will gradually return to normal when the tool cools down even
when the tool is unplugged.
Warning! Do not leave the overheated laser switched ON.
Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position and remove the
batteries to remove power from the laser.
Using the laser (fig. J and K)
The laser projects the line of cut (18) on to the surface of the
workpiece.
To switch the laser on, press the button (16).
To switch the laser off, press the button (16) again.
Viewing from directly above the jigsaw, the line of cut (17)
can be easily followed. Should this view be restricted for any
reason, the laser can be used as an alternative cutting guide.
Use a pencil to mark the cutting line (17).
Position the jigsaw over the line (17).
Switch on the laser.
Operating the work light (fig. L and M) ('W' units only)
Units that include a 'W' in the catalogue number are provided
with an LED light (19) to illuminate the area around the
blade.
To switch the work light on, slide the switch (20) to the on
position (I).
To switch the work light off, slide the switch (20) to the
off position (0).
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface. The most common saw
blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate
is sitting on the presentation surface either use a saw blade
that cuts on the downward stroke or:
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through
this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood
to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through this
sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.

Maintenance

Your Black & Decker tool has been designed to operate over
a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a soft
brush or dry cloth.
Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do
not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner. Never let
any liquid get inside the tool and never immerse any part of
the tool into liquid.

Safely dispose of the old plug.
