Sanding (fig. A)
Select forward rotation by moving the forward/reverse
slider (2) to the left.
To switch the tool on, press the variable speed switch (1).
The tool speed depends on how far you press the switch.
To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.
Hints for optimum use
Drilling
Always apply a light pressure in a straight line with the
drill bit.
Just before the drill tip breaks through the other side of
the workpiece, decrease pressure on the tool.
Use a block of wood to back up workpieces that may splinter.
Use spade bits when drilling large diameter holes in wood.
Use HSS drill bits when drilling in metal.
Use masonry bits when drilling in soft masonry.
Use a lubricant when drilling metals other than cast iron
and brass.
Make an indentation using a centre punch at the centre of
the hole to be drilled in order to improve accuracy.
Screwdriving
Always use the correct type and size of screwdriver bit.
If screws are difficult to tighten, try applying a small
amount of washing liquid or soap as a lubricant.
Always hold the tool and screwdriver bit in a straight line
with the screw.
Sawing
Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for the
workpiece material and type of cut.
If necessary, drill a hole near the starting point of the cut.
When sawing wooden workpieces, it is not necessary to drill a
pilot hole:
Mark the desired starting point.
Tilt the tool forward and place the rounded front edge of
the saw shoe on the workpiece.
Switch the tool on and slowly feed the saw blade into the
workpiece at the desired starting point.
When cutting sheet metal:
Clamp a piece of plywood or soft wood to the back of the
workpiece and saw through the combination in order to
obtain a clear cut.
Do not force the saw blade into the workpiece. Note that
cutting sheet metal will normally take more time than
sawing thicker wooden workpieces.
Spread a thin film of oil along the cutting line before sawing.
To cut, switch the tool on and move it down until the saw
blade is exactly over the point of entry.
8
Lower the rear of the shoe towards the workpiece,
maintaining a firm pivoting pressure on the saw shoe.
With the shoe flat on the workpiece, feed the blade into
the workpiece.
When cutting laminates:
Cut thin laminates with the back surface facing up,
as splintering is most likely to occur on the side of the
workpiece facing the saw shoe.
For clean cuts, clamp a piece of plywood or hardboard to
both sides of the laminate and cut through the resulting
sandwich.
Sanding
Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
Regularly check the condition of the sanding sheet.
Replace when necessary.
When sanding new layers of paint before applying
another layer, use extra fine grit.
On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start
with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a
fine grit for a smooth finish.
Consult your retailer for more information on available
accessories for sanding, polishing, stripping and scrubbing.
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.
Your charger does not require any maintenance apart from
regular cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance on the tool,
remove the battery from the tool. Unplug the charger before
cleaning it.
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.
Regularly open the chuck and tap it to remove any dust
from the interior.
Regularly apply a drop of light machine oil to the guide
roller (22) of the jigsaw head (fig. K).
