6.To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack on charge for more than 8 hours. Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall power pack life.
7. When the battery is inserted into the charger, the red “Charging Indicator” light will come on indicating that there is contact between the battery and charger. The light will stay on as long as the battery is in the charger and the charger is plugged into a working outlet. It WILL NOT flash, go out or change to a different color when the charging cycle is complete.

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 and shoe lightly against work to be cut.
•Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed before applying pressure.
•Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting as shown in Figure 1. Whenever pos- sible, 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.

CAUTION: TURN OFF AND REMOVE BATTERY FROM TOOL.
To install blade into saw:
1.Open blade clamp release lever to its full open position as shown in Figure 3.
2.Insert blade shank from the front.
3.Close blade clamp release lever.
To remove blade from saw:
1.Open blade clamp release lever to its full open position.
2.Remove blade.
FLUSH CUTTING (FIGURE 4)
•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.
WOOD CUTTING (FIGURE 5)
•Before cutting any type of wood, be sure the work piece is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
•Place blade and shoe lightly against work to be cut.
•Switch on saw motor before applying pressure.
•Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting. Whenever possible, the shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrat- ing and minimize blade breakage.
METAL CUTTING
•Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for
•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: You should 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 6)
•Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber.
•Insert pocket cutting 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.
•Switch motor on, permitting blade to attain 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 mate- rial 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 against the workpiece. This will improve operator control and minimize vibration.
•For longer blade life, use
MAINTENANCE
REMOVE BATTERY FROM SAW 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 various 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 subject 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 blow- ing with an air jet.
LUBRICATION
REMOVE BATTERY FROM SAW WHEN PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR OTHER MAINTENANCE.
Your tool was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. Once every year take or send your tool 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 organizations, always using identical replacement parts
ACCESSORIES
The CRS144 FIRESTORMTM reciprocating saw will accept up to a 12 inch long blade. Always use the shortest blade suitable for your project. 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.
Recommended accessories for use with your tool are available from your local dealer or authorized service center. If you need assistance regarding accessories, please call:
WARNING: The use of any accessory not recommended for use with this tool could be hazardous.

MESURES DE SÉ CURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT : Lire et comprendre toutes les directives. Le
CONSERVER CES MESURES.
ZONE DE TRAVAIL
•S’assurer que la zone de travail est propre et bien é clairé e. Des établis encombrés et des endroits sombres présentent des risques d’accidents.
•Ne pas utiliser des outils é lectriques en pré sence de vapeurs explosives (comme celles dé gagé es par des liquides, des gaz ou des poussiè res inflammables). Les étincelles générées par le moteur des outils électriques peuvent enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.
•É loigner les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs de la zone de travail lorsqu’on utilise un outil é lectrique. Une distraction peut entraîner la perte de maîtrise de l’outil.
MESURES DE SÉ CURITÉ RELATIVES À L’É LECTRICITÉ
•Les outils à double isolation comportent une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que l’autre). La fiche n’entre que d’une façon dans une prise polarisée. Lorsque la fiche n’entre pas à fond dans la prise, essayer de nouveau après avoir inversé les broches de la fiche. Si la fiche n’entre toujours pas dans la prise, communiquer avec un électricien certifié afin de faire installer une prise polarisée. Ne modifier en aucune façon la fiche. La double isolation 
é limine le besoin d’un cordon trifilaire mis à la terre et d’un systè me d’alimentation mis à la terre.
•É viter de toucher à des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisiniè res et des ré frigé rateurs. Les risques sont alors plus élevés si le corps de l’utilisateur est mis à la terre.
