GATILLO INTERRUPTOR

WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions list-

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

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

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

• 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
fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation

eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an

outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A”
or “W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. 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.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• 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
medication. 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
hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. Awrench or 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 enables 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.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to a 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.Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such 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.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges 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 tools 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 become hazardous when used on
another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could 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 electric shock or injury.W ARNING! Read and
understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

ADDITIONAL 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

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

• KEEP HANDS AWAY from cutting area. Never reach underneath the material for any rea-

son. Hold front of saw by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not insert fingers or thumb
into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by grip­ping the shoe.

• KEEP BLADES SHARP. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con-

struction 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.
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.

OPERATION

CAUTION: THE BLADE GUARD IS THERE FOR YOUR SAFETY. DO NOT REMOVE IT.
CAUTION: Always wear eye protection while operating this power tool.

NOTE:Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent

slipping.

• Place blade and blade guard lightly against work to be cut.

• Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed before applying pressure.

• Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting. Whenever possible, the saw guard
must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or
vibrating and minimize blade breakage.

INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW

• Securely tighten blade.

• Keep shoe firmly against work surface.

VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER (FIGURE 1)

The Variable Speed Trigger provides drilling versatility. The further the trigger is depressed,
the higher the speed of the saw. To turn the saw OFF, release the trigger.

CAUTION: Use a very slow speed when beginning a cut. Prolonged use at very slow speed

may damage your saw.

BLADE CLAMPING (FIGURE 2)

CAUTION: TURN OFF AND UNPLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY.

To install blade into saw:

1. Loosen set screw.

2. Insert blade shank from the front between the reciprocating shaft and the blade clamp.
Locate hole in blade over pin on reciprocating shaft.

3. Tighten set screw. If the blade should break off and the shank does not come out of the
clamp, be sure the set screw is loose and eject the shank with a nail or pointed object.
If the blade should break off and the shank does not come out of the clamp, be sure the set
screw is loose and eject the shank with a nail or pointed object.

NOTE: A special pin holds the blade clamp on the reciprocating shaft to prevent the clamp
from coming off when set screw is loosened.

FLUSH CUTTING (FIGURE 3)

• The compact design of the reciprocating saw motor housing and blade guard permit
extremely close cutting to floors, corners and other difficult areas.

•To maximize flush cutting capabilities, insert the blade shaft into the blade clamp with the
teeth of the blade facing up.

•Turn the saw upside down so you are as close to the work surface as possible.

WOOD CUTTING (FIGURE 4)

• Before cutting any type of wood, be sure the work piece is firmly anchored or clamped to
prevent slipping.

• Place blade and blade guard lightly against work to be cut.

• Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed before applying pressure.

• Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting. Whenever possible, the saw guard
must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or
vibrating and minimize blade breakage.

METAL CUTTING (FIGURE 5)

•This unit has different metal cutting capacities depending upon type of blade used and on
the metal to be cut.

• Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials.

• In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides of sheet. This will ensure
a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of metal.

•Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage.

NOTE: You should spread a thin film of oil or other coolant along the line ahead of the saw
cut for easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred.

POCKET CUTTING -WOOD ONLY (FIGURE 6)

• Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber.

• Insert pocket cutting blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp securely.

•Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the guard is resting on the work surface.

• Switch motor on, always permitting blade to attain maximum speed.

• Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw.

• The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure blade is completely through mate­rial before continuing with pocket cut.

NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the saw guard as a guide.
WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.

•Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, carbon dust etc.

• When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, etc.,they are subject to accel­erated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings are high­ly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc. During any use on fiberglass it is extreme­ly important that the tool be cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.

LUBRICATION

Your tool was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. Once every year take or send
your tool to a Black & Decker service center, or authorized service station, for a complete
cleaning, inspection and lubrication. Tools used continuously on production jobs will need
relubrication more often. Tools "out of service" for long periods should be relubricated before
being put back to work.When these tools are used on sports cars, boats etc., it has been
found

that they are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass
chips are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators and other parts.

Consequently it is not recommended that this tool be used for continuous production work on
any fiberglass material. During any use on fiberglass it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing through with an air jet.

ACCESSORIES

The accessories listed in this manual are available at extra cost from your local dealer or
Black & Decker service center.

CAUTION: The use of any accessory or attachment other than those recommended in

this manual may be hazardous.

PROJECT TIPS

• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor while
cutting.

• When cutting, always ensure that the shoe is resting against the workpiece. This will improve
operator control and minimize vibration.

• Blades available include both straight and slightly angled shanks. If you are using a straight
shanked blade in wood, hold the saw at a slight angle to the cutting plane to improve cutting
performance.

• For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded to high
speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.

IMPORTANT

To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY , repairs, maintenance and adjustments should
be performed by Black & Decker service centers or other qualified service organizations,
always using Black & Decker replacement parts.

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 élimine le besoin d'un cordon trifilaire mis à la terre et

d'un système d'alimentation mis à la terre.

•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 blessures peuvent résulter d'un moment

d'inattention lors de l'utilisation d'un outil électrique.

•Porter des vêtements appropriés. Éviter de porter des vêtements amples ou des
bijoux. Recouvrir la chevelure si elle est longue. Éloigner les cheveux, les vêtements et
les gants des pièces en mouvement qui peuvent les happer.

•Éviter les démarrages accidentels. S'assurer que l'interrupteur est en position hors
tension avant de brancher l'outil. Afin d'éviter les risques de blessures, ne pas transporter
l'outil avec le doigt sur l'interrupteur ni brancher un outil dont l'interrupteur est en position
sous tension.

•Enlever les clés de réglage avant de mettre l'outil sous tension. Une clé qui est laissée
sur une pièce rotative de l'outil présente des risques de blessures.

•Ne pas dépasser sa portée. Garder son équilibre en tout temps. On s'assure d'une
meilleure maîtrise de l'outil dans des situations imprévues grâce à une position stable et un
bon équilibre.

•Porter de l'équipement de sécurité. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité. Dans
certaines conditions, il faut porter des masques respiratoires, des chaussures
antidérapantes, un casque de sécurité ou des protège-tympans.

UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L'OUTIL

•Utiliser des pinces de serrage ou de tout autre moyen pratique afin de fixer et de
soutenir la pièce à ouvrer sur une plate-forme stable. La pièce est instable lorsqu'elle est

retenue par la main ou le corps de l'utilisateur. Cela présente des risques de perte de
maîtrise de l'outil.

•Ne pas forcer l'outil. Utiliser l'outil approprié à la tâche. L'outil approprié fonctionne
mieux et sûrement lorsqu'on s'en sert à son rendement nominal.

•Ne pas se servir de l'outil lorsque l'interrupteur est défectueux. Le cas échéant, l'outil
est dangereux et il faut le réparer.

•Débrancher l'outil de la source d'alimentation avant de le régler, d'en remplacer les
accessoires ou de le ranger. On minimise de la sorte le risque de démarrage accidentel de
l'outil.

•Ranger l'outil hors de portée des enfants et de toute autre personne qui n'en connaît
pas le fonctionnement. L'outil est dangereux entre les mains de ces personnes.

•Prendre soin des outils. S'assurer que les outils de coupe sont tranchants et
propres. Des outils bien entretenus à arêtes tranchantes ont moins tendance à se coincer et
ils se maîtrisent mieux.

•Vérifier l'alignement et les attaches des pièces mobiles, le degré d'usure des pièces

ainsi que tout autre facteur susceptible de nuire au bon fonctionnement de l'outil.
Faire réparer un outil endommagé avant de s'en servir. Des outils mal entretenus sont la

cause de nombreux accidents.

•Utiliser seulement les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant. Des accessoires qui
conviennent à un outil peuvent présenter des risques avec un autre outil.

ENTRETIEN

•Confier l'entretien de l'outil seulement à du personnel qualifié. Le non-respect de la
présente directive présente des risques de blessures.

•Lors de l'entretien de l'outil, utiliser seulement des pièces de rechange identiques.
Respecter les consignes relatives à l'entretien du présent guide d'utilisation. Il y a
risque de secousses électriques ou de blessures lorsqu'on utilise des pièces non autorisées
ou lorsqu'on ne respecte pas les consignes relatives à l'entretien.
