•crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

•arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber (CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

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.

Motor

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking.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

Assembly

WARNING: Sharp blade. To prevent accidental operation, turn off and unplug saw before performing the following operations. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury.

Fitting the saw blade (fig. A)

-Hold the saw blade (7) as shown, with teeth facing forward.

-Push the lever (4) downwards.

-Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder (15) as far as it will go.

-Release the lever.

-Adjust the blade support roller as described below.

AccuCutTM blade support roller (fig. B)

AfterScrewdriverfitting theMethodblade, you need to adjust the blade support roller (5).

-Turn the slotted blade support adjustment screw (6) in direction A.

-Slide the blade support roller against the rear of the blade. The blade must locate in the central recess of the roller.

-ToolTurnFreeth bladeMethodsupport adjustment screw in direction B to lock the blade support in place. - The blade support roller can be adjusted in a “tool free” manner, by turning the scroll

ing knob (8) so that the adjustment screw is rotated around to the front of theunit where it can be turned by hand.

Connecting a vacuum cleaner to the tool (fig. C & D)

- Align the dust extraction adaptor (14) with the saw shoe as shown. - Insert the ribs (16) into the slots (17).

- Pull the adaptor towards the rear of the jigsaw to secure.

- DustConnextractionct the vacuumis notcleanerpossiblehosewhen(18) (notmakingsupplibeveld) tocutsthe. adaptor.

WARNING: Fire Hazard. Do not use vacuum adapter when cutting metal. Metal filings will be hot and could cause a fire in the vacuum container.

Operation

WARNING: Laceration Hazard. To prevent loss of control, never use the tool when the saw shoe is loose or removed. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury.

Adjusting the shoe plate for bevel cuts (fig. E)

The shoe plate can be set to a left or rightAbevel angle of up to 45°.

- Turn the locking knob (11) in direction to release the shoe plate (10).

- Pull the shoe plate (10) backwards and set it to the required angle. You can use the scale or a protractor to check the angleB.

- Turn the locking knob (11) in direction to lock the shoe plate in place. To reset the shoe plate for straight cuts: A

- Turn the locking knob (11) in direction to release the shoe plate (10). - Pull the shoe plate backwards and set it to an angle of approximately 0.

- Push the shoe plate forward. B

- Turn the locking knob (11) in direction to lock the shoe plate in place. Make sure that the shoe plate is supported by the guide ribs.

Variable speed control

-Set the variable speed control knob (3) to the required speed range. Use a high speed for wood, medium speed for aluminum and PVC and low speed for metals other than aluminum.

Switching On and Off

-To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).

-For continuous operation, press thelock-on button (2) and release the on/off switch.

-To switch the tool off,release the on/off switch. To switch thetool off, when in continuous operation, press the on/off switch oncemore and releaseit.

Using the mode selector

The mode selector (9) figscan Fsetandin 3Gpositions

1. Scrolling position () - this position allows the scroller knob (8) to be rotated for intricate and accurate sawing. (In this position there is no orbital action.)

2.Straight cutting position (figs Ha, Hb and Hc ) this position turns off orbital action and locks the scroller knob to prevent its rotation. The scroller knob can be locked in any Methodof 4 p sitionsof engagement:for straigh cutting.

a.Turn the Mode Selector to the scrolling position.

b.Rotate the scroller knob to the desired position (this can be any of 4 positions - the blade can point forwards, reverse, left or right).

c.Turn the Mode Selector to the neutral position. (In this position the Scroller Knob cannot be turned).

3.Orbital Action Position (figs Ia, Ib and Ic) - this position switches on the orbital action for fast and efficient straight cuts. This mode can only be selected with the bladeIt is recommended to use scroller blades when in this mode.

Methodpointingofforwardsengagement:.

a. Turn the mode selector to the scrolling position.

b. Rotate the scroller knob to point the blade forwards.

c. Turn the Mode Selector to the orbital position. (In this position the Scroller Knob cannot be turned).

How to Use the Sightline® Feature (fig. J)

-Use a pencil to mark the cutting line.

-Position the jigsaw over the line (19).

Viewing from directly above the jigsaw the line of cut can be easily followed. Should this view be restricted for any reason, the indent (20) can be used as an alternate cutting guide.
