During any use on fiberglass or drywall it is extremely important that the tool be cleaned
frequently by blowing with an air jet.

Your saw was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. Once every year take or send
your saw to a Black & Decker service center, or authorized service station, for a complete
cleaning, inspection and lubrication. Tools “out of service” for long periods should be
relubricated before being put back to work.
 To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service
personnel, always using identical replacement parts

The RS600 and RS601 Reciprocating Saws will accept up to a 12 inch long blade. Always
use the shortest blade suitable for your project but long enough to keep the blade cutting
through the material. Longer blades are more likely to be bent or damaged during use.
During operation some longer blades may vibrate or shake if the saw is not kept in contact
with the workpiece.

A pruning attachment is also available for use with your RS600 and RS601 Reciprocating
Saw. This accessory attaches to the shoe of the saw and applies spring loaded pressure to
the branch while cutting.
Recommended accessories for use with your saw are available from your local dealer or authorized

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size
extension cords with the tool – that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your
tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A
rating of 120 volts AC/DC means that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC
power. This information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power
andcanresultinover-heating.AllBlack&Deckertoolsarefactory-tested;ifthistooldoes
