General safety rules
Warning! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Safety instructions
General power tool safety warnings.
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas invite accidents.
b. 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.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Note: The term "Residual Curent Device (RCD)" can be
replaced by "Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)" or by
"Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB)".
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
4
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
ENGLISH
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
6. Electrical safety
This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth wire
is required. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Warning! If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, authorized Black & Decker Service
Center or an equally qualified person in order to avoid
damage or injury. If the power cord is replaced by an equally
qualified person, but not authorized by Black & Decker, the
warranty will not be valid.

Specific safety rules
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece
• Do not reach underneath the work. The guard can not
protect you from the blade below the work.
Lower guard function
• Check lower guard for proper closing before each
use. Do not operate the saw if lower guard does not
move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie
the lower guard into the open position.
• Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If the
guard and the spring are not operating properly, they
must be serviced before use.
5
ENGLISH
• Lower guard may be retracted manually only for
special cuts such as "plunge cuts" and "compound
cuts". Raise lower guard by retracting handle and as
soon as blade enters the material, the lower guard must
be released.
• Always observe that the lower guard is covering the
blade before placing saw down on bench or floor.
Cutting procedures
• DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area and
the blade. Keep your second hand on auxiliary
handle, or motor housing.
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
• Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece.
• NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg. It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control.
• 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 also make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
• When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance for blade binding.
• Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond vs. round) arbor holes. Blades that do not
match the mounting hardware of the saw will run
eccentrically, causing loss of control.
• Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or
bolts. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Causes and operator prevention of kickback
• Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw to lift
up and out of the workpiece toward the operator.
• When the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf
closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reaction
drives the unit rapidly back toward the operator.
• If the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the
teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig into the top
surface of the wood causing the blade to climb out of the
kerf and jump back toward operator.
• Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
a. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the saw and
position your body and arm to allow you to resist
KICKBACK forces. Kickback forces can be controlled by
the operator, if proper precautions are taken.
b. When blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw
motionless in the material until the blade comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw
from the work or pull the saw backward while the
blade is in motion or KICKBACK may occur.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the
cause of blade binding.
c. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the
saw blade in the kerf and check that the saw teeth are
not engaged into the material. If saw blade is binding, it
may walk up or KICKBACK from the workpiece as the
saw is restarted.
d. Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade
pinching and KICKBACK. Large panels tend to sag
under their own weight. Support must be placed under
the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel.
e. Do not use dull or damaged blade. Unsharpened or
improperly set blades produce narrow kerf causing
excessive friction, blade binding, and KICKBACK.
f. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers must
be tight and secure before making cut. If blade
adjustment shifts while cutting, it may cause binding and
KICKBACK.
g. Use extra caution when making a “Pocket Cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
blade may cut objects that can cause KICKBACK.

Safety guidelines/ definitions
It is important for you to read and understand this manual.
The information it contains relates to protecting Your Safety
and Preventing Problems. The symbols below are used to
help you recognize this information.
Danger! Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
Warning! Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
Caution! Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.
Caution! Used without the safety alert symbol
indicates potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, may result in property damage.
Additional safety rules for circular saws
Warning! Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
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,
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
(CCA).
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.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
Warning! Use of this tool can generate and/or
disburse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for
the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
Caution! Wear appropriate hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing
loss.
• Snagging the lower guard on a surface below the
material being cut can momentarily reduce operator
control. The saw can lift partially out of the cut increasing
the chance of blade twist. Ensure there is sufficient
clearance under the workpiece.
• When necessary to raise lower guard manually, use
the retracting lever.
• Keep the Blades Clean and Sharp. Sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback. The use of dull and/or
dirty blades can increase the saw loading causing the
operator to push harder which promotes twisting.
Caution! Laceration Hazard. Keep hands
away from cutting areas. Keep hands away
from blades. Never place hands in front of or behind the path
of the blade while cutting. Do not reach underneath work
while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material
when blade is moving.
• Support large panels. Large panels must be supported
as shown (Fig. A) in this manual to minimize the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Material supported only at
the ends (Fig. B) will lead to blade pinching. When cutting
operation requires the resting of the saw on the
workpiece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion
and the smaller piece cut off.
• Use only correct blades and blade assembly
components when mounting blades. Do not use
blades with incorrect size holes. Never use defective or
incorrect blade washers or bolts. Follow blade assembly
procedures.
7
ENGLISH
• Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and bevel
adjustments are tight.
• Support and secure the work properly. Insure that the
material to be cut is clamped (Fig. C) and solidly
supported and balanced on a strong, stable and level
work surface. Support the work so that the wide portion
of the saw shoe is on the portion of the material that
doesn’t fall after the cut is made. Never hold cut off piece
by hand (Fig. D). KICKBACK from blade pinch can
result. Keep both hands on saw at all times.
• Stay alert and exercise control. Keep body positioned
to one side of blade. Always maintain a firm grip and
control of saw with both hands. Do not change hand grip
or body position while saw is running. Take precaution to
avoid injury from cut off pieces and other falling material
during operation.
Danger! Release switch immediately if blade
binds or saw stalls.
