrication.) This lubrication should be attempted only by trained power tool

AVERTISSEMENT! Lire et comprendre toutes les directives. Le non-respect de toutes les directives suivantes
présente des risques de secousses électriques, d'incendie ou de blessures graves.
CONSERVER CES MESURES
ZONE DE TRAVAIL
•S'assurer que la zone de travail est propre et bien éclairée. Des établis encombrés et des endroits sombres
présentent des risques d'accidents.
•Ne pas utiliser des outils électriques en présence de vapeurs explosives (comme celles dégagées par des
liquides, des gaz ou des poussières inflammables). Les étincelles générées par le moteur des outils
électriques peuvent enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.
• Éloigner les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs de la zone de travail lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique.
Une distraction peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise de l'outil.
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ RELATIVES À L'ÉLECTRICITÉ
•Les outils à double isolation comportent une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que l'autre). La fiche
n'entre que d'une façon dans une prise polarisée. Lorsque la fiche n'entre pas à fond dans la prise,
essayer de nouveau après avoir inversé les broches de la fiche. Si la fiche n'entre toujours pas dans la
prise, communiquer avec un électricien certifié afin de faire installer une prise polarisée. Ne modifier en
aucune façon la fiche. La double isolation
•Éviter de toucher à des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des
réfrigérateurs. Les risques de secousses électriques sont plus élevés si le corps de l'utilisateur est mis à la
terre.
•Protéger les outils électriques de la pluie ou des conditions mouillées. Une infiltration d'eau dans l'outil
augmente les risques de secousses électriques.
•Manipuler le cordon avec soin. Ne jamais se servir du cordon afin de transporter l'outil ni tirer sur le
cordon pour débrancher l'outil. Éloigner le cordon des sources de chaleur, des flaques d'huile, des arêtes
tranchantes et des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement les cordons endommagés. Les cordons
endommagés augmentent les risques de secousses électriques.
•Lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique à l'extérieur, se servir d'un cordon de rallonge prévu pour l'extérieur,
portant la mention "W-A" ou "W". Ces cordons sont conçus pour servir à l'extérieur et minimisent les
risques de secousses électriques. Lorsqu'on se sert d'un cordon de rallonge, s'assurer qu'il est de calibre
approprié pour la tension nécessaire au fonctionnement de l'outil. L'utilisation d'un cordon de calibre
inférieur occasionne une baisse de tension entraînant une perte de puissance et la surchauffe. Le tableau
suivant indique le calibre approprié selon la longueur du cordon et les mentions de la plaque signalétique de
l'outil. En cas de doute, utiliser un cordon de calibre supérieur. Le chiffre indiquant le calibre est inversement
proportionnel au calibre du cordon.
SÉCURITÉ PERSONNELLE
•Demeurer vigilant, prendre soin et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu'on utilise un outil électrique. Ne pas
s'en servir lorsqu'on est fatigué ou affaibli par des drogues, de l'alcool ou des médicaments. De graves
