Black & Decker RS600K ユーザーズマニュアル

•  Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor

while cutting.

•  When cutting, always ensure that the shoe is resting firmly against the workpiece. This

will improve operator control and minimize vibration.

•   For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded to

high speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.

•  Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to  

various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean 

cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust etc.

•  When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, drywall etc.,they are  

subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and 

grindings and drywall dust are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc. 

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.

IMPORTANT: 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 

service center. If you need assistance regarding accessories, please call: 1-800-544-6986.

This warranty does not apply to accessories. This warranty gives you specific legal rights 

and you may have other rights which vary from state to state or province to province. Should 

you have any questions, contact the manager of your nearest Black & Decker Service 

Center. This product is not intended for commercial use.

fREE WARNING LABEL REPLACEMENT: If your warning labels become illegible or are 

missing, call 1-800-544-6986 for a free replacement.

LATIN AMERICA: This warranty does not apply to products sold in Latin America. For 

products sold in Latin America, check country specific warranty information contained in the 

packaging, call the local company or see the website for warranty information.

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.

CAUTION: Always wear eye protection while operating this power tool.

NOTE: Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to  

prevent slipping.

•  Place blade lightly against work to be cut.

•  Switch on saw motor before applying pressure.

•  Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting as shown in figure 1. whenever 

possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will  

prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.

Depress the trigger switch to turn tool “ON”.  Releasing the trigger turns the tool “OFF”  

NOTe: This tool has no provision to lock the switch in the ON position, and should never 

be locked in the ON position by any other means.
VARIABLE SPEED SELECTOR WhEEL (fIGURE 3)          

The variable speed selector wheel offers a choice of speeds for greatly improved cutting 

rates in various materials. To select a slower speed for operating the saw, rotate the wheel to 

a low number on the dial.  To select a higher speed, rotate the wheel to a higher number.
TWO-SPEED (DUAL RANGE) SWITCh (fIGURE 3A) RS601 ONLy         

The 2-speed selector offers a choice of speeds for greatly improved cutting rates in various

materials. Note that the High-Speed setting is more efficient in softer materials such as

wood, while the Low-Speed is best for cutting metals.

LOW SPEED (Move slide switch to show 1). For cutting sheet metal, metal pipe, metal

conduit, etc.

HIGH SPEED (Move slide switch to show 2). For cutting wood, plastic, composition boards

and other similar materials.

   1. Lift the blade clamp release lever to its full open position as shown in Figure 4.

   2. Insert blade shank from the front locating hole in blade over pin on reciprocating shaft. 

 3. Close blade clamp release lever.

   4. Check to ensure blade is secure before cutting.

   1. Open blade clamp release lever to its full open position.

   2. Remove blade.

CAUTION:  TURN OFF AND UNPLUg SAw.

The shoe will adjust to limit the depth of cut.  Hold the saw with the underside facing up.  

Push the button (shown in Figure 5) on the hand grip and slide the shoe out to one of the

three settings and release the button.
fLUSh CUTTING (fIGURE 6)

•  The compact design of the recipro cating saw motor housing and pivoting shoe permit

close cutting to floors, corners and other difficult areas.

•  To maximize flush cutting capabilities, insert the blade shaft into the blade clamp with

the teeth of the blade facing up.

•  Turn the saw upside down so you are as close to the work surface as possible.
METAL CUTTING (fIGURE 7)

•  Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials.

•  In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides of sheet. This will

ensure a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of metal.

•  Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage.

NOTE: Spread a thin film of oil or other coolant along the line ahead of the saw cut for  

easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred.
POCKET CUTTING - WOOD ONLy (fIGURE 8)

•  Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber.

•  Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp securely.

•  Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe is resting on the work surface and

the moving blade will clear the surface.

•  Switch motor on, permitting blade to obtain maximum speed.

•  Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw.

•  The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure blade is completely through

material before continuing with pocket cut.

NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the shoe as a guide.
