MOTOR
Your tool is powered by a Black & Decker specified motor. Be sure your power supply

only means that the tool is designed to operate on normal 120 volt house current. Voltage
decrease of more that 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All Black & Decker
tools are factory tested. If this tool does not run, check the power supply.
REMOVING & REFITTING THE BLADE
WARNING: Always ensure the unit is unplugged from the power supply when changing
blades.
Your saw has a new blade clamping mechanism. Before using the saw familiarize yourself
with the removal of the blade and refitting the blade securely in the saw. Always ensure the
tooth protector is fitted when changing blades.
REMOVING THE BLADE (FIGURE B)
Ensure blade has cooled after use. Press and hold the rear of the blade release button
fully, hold the back of the blade and rotate it through 90 degrees until the toothed side of
the blade meets the housing. Slide the blade sideways off the retaining pin and remove
from the saw.
FITTING A BLADE (FIGURES C,D)
Place the blade, with the tooth protector fitted, over the location pin. The blade teeth should
be facing the handle. (Fig. C)
Note: To ensure that the blade fits properly, make sure the locking pin position mirrors that

of the saw as shown in the insert of Fig. C. (Housing cover removed for clarity.) If the
locking pin is not parallel to the bottom of the saw, use a flat bladed screwdriver to rotate
the pin back to the proper starting position.
Rotate the blade through 90° until it is fully located in the slot and the location pin is in the
locked position. (Fig. D)
To ensure the blade is securely fitted try to remove without pressing the blade release
button. Remove the tooth protector, your saw is now ready for use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER SWITCH (FIGURE E)
Your saw is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch that allows you greater control
over start of cut, rate of cut and breakthrough of cut.

USING TOOL (FIGURE F)
Hold tool with two hands as shown in Figure F. To obtain the best results from your saw,
use the same backward and forward movement you would employ with a traditional hand
saw. This will enable a quicker cleaner cut.
CUTTING METAL

copper, brass, aluminum, etc. with the specified blade. See recommended materials.
It is advisable when cutting thin sheet to clamp a backing sheet of soft wood or plywood to
the work as this will enable you to obtain a cleaner cut. Both metal and wood backing are
sawn together. Do not force the cutting blade into the metal as this will reduce the life of the
blade and possibly damage the motor. Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting even
a relatively thick piece of wood, so do not be tempted to speed up the operation by forcing
the saw. Only use the metal cutting blade for this purpose.
