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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
CAUTION: Always wear eye protection while operating this power tool.
NOTE: Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to pre- vent slipping.
•Place blade lightly against work to be cut.
•Switch on saw motor before applying pressure.
•
WARNING: LACERATION HAZARD. Never hold and use the product with your fingers wrapped around shoe adjustment button. Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting as shown in Figure 1. Whenever possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.
SWITCH (ON-OFF) (FIGURE 2)
Depress the trigger switch to turn tool “ON”. Releasing the trigger turns the tool “OFF” NOTE: This tool has no provision to lock the switch in the ON position, and should never be locked in the ON position by any other means.
VARIABLE SPEED SELECTOR WHEEL (FIGURE 3)
The variable speed selector wheel offers a choice of speeds for greatly improved cutting rates in various materials. To select a slower speed for operating the saw, rotate the wheel to a low number on the dial. To select a higher speed, rotate the wheel to a higher number.
TWO-SPEED (DUAL RANGE) SWITCH (FIGURE 3A) QP5002 ONLY
The 2-speed selector offers a choice of speeds for greatly improved cutting rates in various materials. Note that the High-Speed setting is more efficient in softer materials such as wood, while the Low-Speed is best for cutting metals.
LOW SPEED (Move slide switch to show 1). For cutting sheet metal, metal pipe, metal conduit, etc.
HIGH SPEED (Move slide switch to show 2). For cutting wood, plastic, composition boards and other similar materials.
BLADE CLAMP RELEASE LEVER (FIGURE 4)
CAUTION: TURN OFF AND UNPLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY WHEN CHANGING BLADES.
To install blade into saw:
1.Lift the blade clamp release lever to its full open position as shown in Figure 4.
2.Insert blade shank from the front locating hole in blade over pin on reciprocating shaft.
3.Close blade clamp release lever.
4.Check to ensure blade is secure before cutting.
To remove blade from saw:
1.Open blade clamp release lever to its full open position.
2.Remove blade.
ADJUSTABLE SHOE (FIGURE 5)
CAUTION: TURN OFF AND UNPLUG SAW.
The shoe will adjust to limit the depth of cut. Hold the saw with the underside facing up. Push the button (shown in Figure 5) on the hand grip and slide the shoe out to one of the three settings and release the button.
FLUSH CUTTING (FIGURE 6)
•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.
METAL CUTTING (FIGURE 7)
•Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials.
•In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides of sheet. This will ensure a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of metal.
•Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage. NOTE: Spread a thin film of oil or other coolant along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred.
POCKET CUTTING - WOOD ONLY (FIGURE 8)
•Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber.
•Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp securely.
•Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe is resting on the work surface and the moving blade will clear the surface.
•Switch motor on, permitting blade to obtain maximum speed.
•Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw.
•The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure blade is completely through material before continuing with pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the shoe as a guide.
PROJECT TIPS
•Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor while cutting.
•When cutting, always ensure that the shoe is resting firmly against the workpiece. This will improve operator control and minimize vibration.
•For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded to high speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.
MAINTENANCE
UNPLUG SAW AND REMOVE ACCESSORY WHEN PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR OTHER MAINTENANCE. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
•Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to vari- ous types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust etc.
•When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, drywall etc.,they are sub- ject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings and drywall dust are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc. During any use on fiberglass or drywall it is extremely important that the tool be cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
LUBRICATION
Your saw was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. Once every year take or send your saw to a Black & Decker service center, or authorized service station, for a complete cleaning, inspection and lubrication. Tools "out of service" for long periods should be relubricated before being put back to work.
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
ACCESSORIES
BLADES
The QP5000 and QP5002 Reciprocating Saws will accept up to a 12 inch long blade. 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.
PRUNING ATTACHMENT
A pruning attachment is also available for use with your QP5000 and QP5002 Reciprocating Saw. This accessory attaches to the shoe of the saw and applies spring loaded pressure to the branch while cutting.
Recommended accessories for use with your saw are available from your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance regarding accessories, please call:

Règles de sécurité générales
AVERTISSEMENT : S'assurer de lire et de comprendre toutes les directives. Ne pas suivre les directives figurant ci-après peut causer un choc électrique, un incendie et des blessures corporelles graves.
CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES
Espace de travail
•Tenir l’espace de travail propre et bien éclairé. Les bancs de scie encombrés et les endroits sombres sont souvent des causes d'accidents.
•Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans une atmosphère inflammable, soit en présence de liquides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussière. Les outils électriques produisent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs. Ne les utiliser que dans les endroits bien aérés.
•Éloigner les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs au moment d’utiliser un outil électrique. Une distraction pourrait vous en faire perdre la maîtrise.
Sécurité en matière d'électricité
•Les outils à double isolation sont dotés d’une fiche polarisée (une lame de contact est plus large que l’autre). Cette fiche ne se branche que d’une seule façon dans une prise de courant polarisée. Si la fiche ne s’insère pas totalement dans la prise de courant, l’inverser. Si elle ne s’insère toujours pas dans la prise, demander à un électricien compétent d’installer une fiche polarisée. Ne pas remplacer la fiche. La double isolation 
élimine la nécessité d’utiliser un cordon d’alimentation muni d’une fiche à trois fils avec mise à la terre et un bloc d’alimentation avec mise à la terre.
•Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des cuisinières ou des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est plus élevé lorsque votre corps est mis à la terre.
•Ne pas exposer ses outils électriques à la pluie ou à un environnement humide. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc électrique.
•Ne pas utiliser abusivement le cordon d’alimentation. Ne pas utiliser le cordon d’alimentation pour transporter l’outil ni tirer dessus pour le débrancher de la prise de courant. Tenir le cordon éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement tout cordon endommagé. Un cordon endommagé augmente le risque de choc électrique.
•Lorsqu’un outil électrique est utilisé à l’extérieur, utiliser une rallonge pour l’extérieur portant la mention « W-A » ou « W ». Ces rallonges sont classées pour un usage extérieur, ce qui réduit le risque de choc électrique.
Sécurité personnelle
•Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil électrique est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d'outil en cas de fatigue ou de prise de drogue, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un moment d’inattention, durant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique, peut se solder par des blessures graves.
•S’habiller de manière appropriée. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples ni de bijoux. Attacher les cheveux longs. Garder les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants à l'écart des pièces mobiles. Les vêtements amples, bijoux ou cheveux longs pourraient s'enchevêtrer dans les pièces mobiles. Se tenir à l'écart des évents, car ils couvrent des pièces mobiles.
•Attention de ne pas mettre en marche l’outil accidentellement. S’assurer que l’interrupteur est en position d’arrêt avant de brancher l’outil. Transporter un outil en
