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 below.

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.

Assembly/Adjustment Set-up

INSTALLING BLADES

WARNING: Before attempting any of the following operations, make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged and that the saw blade has stopped. Used saw blades can be hot.

Using a flat blade screwdriver, loosen (do not remove) the two screws "A" in Figure B. Ensure the blade teeth are facing forward and insert the saw blade shank fully into the blade clamp. Slightly tighten screws alternately to position the blade, then fully tighten screws. To release, turn both screws one turn counterclockwise.

Note: To improve cutting performance, ensure back of blade is touching blade support roller. See "Roller Support Guide"for instructions on how to change position of blade support roller.

BLADE SUPPORT ROLLER TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL.

The blade support roller on your jigsaw improves its performance when cutting tough materials by adding support to the blade. This support should be adjusted so that the roller touches the back of the blade when cutting. Ensure the blade is aligned with the groove in the roller. Adjust the support roller by loosening the screw on the bottom of the shoe (Fig.B) and moving the shoe so that the roller touches the back edge of the blade. Retighten screw. Lubricating the guide roller from time to time with a drop of oil will extend the life of the roller. NOTE: Roller support guide not applicable when shoe is beveled to 45 degrees.

ON/OFF SWITCH

BEFORE PLUGGING YOUR JIGSAW IN, ENSURE THAT THE TRIGGER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION.

To turn the saw on, squeeze the trigger switch, as shown in Figure C. To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch. The tool can be locked on for continuous operation by fully squeezing and holding the trigger switch while you depress the lock-on button shown in Fig. C. With the lock-on button depressed, release the trigger switch and the tool will continue to run. To release from lock position, squeeze and release the trigger. Always disengage the lock before disconnecting from the power supply.

BEVEL ADJUSTMENT

TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL.

To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the screw (approximately 3 full turns) on the bottom of the shoe, as shown in Figure B. Lift the shoe slightly and pull backward, then set the shoe at 45° and retighten screw. To reset the shoe for a square cut, loosen the screw and move the shoe until it is approximately 90° to the blade. Adjust the blade support roller to the blade and retighten the screw.

GENERAL CUTTING

Be sure board is firmly secured. Hold jigsaw by the handle and operate switch to turn the unit on. Don’t attempt to turn on the unit when blade is against material to be cut. This could stall the motor. Place front of shoe on material to be cut and hold jigsaw shoe down firmly against the work surface while cutting. Don’t force the tool; let the blade cut at its own speed. Whenever possible, clamp or support work close to the line of cut; when the cut is completed, shut off power and lay the saw aside before loosening the work.

AUTOMATIC DUST BLOWER

To aid visibility when cutting, your jigsaw is equipped with an automatic dust blower (Fig. C) which will keep the work area clear of dust as you saw.

BLADE STORAGE

A convenient blade storage compartment (Fig. D) is provided at the rear of the saw.

METAL & PLASTIC CUTTING

In cutting thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood or plywood to the bottom of the metal sheet; this will insure a clean cut without the danger of vibration or tearing of metal. Use a fine-tooth blade for ferrous metals (for those that have an iron content); and use a coarser blade for nonferrous metals (those that do not have an iron content).

Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting relatively thick wood so do not be tempted to speed up the process by forcing the saw. Spread a thin film of cutting lubricant along the cutting line (any light weight oil).

When cutting laminated plastic, place the finished side down and use a fine tooth hollow ground blade.

POCKET CUTTING

Measure the surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the saw forward until the front edge of the shoe sits firmly on the work surface, but with the blade well clear of it Figure E.

Turn the tool on and allow it to attain maximum speed by fully depressing the trigger switch.

Grip the handle firmly and slowly lower the back edge of tool until the blade cuts smoothly into material. Do not move the jigsaw forward along the cut line until the saw blade has completely entered the material and shoe comes to rest flat on its surface.

RIP & CIRCLE CUTTING

Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done with the rip fence and circle guide (available at extra cost).

Using the screw supplied with the accessory guide, position as shown in Figure F and thread the screw into the shoe to clamp the fence securely.

When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole in cross bar is at the desired radius and tighten screw (use hole which lines up best with saw blade). Place saw so that hole in cross bar is over center of circle to be cut (make pocket cut, drill hole for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade into position). When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail through hole in cross bar. Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting circle. For circle cutting, the cross bar should be up, as shown in Figure F.

When ripping, slide the rip fence under the screw from either side of the saw. Set the cross bar at desired distance from blade and tighten screw. For ripping, the cross bar should be down and against the straight edge of the workpiece.

MAINTENANCE

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
