Use
Adjusting the shoe plate for bevel cuts (fi g. F)
The shoe plate (4) can be set to make either
a straight cut or a bevel cut at an angle of 45°.
♦ Loosen the screw (9) (approximately 3 full
turns).
♦ Lift the shoe plate (4) slightly and pull
backward, then rotate the shoe plate until the
slot in the shoe plate reaches the 45° position.
♦ Tighten the screw (9).
To reset the shoe plate (4) for straight cuts:
♦ Loosen the screw (9).
♦ Rotate the shoe plate (4) until the slot in the
shoe plate reaches the 0° position, then push
the shoe plate forwards.
♦ Make sure that the saw blade support roller (5)
is adjusted correctly.
♦ Tighten the screw (9).
Switching on and off
♦ To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch
(1).
♦ To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch
(1).
♦ For continuous operation, press the lock-on
button (2) and release the on/off switch (1).
♦ To switch the tool off when in continuous
operation, press and release the on/off switch
(1).
Sawing
Hold the tool fi rmly with both hands while cutting.
The shoe should be held fi rmly against the material
being cut. This will help prevent the saw from
jumping, reduce vibration and minimise blade
breakage.
♦ Let the blade run freely for a few seconds
before starting the cut.
♦ Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while
performing the cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates splintering may occur
which can damage the presentation surface. The
most common saw blades cut on the upward
stroke, therefore if the shoe plate is sitting on the
presentation surface either use a saw blade that
cuts on the downward stroke or:
♦ Use a fi ne-tooth saw blade.
♦ Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
♦ Clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard
to both sides of the workpiece to minimise
splintering, 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 sheet metal, clamp a piece
of scrap wood to the back surface of the
workpiece and cut through this sandwich.
♦ Spread a fi lm of oil along the intended line of
cut.

Maintenance

Your Black & Decker tool has been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper care and regular cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance
or cleaning, make sure that the tool is switched
off and unplugged and that the saw blade has
stopped.
♦ Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool
and charger using a soft brush or dry cloth.
♦ Regularly clean the motor housing using
a damp cloth. Do not use any abrasive or
solvent-based cleaner. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool and never immerse any part of
the tool into liquid.
