FOR POWER TOOLS

DOUBLE-INSULATION

Your tool is DOUBLE-INSULATED to give you added safety. This means that it is constructed throughout with TWO separate “layers" of electrical insulation or one DOUBLE thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical system.

Tools built with this improved insulation system are not in tended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two-prong plug which permits you to use any conventional 120 volt electrical outlet without concern for maintaining a ground connection.

NOTE: DOUBLE-INSULATION does not take the place of norma! safety precautions when operating this tool. The improved insulation system is for added protection against injury result ing from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

CAUTION: When servicing Double-Insulated Tools, it is extremely important that ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS BE USED.

EXTENSION CORD

When using the tool at a considerable distance from the power source, an extension cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and over-heating. Use the table below to determine m.inimum wire size required.

Before using cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any needed repairs or replace ment before using your power tool.

LUBRICATION

After every 15 hours of actual running time, place 2 drops of

machine oil in the oil hole located in the side of the tool near the front. It is recommended that, at least once a year, you take or send the tool to a B&D Service Center for a thorough cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gear case.

ATTACHING BLADES

WHEN SAWING, never reach under or behind the material being cut for any reason.

MOTOR

Your Black and Decker tool is powered by a B&D-built motor. Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 ¥olts 50/60 Hz means Alternating Current (normal 120

volt, 60 cycle house current). 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 supply line for blown fuses; plug and receptacle for contact.

Disconnect tool from extension cord or wall receptacle. Loosen screw at side of chuck with screwdriver. Insert blade in chuck as far as it will go (about Tighten screw until it is firm against blade.

Your B&D Dealer carries a wide selection of Jig Saw Blades for cutting many kinds of materials. These include wood, metal, plastics, fiberglass, formica, asbestos, slate, etc.

SWITCH

FIGUiE 1

Push the Switch Button forward to turn the saw “ON”. As you push the button forward it will first dick into a position expos ing the letters “LO” (Figure 1). This is the low speed position for cutting metals and plastics.

Pushing the button farther forward until it clicks again will expose the letters “HI” (Figure 2). This is the high speed posi tion for cutting woods and composition boards.

Pulling the switch button ail the way back turns the tool “OFF” (Figure 3).

The Jig Saw Shoe may be tilted to permit bevel cutting at any angle from 0° to 45^ To change the angle of the shoe, loosen screw (see above) and tilt shoe to desired cutting angle with blade. Retighten screw. Cutting angles of 0° and 45° are indi cated on the left side, raised portion of shoe when viewed from

rear of saw.

IVOOD CUTTING

Be sure board is firmly posi tioned. Hold Jig Saw by the convenient overhead handle and operate switch to turn the unit on. Don’t attempt to turn on when blade is against mate rial to be cut. This could stall the motor. Place front of shoe on material to be cut and hold Jig Saw shoe down firmly against the wood while cutting. Don't force the tool; let the blade cut at its own speed. Whenever possible, clamp or support work close to the line of cut; when the cut is com pleted, shut off power and lay the saw aside before loosening the work.

CAUTION: When sawing into walls, floors or wherever “live” eieccrical wires may be encountered, DO NOT TOUCH ANY

METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL! Hold the Jig Saw only by its plastic

handle to prevent electric shock if you saw into a “live” wire.

METAL CUTTING

In cutting thin gage sheet metals it is best to clamp wood or plywood to bottom of metal sheet, this will Insure a clean cut

without the danger of vibration or tearing of metal. Always

remember to use a finer blade for ferrous metals (those that have an iron content). Use a coarser blade for non-ferrous metals (those that do not have an iron content).

A pocket cut is an easy method of making an Inside cut. The saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board without first drilling a lead or pilot hole. In pocket cutting measure the surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the saw forward until the front edge of the shoe sits firmly on the work surface. Switch the too! on and allow it to attain maximum speed. Grip the handle firmly and lower the back edge of tool until the blade cuts smoothly into material. Always be sure blade reaches its complete depth before starting to cut.

CIRCLE CUTTING

Ripping and circle cutting without a pen cil line are easily done with the No. U-

2151

Accessory Rip Fence and Circle Guide. (The attachment of this Accessory is explained In the drawing below.) When ripping; insert rip fence in either side of saw; adjust to width of cut and tighten thumb screw. When circle cutting, insert rip fence from either side with cross bar facing up; adjust rip fence so that dis

tance from blade to hole in cross bar is the desired radius and tighten thumb

screw; place saw so that center of hole in cross bar is over center of circle to be cut (make pocket cut, drill hole for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade into position). When saw Is properly positioned, drive a small nail through hole of cross-bar into exact cen ter of circle to be cut. Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting circle.

THUMB SCREW

The Nut and Thumb Screw shown above are included with this Accessory. Hold the nut in the position shown and thread the thumb screw into it just enough to

hold the nut loosely in position. Pull up on the thumb screw and slide

the Rip Fence under the nut from either side of the Saw. Set the cross bar at desired distance from blade and tighten thumb screw. For ripping the cross bar should be down as shown. For circle cut ting the cross bar should be up.
