PJJ. SAFETY RULES

^ FOR POWER TOOLS

MOTOR

Your Black and Decker tool is powered by a B&D-built motor.

Be sure your power supply agrees with voltage marked on name

plate. Volts AC means Alternating Current (25 to 60 cycles) only.

1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL - Read owner's manual care fully. Learn its applications and limitations as well as the

specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool. GROUND ALL TOOLS - UNLESS DOUBLE-INSULATED. If

tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be plugged

Volts AC/DC means it will also operate on Direct Current (single speed unit only). Voltage variation of more than 10% will cause

loss of power and over-heating. All B&D tools are factory-tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power supply line for

blown fuses and the plug and receptacle for proper contact.

into a three-hole electrical receptable. If adapter is used to

accommodate two-prong receptacle, the adapter wire must

be attached to a known ground. Never remove third prong.

3. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches

invite accidents.

5. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tool

in damp or wet locations. And keep work area well lit.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe dis tance from work area.

7. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be

stored in dry, high or locked-up place — out of reach of

children.

8. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to

do the job of a heavy duty tool.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. No loose clothing or jewelry to get caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and footwear are recommended when working outdoors.

11. USE SAFETY GLASSES with most tools. Also face or dust

mask if cutting operation is dusty.

12. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp edges.

13. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to

operate tool.

14. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all

GROUNDING

These units are equipped with approved 3-conductor power cord and 3-prong grounding type attachment plug to be used with the

proper grounding type receptacle, in accordance with the National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code, and Underwriters'

Laboratories specifications. The green colored conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. It is connected to the metal frame of the unit inside the housing and to the longest prong of the attachment plug. terminal.

If your unit requires less than 150 volts it has a plug that looks like Fig. "A". It will fit directly into the proper type of 3-wire grounding receptacle. The unit is then grounded automatically each time it is plugged in.

Shown In Fig. "B” is a special grounding adapter (not allowed

in Canada by the Canadian Electrical Code) which is available

from your dealer and will permit using a 2-wire receptacle. The

green grounding wire extending from the side of the adapter

must be connected to a Permanent Ground.

If the unit requires from 150 to 250 volts, it has a plug like Fig.

“C”. No adapter is available and the plug must be used in the

proper 3-wire grounding receptacle.

If you use an extension cord, be sure that it is a 3-conductor,

grounding type cord. Grounding must be continuous from the

tool plug to the grounded receptacle.

Never connect the green wire to a 'live”

times.

15. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp at all times, and clean for best and safest performance. Follow

instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing,

when changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.

17. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit

of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are

WHEN RETRACTING the lower blade guard, always use the

retracting lever on the guard. NEVER TIE BACK the lower blade guard or its retracting knob.

3. WHEN SAWING never reach underneath the material.

4. KEEP BLADE SHARP. Dull blades may cause the saw to

5. swerve or stall under pressure.

IF YOU DROP or damage the saw, unplug it first; then check

to see if the blade and lower blade guard operate freely be fore resuming operations.

source, a 3-conductor, grounding-type extension cord of ade quate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and over-heating. Use the table below for 120-volt tools. For 220-volt tools, see same chart but use a wire size corresponding

to an extension cord length shown which is % the length of

extension to be used.

P.T.I. Safety Rule #12 applies to Extension Cords as well as the

Tool Power Cord. Before using cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any needed repairs or replacement before using your power tool.

MOUNTING SAW BLADES

BEVEL ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

POCKET CUTTING

SAW ACCESSORIES:

1. BE SURE THE SAW IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY!

2. To remove blade clamping screw;

— a. ON NEW SAWS (without blade attached), turn screw counter-clockwise with blade wrench provided. If screw does not loosen easily from spindle, tap the outer end of the

wrench sharply in a counter-clockwise direction with a piece of wood to "free" the screw threads. Remove screw and outer clamp washer.

- b. ON SAWS WITH BLADE ATTACHED, turn the blade so

that the single hole In the rim is exposed at the front of the saw. Put a nail through this hole and turn the blade counter clockwise until the nail is against the housing and stops the blade from turning. Turn the blade clamping screw counter clockwise with the blade wrench and remove the screw and outer clamp washer.

3. To attach the blade, retract the lower blade guard and slip the blade over the saw spindle against the inner clamp washer with printed side of blade out (teeth at bottom of blade pointing forward). Place outer clamp washer or spindle so that "flats" in washer fit "flats" on spindle. Thread on clamp ing screw to hold washer in position. Place a nail through hole in blade rim so that nail rests on front of saw base and

keeps blade from turning. Tighten clamping screw (clock

wise) securely with the blade wrench.

BE SURE SAW IS UNPLUGGED. When cutting any material with

steel blades, the most efficient depth adjustment is one that

permits the blade tooth depth only to project below the bottom of the material (except when using Carbide Tipped Blades, where only 1/2 oi the tooth tip should project below the material). This keeps blade friction at a minimum, removes sawdust from the cut and results In cooler, faster sawing. Correct cutting depth is obtained by: (1) Place the saw in the position shown above and loosen the wing nut on the inside of the blade guard. (2) Raise or lower the base until the blade projects from the base the de

sired distance. Retighten wing nut securely.

DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE MAKING THIS OR ANY OTHER ADJUSTMENT. The adjustable base (shoe)

permits bevel cutting at any angle between 45° and 90°, The quadrant on the front of the saw is calibrated for accurate adjustment. To set saw for bevel angle cut, loosen wing nut and tilt base to angle desired. Retighten wing nut securely.

SWITCH

Pull the trigger switch to turn the motor "ON". Releasing the trigger instantly turns the motor "OFF," but the blade will

continue to rotate for a short time. For safer operation, this tool

has no provision to lock the switch in the "ON" position.

OPERATION

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE SAW BEFORE MAKING ANY AD-

JUSTMENTS. Place the work with its "good” side — the one on

which appearance is msore important — down. The saw cuts

upward, so any splintering will be on the face that is up when

you saw it. Support the stock so that the cut will be on your

right, with the wider base portion of the saw base on that part of the work piece which is solidly supported, not on the section

that will fall off when the cut is made. If the stock is short or

small, clamp it down. Don’t try to hold short pieces by hand.

Draw the required guide lines then rest the front of the saw base

(shoe) fiat on top of the work, with the guide notch correctly aligned. Run the stationary blade lightly against the edge of the work, back it off a little, and only then start the motor. Advance

the saw into the wood. The telescoping blade guard will swing

back by itself. Feed the tool at the speed at which the blade cuts easily. Remember that hardness and toughness can vary even in the same piece. A knotty or damp section can put a heavy load on the saw; when this happens feed more slowly. Feed the saw hard enough to keep it working without much decrease in speed. Forcing it beyond this makes for rough cuts, inaccuracy, and overheating of the motor.

Should your cut begin to go off the line, don’t try to force it back on. It's best, of course to make errors on the waste side of the line. Then you can withdraw the saw, sight anew, and start a new cut a trifle inside the wrong one. In any event,

withdraw the saw if you must shift the cut. Forcing a correction

inside the cut can stall the saw and perhaps spoil the work. IF

SAW STALLS, RELEASE THE TRIGGER, DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY AND THEN BACK THE SAW UNTIL IT

IS LOOSE. BE SURE BLADE CLEARS THE WORK BEFORE RE STARTING CUTTING.

As you finish a cut, release the trigger and allow the blade to stop before lifting the saw from the work. As you lift the saw the spring-tensioned telescoping guard will automatically close under the saw. Remember the blade is exposed until this occurs; never reach under the work for any reason whatsoever. When you have to retract the telescoping guard manually (as is neces sary for starting pocket cuts) always use the retracting lever.

Adjust saw base (shoe) so blade cuts at desired depth. Tilt saw forward and rest front of base on materia! to be cut. Using lever, retract blade guard to an upward position. Lower rear of base until blade teeth almost touch cutting line. Now release the blade guard and its contact with the work will keep it in position to open freely as you start the cut. Start the motor and gradually iov^/er the saw until its base rests fiat on the material to be cut. Advance saw along cutting line until cut is completed.

Release trigger and allow blade to stop completely before with drawing the blade from the material. \Yhen starting each new cut, repeat as above. Never tie the blade guard In a raised position.

MOTOR BRUSHES

Carbon motor brushes

should be inspected fre

quently for wear. To in

spect brushes, FIRST, UN

PLUG SAW FROM POWER SUPPLY. Then, with a screwdriver, slide the

brush cover plates out ward and the brush spring will pop out Put the / spring, with attached wire extended out of the open

ing into the position shown at right and tilt the saw so that the carbon brush will drop out of the opening. If the brush is worn down to the grooved line on its side, a new brush is needed and can be obtained from any B&D Service Center see "TOOLS, ELECTRIC" in Yellow Pages.

To reassemble, insert brush with worn end toward motor, or a

new brush with longest distance from end to grooved line toward

motor. Next, insert the

small brass plate behind the brush, and

then feed in the spring until the round spring cap fits flush with the opening. This allows the cover plate to be pushed back into the closed position.
