Cutting Metal
Your saw can be used for cutting light gauge ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as
copper, brass, aluminum, etc. with the specified blade. See recommended materials.
It is advisable when cutting thin sheet to clamp a backing sheet of soft wood or plywood to
the work as this will enable you to obtain a cleaner cut. Both metal and wood backing are
sawn together. Do not force the cutting blade into the metal as this will reduce the life of the
blade and possibly damage the motor. Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting even
a relatively thick piece of wood, so do not be tempted to speed up the operation by forcing
the saw. Only use the metal cutting blade for this purpose.
Recommended Materials Capacity
Large Capacity Blade
Soft wood Up to 4" x 4"
Plastic soil pipe Up to 4-7/8"
Curve Cutting Blade
Worktop Up to 2"
Metal Cutting Blade
Ferrous/non-ferrous metals Up to 1/8" thick
Maintenance
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized
service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement

The RBRC™ Seal
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation)
Seal on the nickel-cadmium battery (or battery pack) indicates that the costs to
recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its useful life have already
been paid by Black & Decker. In some areas, it is illegal to place spent nickel-
cadmium batteries in the trash or municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program
provides an environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC in cooperation with Black & Decker and other battery users, has established
programs in the United States and Canada to facilitate the collection of spent nickel-
cadmium batteries. Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources by
returning the spent nickel-cadmium battery to an authorized Black & Decker service center
or to your local retailer for
recycling. You may also contact your local recycling center for information on where to drop
off the spent battery, or call 1-800-8-BATTERY.

Safety Warnings and Instructions: Charging the Battery
Pack
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1)
battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker Battery Packs.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black & Decker may result in a risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when
disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise
subjected to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper
extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round
jacketed extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension is to be used outside, the cord must
be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor use can also be used for
indoor work. The letters "W" or "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is
suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of
the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be
sure each extension contains at least the minimum wire size.
CHART FOR MINIMUM WIRE SIZE (AWG)OF EXTENSION CORDS
NAMEPLATE RATING AMPS – 0 – 10.0
Total Extension Cord Length (ft) 25 50 75 100 125 150
Wire Gauge 18 18 16 16 14 14
9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your battery pack. The use of any other
charger could damage the battery pack or create a hazardous condition.
10.Use only one charger when charging.
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the battery. There are no customer serviceable
parts inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.
12.DO NOT incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged or completely worn out.
The batteries can explode in a fire.
13.A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage,
charging or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the
outer seal is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10
minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a
25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
Charging the Battery Pack
THE BATTERY PACK IS NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet. NOTE: Do not
charge by means of an engine generator or DC power source. Use only 120V AC
2. Slide the charger onto the battery pack as shown in Figure 1 and let the battery
charge initially for 9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your battery
pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours.
3. Unplug charger, and remove the battery pack. Place the battery in the tool and be
certain that it is inserted fully into the tool cavity until it “clicks” into place.
NOTE: To remove the battery from the saw, press down on the release button on the back
of the battery (Figure 2) and slide out.
Important Charging Notes
1. After normal usage, your battery pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the
battery pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 6 hours to become fully
charged. Your battery pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition.
Before attempting to use it, it must be charged for at least 9 hours.
2. DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or above
105°F.(40,5 °C) This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if battery pack is charged when air
temperature is about 75°F.(24°C).
3. While charging, the charger may hum and become warm to touch. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly—(1) Check current at receptacle by
plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a
light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and
battery pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (4,5 °C) to 105°F.(40,5 °C) (4) If
the receptacle and temperature are OK, and you do not get proper charging, take or
send the battery pack and charger to your local Black & Decker service center. See
Tools Electric in yellow pages.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs
which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using product with its battery
pack in a depleted condition.
6. To prolong battery pack life, avoid leaving the battery pack on charge for extended
periods of time (over 30 days without use). Although overcharging is not a safety
concern, it can significantly reduce overall battery pack life.
7. The battery pack will reach optimum performance after being cycled 5 times during
normal usage. There is no need to run the batteries down completely before recharging.
Normal usage is the best method of discharging and recharging the batteries.
Maintenance Stage
The trickle charge feature of the charger allows the battery pack to remain in the charger
and ready for use. With the charger connected to standard household current, the red
charging indicator light will glow constantly. The charger will keep the battery pack fully
charged. A battery pack will slowly lose its charge when kept out of the charger.
Removing & Refitting the Blade
WARNING: Always ensure that the battery is removed from the tool when changing
blades.
Removing the Blade (Figure 3)
Ensure blade has cooled after use. Press and hold the rear of the black blade release
button fully, hold the back of the blade and rotate it 90 degrees in a downward direction.
Slide the blade sideways off the location pin and remove from the saw.
Fitting a Blade (Figure 4,5)
Place the blade, with the tooth protector fitted, over the location pin. The blade teeth should
be facing the handle. Rotate the blade through 90° until it is fully located in the slot and the
location pin is in the locked position.To ensure the blade is securely fitted try to remove
without pressing the blade release button. Remove the tooth protector, your saw is now
ready for use.
NOTE: If you are unable to fit the blade, check to see if the slot in the location pin is straight
up and down. If it is not, keep the blade release button depressed and use a flat bladed
screwdriver to turn the location pin into the correct position as shown in Figure 5.
Operating Instructions
WARNING: When cutting, hold saw firmly with two hands as shown in Figure 7.
Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Figure 6)
Your saw is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch that allows you greater control
over start of cut, rate of cut and breakthrough of cut.
To switch your saw on, slide lock-off button (1) and squeeze the on/off variable speed
trigger switch (2). To switch off, release the trigger, the unit will automatically lock-off.
Cutting With Tool (Figure 7)
Hold tool with two hands as shown in Figure 7. To obtain the best results from your saw,
use the same backward and forward movement you would employ with a traditional hand
saw. This will enable a quicker cleaner cut.

RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ CONCERNANT LES OUTILS
À PILES - GÉNÉRALITÉS
AVERTISSEMENT : LIRE, COMPRENDRE ET SUIVRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES
précisées ci-dessous afin d’éviter les risques de choc électrique, d’incendie ou de
blessure grave.
CONSERVER CES DIRECTIVES
Aire de travail
• Garder l’aire de travail propre et bien éclairée; les établis encombrés et les endroits
sombres sont propices aux accidents.
• Ne pas utiliser les outils électriques dans une atmosphère explosive, comme à
proxim0ité de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables; le moteur peut créer
des étincelles et enflammer les vapeurs ou les poussières environnantes.
• Tenir les enfants, les visiteurs ou toute autre personne à l’écart lorsqu’on utilise un
outil électrique; les distractions peuvent faire perdre la maîtrise de ce dernier.
Mesures de sécurité – Électricité
• Ne pas utiliser le cordon de manière abusive; on ne doit pas transporter l’outil en le
tenant par le cordon. On doit tenir le cordon à l’écart des sources de chaleur, de
l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles. Remplacer immédiatement les
cordons endommagés, car ces derniers peuvent causer un incendie.
• Un outil à piles intégrées ou à bloc-pile externe doit être rechargé seulement au
moyen du chargeur approprié, car un chargeur destiné à une pile particulière peut
entraîner un risque d’incendie lorsqu’il est utilisé avec une autre.
• N’utiliser l’outil à piles qu’avec le bloc-pile désigné, car l’utilisation d’un autre type de
piles peut entraîner un risque d’incendie.
