Warning! The vibration emission value during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used. The vibration level may increase above the
level stated.
When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety
measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons
regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of
vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of
use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of
all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time.
Labels on tool

Electrical safety
#

wire is required. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the

Centre in order to avoid a hazard.

Assembly
Warning! Before assembly, make sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged.
Fitting and removing a saw blade (g. B & C)
Fitting
Place the blade over the location pin (7).
Rotate the blade upward through 90° until it is fully located
in the saw blade slot (8) and the location pin is in the
locked position.
Make sure the blade is securely tted by trying to remove
it without depressing the blade release button (3).
If you are unable to t the blade, check if the location pin is
in the correct position as shown in g. C. If it is not, keep the
blade release button depressed and use a screwdriver to turn
the location pin into the correct position.
Removing
Keep the blade release button (3) depressed and rotate
the blade downward through 90°.
Take the blade sideways off the location pin and slide it
out of the tool.
Release the blade release button.
Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Switching on and off (g. D)
To switch the tool on, push the two lock-off buttons (2)
into the unlock position and press the variable speed
switch (1).
To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.
Sawing (g. E)
If possible, always hold the tool with both hands.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
Use the same back and forth movement you would
employ with a normal hand saw. This enables a quicker
and cleaner cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing wood
Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
metal objects.
When splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard
to both sides of the workpiece and saw through this
sandwich.
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal. Use a ne-
tooth saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw
blade for nonferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut
through this sandwich.
Spread a lm of oil along the intended line of cut.
Cutting branches
Cut downward and away from your body.
Make the cut close to the main branch or tree body.
Operating in jigsaw mode (g. F)
Remove the blade.
Rotate the shoe (9) through 270°.
Secure the shoe.
Fit the blade.
Maintenance
Your BLACK+DECKER tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.
