to reduce the risk of kickback

•Keep a firm grip on saw with both hands at all times.

•Stay alert – exercise control.

•Support long overhanging materials. As the material is cut and weakens, it will sag, causing a pinched blade.

•Support large panels as shown (Fig. 1). Material supported only at the ends (Fig. 2) will lead to blade pinching.

•Avoid sawing overhead. Material can sag and will pinch blade.

•Insure that the material to be cut is clamped (figure 3) and solidly supported and balanced on a strong, stable and level work surface. Support the work so that the wide portion of the saw shoe is on the portion of the material that doesn’t fall after the cut is made. Never hold cut off piece by hand

(figure 4 )

•Keep blades sharp and clean.

•Use fence or straight edge guide when ripping. Be careful as the cut off strip can sag or twist, closing the cut and pinching the blade, leading to KICKBACK.

•Don’t force tool. Wood variables such as knots, hardness, toughness, wetness, pressure treated and freshly cut green lumber can heavily load the saw which can lead to stalling. Push the saw slower when this occurs.

•Don’t remove saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving.

•Allow saw to reach full speed before blade contacts material to be cut. Starting the saw with the blade against the work or pushed forward into cut can lead to stalling or sudden backward movement of saw.

•Never attempt to lift saw when making a bevel cut. This leads to blade binding and stalling.

•Always secure work to prevent workpiece movement during cut.

•Do not try to force saw back on line if your cut begins to go off line. This can cause

KICKBACK. Stop saw and allow blade to coast down to a stop. Withdraw from cut and start a new cut on the line.

•Set depth adjustment of saw such that one tooth of the blade projects below the workpiece as shown in (figure 7).

•Do not back up a rotating blade in the cut. Twisting the saw can cause the back edge of the blade to dig into the material, climb out of the work and run back toward the operator.

•Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

Motor

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC 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 your 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. This tool is AC only.

INTENDED USE

This circular saw is designed for wood cutting applications. Do not use water feed attachments with this saw. Do not use abrasive wheels or blades. Do not use under wet conditions or in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

With a powerful 10 amp motor, the chainsaw delivers a high level of performance that allows users to make quick and clean cuts through tough materials.

Safety is a key consideration in the design of the CS1015. It is equipped with a robust safety brake that stops the chain in less than a second if the saw kicks back, providing peace of mind for users who may be new to chainsaw operation. Additionally, the tool features a two-handed grip design that enhances stability and control during operation, reducing the risk of accidents.

The CS1015 also incorporates a tool-free chain tensioning system, making it easier to adjust the chain for optimal performance without needing additional tools. This feature is particularly valuable for users who frequently need to change or adjust the chain during work. Furthermore, the automatic oiler ensures that the chain is adequately lubricated during use, enhancing its longevity and reducing wear.

In terms of weight, the CS1015 is lightweight and easy to handle, allowing users to maneuver it comfortably for extended periods.
