8. Tooth Protector

Your tool is powered by a Black & Decker specified motor. Be sure your power supply 

agrees with the nameplate marking. A marking of 120 volts, 50/60 Hz or 120 volts, AC

only means that the tool is designed to operate on normal 120 volt house current. Voltage 

decrease of more that 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All Black & Decker 

tools are factory tested. If this tool does not run, check the power supply.

 Always ensure the unit is unplugged from the power supply when changing 

blades.

Your saw has a new blade clamping mechanism. Before using the saw familiarize yourself 

with the removal of the blade and refitting the blade securely in the saw. Always ensure the 

tooth protector is fitted when changing blades.
ReMovInG tHe BlaDe (fIGuRe B)

Ensure blade has cooled after use. Press and hold the rear of the blade release button 

fully, hold the back of the blade and rotate it through 90 degrees until the toothed side of 

the blade meets the housing. Slide the blade sideways off the retaining pin and remove 

from the saw.

fIttInG a BlaDe (fIGuRes c,D)
Place the blade, with the tooth protector fitted, over the location pin. The blade teeth should 

be facing the handle. (Fig. C)

 To ensure that the blade fits properly, make sure the locking pin position mirrors that 

of the blade shank cut-out. The flat side of the locking pin should be parallel to the bottom

of the saw as shown in the insert of Fig. C. (Housing cover removed for clarity.)  If the 

locking pin is not parallel to the bottom of the saw, use a flat bladed screwdriver to rotate 

the pin back to the proper starting position.

Rotate the blade through 90° until it is fully located in the slot and the location pin is in the 

locked position. (Fig. D)

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.

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, push lock-off button (2) and squeeze the on/off variable speed  

trigger switch (1). To switch off, release the trigger, the unit will automatically lock-off.
usInG tool (fIGuRe f)

Hold tool with two hands as shown in Figure F. 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.
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.
