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 injury. 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.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or 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

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.

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. Replace or repair
damaged cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the tool’s plug.

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. 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 following table 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.

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 tool may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before

plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

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.

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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be

caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be
avoided.

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.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use

of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.

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.

b) If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the

manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Specific Safety Rules

a) 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.

b) Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach underneath the material for

any reason. 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.

c) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a

stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable

and may lead to los of control.

d) Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under

pressure.

90501323 FS6000JSL 4/5/06 11:06 AM Page 3

e) When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are free from water, electrical

wiring, etc.

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, and

• 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 disperse 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.

Motor

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means
your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on
DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC
or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss
of power and can result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this
tool does not operate, check the power supply.

Operating the Laser

Your saw is equipped with a laser which is turned on and off separately from the jig saw.

WARNING: NEVER aim the beam at a workpiece with a reflective surface. Bright
shiny reflective sheet steel or similar reflective surfaces are not recommended for laser
use. Reflective surfaces could direct the beam back toward the operator.

DANGER: LASER RADIATION. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. Do not stare into
the laser light source. Never aim light at another person or object other than the
workpiece. Laser light can damage your eyes.

WARNING: DO NOT use tinted glasses to enhance the laser light. Tinted glasses

will reduce overall vision for the application and interfere with the normal operation of the
tool.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES (FIG. E)

Detach the laser from the jig saw by removing the screw (20) and pulling laser (10)
forward. Insert 2 fresh 1.5 volt AAAbatteries making sure to match (+) and (-) terminals
correctly. Reattach the laser.

WARNING: Batteries can explode, or leak, and can cause injury or fire. To reduce
this risk:

• Carefully follow all instructions and warnings on the battery label and package.

• Always insert batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -), marked on the battery
and the equipment.

• Do not short battery terminals.

• Do not charge batteries.

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Replace all of them at the same time with new batteries
of the same brand and type.

• Remove dead batteries immediately and dispose of per local codes.

• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.

• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

• Remove batteries if the device will not be used for several months.

“Transporting batteries can possibly cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
The US Department of Transportation Hazardous Material Regulations (HMR) actually
prohibit transporting batteries in commerce or on airplanes (i.e. packed in suitcases
and carryon luggage) UNLESS they are properly protected from short circuits. So
when transporting individual batteries, make sure that the battery terminals are
protected and well insulated from materials that could contact them and cause a short
circuit.”

ADJUSTING THE LASER SIDE TO SIDE (FIG. F)
NOTE: Laser is intended to be a cutting aid and does not guarantee a precise cut.

Use laser adjustment screw (22) to align laser line with saw blade if needed.

WARNING: Laceration Hazard: DO NOT adjust the laser when the jig saw is

plugged in.

WARNING: Laser circuit will reduce output visibility (power) of laser when overheated.

Laser may be not visible when saw is overloaded for prolonged period of time. Laser
visibility (power) will gradually return back to normal when tool cools down even if the tool
is unplugged.

WARNING: Do not leave overheated laser ON unattended. Make sure the switch is in
the OFF position as shown in the inset of figure D. Remove the batteries to cut power to
the laser.

Hints for Optimum Use

GENERAL

- Use a high speed for wood, a medium speed for aluminum and PVC and a low speed

for metals other than aluminum.

SAWING LAMINATES

As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may occur on the surface closest
to the shoe plate.

- Use a fine-tooth saw blade.

- Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.

- To minimize splintering, 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.

- When cutting thin metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back surface of the

workpiece and cut through this sandwich.

- Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ GÉNÉRALES

AVERTISSEMENT! Lire toutes les directives. Tout manquement aux directives

suivantes pose des risques de choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou de blessure
grave. Le terme « outil électrique » dans tous les avertissements ci-après se
rapporte à votre outil électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles
(sans fil).

AVERTISSEMENT : Afin de réduire le risque de blessures, l’utilisateur doit

lire le mode d’emploi.

CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES

1) SÉCURITÉ DU LIEU DE TRAVAIL

a) Tenir la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les endroits sombres sont souvent

des causes d'accidents.

b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, soit en

présence de liquides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussière. Les outils

électriques produisent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussière ou les
vapeurs.

c) Éloigner les enfants et les curieux au moment d’utiliser un outil électrique. Une

distraction pourrait vous en faire perdre la maîtrise.

2) SÉCURITÉ EN MATIÈRE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ
a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais

modifier la fiche en aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d’adaptation avec un

outil électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par l’utilisation
de fiches non modifiées correspondant à la prise.

b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des

tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc

électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à d'autres conditions où il

pourrait être mouillé. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil électrique augmente le

risque de choc électrique.

d) Ne pas utiliser abusivement le cordon d’alimentation. Ne jamais utiliser le

cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le cordon
éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles.

Les cordons endommagés ou emmêlés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.
Remplacer ou réparer les cordons endommagés. S’assurer que la rallonge est en
bon état. Utiliser uniquement une rallonge à 3 fils pourvue d'une fiche de mise à la
terre à 3 lames et une prise à 3 fentes correspondant à la fiche.

e) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge

convenant à une telle utilisation. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur

réduit les risques de choc électrique. Lorsque qu’une rallonge électrique est utilisée,
s’assurer d’en utiliser une de calibre suffisamment élevé pour assurer le transport du
courant nécessaire au fonctionnement de votre appareil. Un cordon de calibre
inférieur causera une chute de tension de ligne et donc une perte de puissance et
une surchauffe. Le tableau suivant indique le calibre approprié à utiliser selon la
longueur du cordon et l’intensité nominale de la plaque signalétique. En cas de
doute, utiliser le calibre suivant le plus gros. Plus le numéro de calibre est petit, plus
le cordon est lourd.
