as shown.
@
Warning! To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Correct hand position requires one hand on the hand grip (6) ,
with the other hand on the main handle (5) .
Sawing (Fig. B, C)
● Always hold the tool with both hands.
● Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
● Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
● If possible, work with the adjustable shoe (2) pressed
against the workpiece. This will improve tool control and
reduce tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from
being damaged.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing wood (Fig. C)
● Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and
metal objects.
● Holding the tool with both hands, work with the shoe (2)
pressed against the workpiece.
Flush cutting (Fig. D)
The compact design of the reciprocating 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.
Sawing metal (Fig. E)
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
● Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal. Use a fine-
tooth saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw
blade for non-ferrous metals.
● 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.
(original instructions)
Pocket cutting in wood (Fig. F)
● Measure and mark the required pocket cut.
● Fit a saw blade suitable for pocket cutting.
● Rest the shoe (2) on the workpiece in such a position that the blade forms an appropriate angle for the pocket cut.
● Switch on the tool and slowly feed the blade into the
workpiece. Make sure that the shoe (2) remains in contact
with the workpiece at all times.
Cutting branches
@
Branches up to 25 mm in diameter can be cut with this tool.
Warning! Do not use the tool while in a tree, on a
ladder or on any other unstable surface. Be aware of
where the branch will fall.
● Cut downward and away from your body.
● Make the cut close to the main branch or tree body.
● To use the branch holder, hook the sprung arm over the
branch and make sure the branch is positioned between
the arm and the shoe.
Vertical cutting
The tool allows close cutting to corners and other
difficult areas.
● Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder
with the teeth of the blade facing upward.
● Hold the tool with the shoe (2) facing downward so that
you are as close to the work surface as possible.
● Cut forward and away from your body.
Accessories
The performance of your tool depends on the accessory used.
BLACK+DECKER 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.
Blades
The saw will accept a blade up to 30 cm long. 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.
