made. Never hold cut off piece by hand
(figure 4 ). KICKBACK from blade pinch
can result. Keep both hands on saw at all
times.

• STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE
CONTROL. Keep body positioned to
one side of blade. Always maintain a firm
grip and control of saw with both hands.
Do not change hand grip or body
position while saw is running. Take
precaution to avoid injury from cut off
pieces and other falling material during
operation.
DANGER: RELEASE SWITCH
IMMEDIATELY IF BLADE BINDS OR
SAW STALLS
• KICKBACK CAN BE CAUSED BY the
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
saw blade becoming pinched, twisted or
bound while cutting, or when the saw
stalls. When the blade becomes twisted
or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the
back edge of the blade can dig into the
top surface of the wood causing the
blade to climb out of the cut and move
suddenly back toward the operator.
• Keep a firm grip on saw with both hands
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF KICKBACK
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.
• 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 8).
• 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.

nameplate marking. Do not operate AC
tools on DC. 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

ASSEMBLY / ADJUSTMENT
SET-UP
WARNING: Always unplug saw from
power supply before any of the
following operations.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
The depth of cut should be set according
(FIG. 6 & 7)
to the thickness of the workpiece.
• Loosen the lever (12) to unlock the
saw shoe.
• Move the saw shoe (4) into the desired
position. The corresponding depth of
cut can be read from the scale (13).
• Tighten the lever to lock the saw shoe
in place.
• Set depth adjustment of saw such that
one tooth of the blade projects below
the workpiece as shown in figure 7.
