Electrical Connection

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate
marking. A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will
cause a loss of power and overheating. All B&D tools are
factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the
power supply.

Familiarization

Place the saw on a smooth, flat surface such as a work-
bench or strong table. Examine Figures 1 & 2 and refer
to the parts description to become familiar with the saw
and its various parts. The following section on adjust-
ments will refer to these terms and you must know what
and where the parts are. The part name is followed by
the corresponding part number Example - lock down pin
(10). Press down lightly on the operating handle and pull
out the lock down pin (10), as shown in Figure 3. Gently
release the downward pressure and allow the arm to rise
to its full height. Use the lock down pin when carrying the
saw from one place to another. Use the operating
handle (1) to transport the saw or the hand indentations
(11) shown in Figure 2 after unplugging.
