Troubleshooting - Black & Decker Matrix BDCMTR Instruction Manual

metal cutting (FiguRe e)
• Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for
non-ferrous materials.
• In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to the
underside of the 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 F)
• Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil, chalk, or scriber.
• Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp securely.
• place blade at desired cutting point and 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, plunging the blade into the wood.
• The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure
blade is completely through material before continuing with
pocket cut.

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 bi-metal blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded to high
speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.
Problem
• Unit will not start.
