Intended use

Your Black & Decker jigsaw has been designed for sawing wood, plastics and sheet metal. This tool is intended for consumer use only.

General safety rules

Warning! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

ENGLISH

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Electrical safety

This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Additional safety instructions for jigsaws

- Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dusts arising from cutting applications may endanger the health of the operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask specifi cally designed for protection against dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area are also protected.

Fitting the saw blade (fi g. A)

• Hold the saw blade (7) as shown, with the teeth facing forward.
• Push the lever (5) downwards.
• Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder (12) as far as it will go.
• Release the lever.

Connecting a vacuum cleaner to the tool (fi g. B & C)

• Align the dust extraction adaptor (11) with the saw shoe as shown.
• Insert the ribs (14) into the slots (15).
• Rotate the adaptor until it locks into position. Make sure that the ribs (16) are correctly seated.
• Connect the vacuum cleaner hose (13) (not supplied) to the adaptor.

Dust extraction is not possible when making bevel cuts.

Use

Warning! Never use the tool when the saw shoe is loose or removed.

Adjusting the shoe plate for bevel cuts (fi g. D)

The shoe plate can be set to a left or right bevel angle of up to 45^ .

• Turn the locking knob (9) in direction A to release the shoe plate (8).
• Pull the shoe plate (8) backwards and set it to the required angle. You can use the scale or a protractor to check the angle.
• Turn the locking knob (9) in direction B to lock the shoe plate in place.

To reset the shoe plate for straight cuts:

• Turn the locking knob (9) in direction A to release the shoe plate (8).

• Pull the shoe plate backwards and set it to an angle of approx. 0^ .

• Push the shoe plate forward.

• Turn the locking knob (9) in direction B to lock the shoe plate in place. Make sure that the shoe plate is supported by the guide ribs.

Variable speed control

- Set the variable speed control knob (3) to the required speed range. Use a high speed for wood, medium speed for aluminium and PVC and low speed for metals other than aluminium.

Turbo selector

• For fast and efficient straight cuts in wood, set the turbo selector (4) to "max".
• For accurate straight and curve cutting and a smooth surface fi nish, set the turbo selector (4) to "min".

Switching on and off

• To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).
• For continuous operation, press the lock-on button (2) and release the on/off switch.
• To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch. To switch the tool off when in continuous operation, press the on/off switch once more and release it.

How to use the SightLine™ feature (fi g. E)

• Use a pencil to mark the cutting line.
• Position the jigsaw over the line (17).

Viewing from directly above the jigsaw the line of cut can be easily followed. Should this view be restricted for any reason, the indent (18) can be used as an alternate cutting guide.

Hints for optimum use

Sawing laminates

As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.

• Use a fi ne-tooth saw blade.
• Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
• To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece 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.

Accessories

The performance of your tool depends on the accessory used. Black & Decker and Piranha accessories are engineered to high quality standards and designed to enhance the performance of your tool. By using these accessories you will get the very best from your tool.

Maintenance

Your 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.
