WARNING:Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed 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. Use in well ventilated areas only.
• 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.
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, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents cover
moving parts and should be avoided.
• 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 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
2

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.
Specific 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.
• The label on your tool may include the
following symbols.

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 chemicallytreated 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.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing
protection during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to
hearing loss.
CAUTION: Do not touch the bit or
collet nut during or immediately after
cutting material. The bit and collet nut
may be hot enough to burn bare skin.
WARNING: After changing bits or
making any adjustments, make sure the
collet nut is securely tightened to avoid
injury.
WARNING: Do not press spindle lock
while motor is running. The operator may
lose control and drop the tool. Personal
injury or serious tool damage may result.
WARNING: Shut off all live electric
circuits to any areas where cut outs will be
made, to avoid fire or serious personal
injury.
• Always wear eye protection. Dust mask
or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions. Using personal
safety devices is recommended. WORK
SAFE.
• Always operate the tool with the
depth guide in place. The guide keeps
the bit from plunging too deeply through
the material. A minimum of penetration
should be maintained to eliminate the
danger of cutting into electric wiring.
• Do not lay the tool down until the
motor has come to a complete stop.
The spinning motor may cause the tool
to roll off a table or into a piece of
material damaging the bit.
• Be sure your cutting bits are sharp

and in good condition. Damaged bits
can cause the tool to jump injuring the
operator.
•If your tool fails to function properly,
take it to an authorized service
center. There are no user serviceable
parts inside this tool and it should only
be opened by trained service
personnel.
TO MAINTAIN SAFE TOOL CONTROL
• Make sure the work surface is free of
nails or screws. Cutting into a nail or
screw may cause the tool to jump,
damaging the bit.
• Never operate the tool with one hand
while holding the workpiece with the
other hand. Always clamp the material
and guide the tool with both hands.
• Do not cut material lying on a hard
surface. Clearance behind material to be
cut must be allowed for protruding bit.
•
Disconnect plug from power supply
before making adjustments, changing
bits, or cleaning tool.
• Do not start the tool with bit
engaged in the material. The bit may
grab the material.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good
condition before using. Always use the
proper size extension cords with the tool –
that is, proper wire size for various lengths
of cord and heavy enough to carry the
current the tool will draw. Use of an
undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. For proper size cords see
chart.
MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with
nameplate marking. 120 volts AC means
your tool may be operated only with
alternating current and never with direct
current.
SWITCH (FIG. 1)
To start the motor, slide the switch (A) to “I”
position. To stop the motor, slide the
switch to “O” position.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE BIT
(FIG. 2)
To change bits, FIRST turn off the tool and
disconnect from power supply.
1. To replace bit, depress and hold
spindle lock (B) and turn collet nut (C)
counter clockwise with the wrench
provided.
2. Remove old bit. CAUTION: Bit may
be hot.
3. Insert new bit.
WARNING: The bits are sharp and
should be handled with care.
CAUTION: When replacing bits, do
not insert cutting flutes into the collet.
This may result in broken bits.
4. While depressing spindle lock, turn the
collet nut clockwise with the wrench to
firmly tighten the collet.
CAUTION: Never tighten the collet
without a bit installed.
NOTE: Rotary saw accessory bits can be
stored in the wrench handle. See Fig. 3.
CHANGING THE COLLET (FIG. 4)
Some accessories require different sized
collets. The two collets used with
Black & Decker accessories are 1/8" and
1/4". The RS250 comes with both the 1/8”
and 1/4” collets as standard equipment.
TO CHANGE THE COLLET:
CAUTION: Collet may be hot.
1. Turn off tool, allow it to come to a
complete stop and disconnect from
power supply.
2. Depress and hold in spindle lock (B)
and turn collet nut (C) counterclockwise
with the wrench provided.
3. Remove the collet nut and collet from
the threaded spindle (see Fig. 4).
4. Thread the new collet nut and collet

DEPTH GUIDE (FIGS. 5,6,7)
CAUTION: Remove bit from collet
before installing or removing depth guide
or handle.
Keep depth guide ((E) Fig. 5) in place at all
times during operation of the tool. For best
results, adjust the guide using lock knob
((F) Fig. 6) to allow the bit to protrude a
minimum of 1/8" past the material to be
cut. Whenever the handle has been
removed and is being reattached, it is
recommended that the depth guide and
handle be aligned together. Loosely attach
handle to depth guide and place both on a
flat surface. Hold down the base of the
depth guide to keep it even with the flat
surface and tighten the knob of the handle
as shown in Figure 7.
Operation
GENERAL CUTTING
A handy scale on the wrench (Fig.8) can
be used to help determine the cutting
depth. When plunge cutting, hold the tool
firmly with both hands, insert the bit into
the material at a 45º angle. Slowly bring
the tool to a 90º angle to start the cut.
When cutting from the edge of the
workpiece, hold the tool 90º to the work
surface. With depth guide in contact with
work surface, slowly bring bit into contact
with edge. The depth guide should be kept
in contact with the material being cut at all
times. Move the tool in a clockwise
direction using slow steady pressure to
continue the cut. When the cut is
completed allow the tool to come to a
complete stop before lifting it from the
material.
DUST BLOWER
To aid visibility when cutting, your rotary
saw is equipped with a dust blower (Fig.6)
which can be used to keep the work area
clear of dust as you saw. It can also be
turned to block the air flow if desired.
CUTTING A HOLE FOR AN
ELECTRICAL OUTLET (FIG. 9)
WARNING: Shut off all live electric
circuits to any areas where cut outs will be
made.
Install the followpoint bit shown here. It is
designed specifically for use with cutting
out outlet boxes.
1. Push any wiring deeply into the outlet
box to avoid damage from the cutting
bit.
2. Before hanging the sheet covering the
outlet, mark the approximate location
of the center of the outlet on the wall
board. Check the cutting bit depth
against the side of the board to be
sure it will cut entirely through the
material.
3. Tack the sheet in place with a few
fasteners avoiding the stud holding
the outlet. This allows the wall board
to flex slightly around the protruding
fixture box.
4. Turn the rotary saw on. Holding the
tool firmly with both hands, (Fig. 9)
plunge the bit straight into the center
of the outlet.
5. Cut to the right until the edge of the
box is touched. Pull out just enough
for the bit to clear the edge of the box.
Plunge in again holding the bit gently
against the outside of the box.
6. Follow the outside of the box
(counterclockwise) as shown keeping
slight pressure against the box. This
will minimize wandering and give you
a clean precise cut.
NOTE: This is opposite of the
recommended clockwise direction for
general cutting.
7. Remove the waste and dust from the
outlet. Finish fastening the sheet of
wall board.
MAINTENANCE
The tool should be cleaned with a blast of
air often, to eject as much dust as
possible. This will increase the life of the
brushes and bearings inside the motor.
Always use appropriate safety equipment
when using compressed air to clean a tool.
The brushes in this tool are replaceable
and can be accessed through the panels
on either side of the tool housing. Black
and Decker recommends that brush
replacement be performed by a company
owned or authorized service center.
Although the tool’s plastic case is solvent
resistant, you should never use solvents
or harsh chemicals to clean it. Wipe the
non-metallic parts of the tool with a dry
cloth.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY
and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance
and adjustment should be performed by
authorized service centers or other
qualified service personnel, always using
identical replacement parts.
