ENGLISH
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.
If possible, work with the shoe (1) pressed against the
workpiece. This will improve tool control and reduce tool
vibration, as well as prevent the blade from being
damaged.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing wood
Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
metal objects.
Holding the tool with both hands, work with the shoe (1)
pressed against the workpiece.
Flush cutting (fig. F)
The compact design of the reciprocating saw motor housing
and pivoting shoe permit close cutting to floors, corners and
other difficult areas.
To maximize flush cutting capabilities:
Insert the blade shaft into the blade clamp with the teeth of
the blade facing up.
Turn the saw upside down so you are as close to the work
surface as possible.
Sawing metal (fig. G)
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal. Use a fine-tooth
saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw blade for
non-ferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap wo od
to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through this
sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
Pocket cutting in wood (fig. H)
Measure and mark the required pocket cut.
Fit a saw blade suitable for pocket cutting.
Rest the shoe (1) on the workpiece in such a position that
the blade forms an appropriate angle for the pocket cut.
Switch on the tool and slowly feed the blade into the
workpiece. Make sure that the shoe (1) remains in contact
with the workpiece at all times.
Cutting branches
Branches up to 25 mm in diameter can be cut with this tool.
Warning! Do not use the tool while in a tree, on a ladder or on
any other unstable surface. Be aware of where the branch will
fall.
Cut downward and away from your body.
8
Make the cut close to the main branch or tree body.
Vertical cutting
The tool allows close cutting to corners and other difficult
areas.
Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder with
the teeth of the blade facing upward.
Hold the tool with the shoe (1) facing downward so that you
are as close to the work surface as possible.
Cut forward and away from your body.
Accessories
The performance of your tool depends on the accessory
used.
Black & Decker and Piranha accessories are engineered to
high quality standards and designed to enhance the
performance of your tool. By using these accessories you
will get the very best from your tool.
Blades
The saw will accept a blade up to 30 cm long. Always use the
shortest blade suitable for your project but long enough to
keep the blade cutting through the material. Longer blades
are more likely to be bent or damaged during use. During
operation some longer blades may vibrate or shake if the
saw is not kept in contact with the workpiece.
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 tool
care and regular cleaning.
Regularly clean the ventilation slot s in your tool 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.
Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
Safely dispose of the old plug.
Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the new plug.
Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
Warning! No connection is to be made to the earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 10 A.
