Cut line blower (fig. E)
To aid visibility when cutting, your jigsaw is equipped with
a cut line blower (14) which will keep the work area clear of
dust as you saw.
Use
Adjusting the shoe plate for bevel cuts (fig. F)
The shoe plate (4) can be set to make either a straight cut or
a left or right bevel cut at an angle of 45°.
Loosen the two screws (9).
Pull the shoe plate (4) forward, rotate the shoe plate (4) to
the left or right and push it back into the 45° location.
Tighten the two screws (9).
To reset the shoe plate for straight cuts:
Loosen the two screws (9).
Pull the shoe plate (4) forward, rotate to the centre and
push it back into the 0° location.
Tighten the two screws (9).
Setting the pendulum stroke (fig. G)
Set the pendulum stroke selector (6) to the required
position.
Position 0: metal and aluminium and sheet metal.
Position I: for laminates, hard wood, work tops.
Position II: for plywood and PVC/Plastics.
Position III : for soft wood and fast cutting.
Variable speed control
The tool has a variable speed On/Off switch (1). The
operating speed depends on how far you press the switch.
Use a high speed for wood, medium speed for aluminium and
PVC and low speed for metals other than aluminium.
Switching on and off
To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).
To switch the tool off, re lease the on/off switch (1).
For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2) and
release the on/off switch (1).
To switch the tool off when in continuous operation, press
and release the on/off switch (1).
Sawing
Hold the tool firmly with both hands while cutting.
The shoe should be held firmly against the material being
cut. This will help prevent the saw from jumping, reduce
vibration and minimise blade breakage.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.

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.
Clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of
the workpiece to minimise splintering, 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 care
and regular cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance or cleaning,
make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged and that
the saw blade has stopped.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool and
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. Never let
any liquid get inside the tool and never immerse any part of
the tool into liquid
