Maintenance; Protecting The Environment; Sawing Metal - Black & Decker CHS600 Instruction Manual

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.
When cutting metal piping, do not cut directly through the

pipe as you would saw a wooden dowel. Instead, cut
around the circumference of the pipe to avoid pinching the
blade. Only one section of the blade should be in contact
with the pipe.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.

Maintenance

Your Black & Decker corded/cordless appliance/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.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance on corded/
cordless power tools:
Switch off and unplug the appliance/tool.

Or switch off and remove the battery from the appliance/

tool if the appliance/tool has a separate battery pack.
Or run the battery down completely if it is integral and

then switch off.
Unplug the charger before cleaning it. Your charger

does not require any maintenance apart from regular
cleaning.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your appliance/tool/
charger 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.
Regularly open the chuck and tap it to remove any dust from
the interior (when fitted).
