Black & Decker 7662 Manual De Instrucciónes

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 

not operate, check the power supply.

Before attempting any of the following operations, make sure that the tool is 

switched off and unplugged and that the saw blade has stopped. Used saw blades can be 

hot.

Using a flat blade screwdriver, loosen (do not remove) the two screws “A” in Figure B. 

Ensure the blade teeth are facing forward and insert the saw blade shank fully into the blade 

clamp. Slightly tighten screws alternately to position the blade, then fully tighten screws. To 

release, turn both screws one turn counterclockwise.

 To improve cutting performance, ensure back of blade is touching blade support 

roller. See “Roller Support Guide”for instructions on how to change position of blade support 

roller.

TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL.

The blade support roller on your jigsaw improves its performance when cutting tough 

materials by adding support to the blade. This support should be adjusted so that the roller 

touches the back of the blade when cutting. Ensure the blade is aligned with the groove in 

the roller. Adjust the support roller by loosening the screw on the bottom of the shoe (Fig.B) 

and moving the shoe so that the roller touches the back edge of the  blade. Retighten screw. 

Lubricating the guide roller from time to time with a drop of oil will extend the life of the roller.

To turn the saw on, squeeze the trigger switch, as shown in Figure C. To turn the tool 

off, release the trigger switch. The tool can be locked on for continuous operation by fully 

squeezing and holding the trigger switch while you depress the lock-on button shown in  

Fig. C. With the lock-on button depressed, release the trigger switch and the tool will 

continue to run. To release from lock position, squeeze and release the trigger. Always 

disengage the lock before disconnecting from the power supply.

TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL.

To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the screw (approximately 3 full turns) on the bottom of 

the shoe, as shown in Figure B. Lift the shoe  slightly and pull backward, then set the shoe 

at 45° (accuracy +/-5°) and retighten screw. To reset the shoe for a square cut, loosen the 

screw and move the shoe until it is approximately 90° to the blade. Adjust the blade support 

roller to the blade and retighten the screw. 

Be sure board is firmly secured. Hold jigsaw by the handle and operate switch to turn the 

unit on. Don’t attempt to turn on the unit when blade is against material to be cut. This 

could stall the motor. Place front of shoe on material to be cut and hold jigsaw shoe down 

firmly against the work surface while cutting. Don’t force the tool; let the blade cut at its own 

speed.

 

Whenever possible, clamp or support work close to the line of cut; when the cut is 

completed, shut off power and lay the saw aside before loosening the work.

To aid visibility when cutting, your jigsaw is equipped with an automatic dust blower (Fig. C) 

which will keep the work area clear of dust as you saw. 

A convenient blade storage compartment (Fig. D) is provided at the rear of the saw. 

In cutting thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood or plywood to the bottom of the 

metal sheet; this will insure a clean cut without the danger of vibration or tearing of metal. 

Use a fine-tooth blade for ferrous metals (for those that have an iron content); and use a 

coarser blade for nonferrous metals (those that do not have an iron content).

Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting relatively thick wood so do not be tempted 

to speed up the process by forcing the saw. Spread a thin film of cutting lubricant along the 

cutting line (any light weight oil). 

When cutting laminated plastic, place the finished side down and use a fine tooth hollow 

ground blade.

•  Measure the surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the saw forward

until the front edge of the shoe sits firmly on the work surface, but with the blade well 

clear of it Figure E. 

•  Turn the tool on and allow it to attain maximum speed by fully depressing the trigger switch.

•  Grip the handle firmly and slowly lower the back edge of tool until the blade cuts

smoothly into material. Do not move the jigsaw forward along the cut line until the saw 

blade has completely entered the material and shoe comes to rest flat on its surface. 

Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done with the rip fence and circle 

guide (available at extra cost).

Using the screw supplied with the accessory guide, position as shown in Figure F and thread 

the screw into the shoe to clamp the fence securely.

When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole in cross bar is at 

the desired radius and tighten screw (use hole which lines up best with saw blade). Place 

saw so that hole in cross bar is over center of circle to be cut (make pocket cut, drill hole for 

blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade into position). When saw is properly 

positioned, drive a small nail through hole in cross bar. Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin 

cutting circle. For circle cutting, the cross bar should be up, as shown in Figure F.

When ripping, slide the rip fence under the screw from either side of the saw. Set the cross 

bar at desired distance from blade and tighten screw. For ripping, the cross bar should be 

down and against the straight edge of the workpiece. 

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.
