Safety Warnings and Instructions: Charging the Battery Pack
1.This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2.Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
3.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker Battery Packs. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
4.Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5.Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black & Decker may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
6.To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when disconnecting charger.
7.Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
8.An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a.
b.An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

9.Use only the supplied charger when charging your battery pack. The use of any other charger could damage the battery pack or create a hazardous condition.
10.Use only one charger when charging.
11.Do not attempt to open the charger or the battery. There are no customer serviceable parts inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.
12.DO NOT incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged or completely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.
13.A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a.Wash quickly with soap and water.
b.Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c.If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a
Charging the Battery Pack
THE BATTERY PACK IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1.Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet. NOTE: Do not charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source. Use only 120V AC
2.Slide the charger onto the battery pack as shown in Figure 1 and let the battery charge initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours.
3.Unplug charger, and remove the battery pack. Place the battery in the tool and be certain that it is inserted fully into the tool cavity until it “clicks” into place.
NOTE: To remove the battery from the saw, press down on the release button on the back of the battery (Figure 2) and slide out.
Important Charging Notes
1.After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the battery pack is
2.DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or above 105°F.(40,5 °C) This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged when air temperature is about 75°F.(24°C).
3.While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem.
4.If the battery pack does not charge
5.The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its battery pack in a depleted condition.
6.To prolong battery pack life, avoid leaving the battery pack on charge for extended periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery pack life.
7.The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging. Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging the batteries.
Maintenance Stage
The trickle charge feature of the charger allows the battery pack to remain in the charger and ready for use. With the charger connected to standard household current, the red charging indicator light will glow constantly. The charger will keep the battery pack fully charged. A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger.
Removing & Refitting the Blade
WARNING: Always ensure that the battery is removed from the tool when changing blades.
Removing the Blade (Figure 3)
Ensure blade has cooled after use. Press and hold the rear of the black blade release button fully, hold the back of the blade and rotate it 90 degrees in a downward direction. Slide the blade sideways off the location pin and remove from the saw.
Fitting a Blade (Figure 4,5)
Place the blade, with the tooth protector fitted, over the location pin. The blade teeth should be facing the handle. Rotate the blade through 90° until it is fully located in the slot and the location pin is in the locked position.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.
NOTE: If you are unable to fit the blade, check to see if the slot in the location pin is straight up and down. If it is not, keep the blade release button depressed and use a flat bladed screwdriver to turn the location pin into the correct position as shown in Figure 5.
Operating Instructions
WARNING: When cutting, hold saw firmly with two hands as shown in Figure 7.
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Figure 6)
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.
To switch your saw on, slide
Cutting With Tool (Figure 7)
Hold tool with two hands as shown in Figure 7. 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
Your saw can be used for cutting light gauge ferrous and
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.

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 (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
