Guard against kickback
• Kickback occurs when the saw begins to stall
rapidly and is driven back towards the operator.
Release the switch immediately if the blade sticks or
the saw stalls.
• Keep the saw blades sharp.
• Supports large panels near the cutting area.
• Use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping; do
not force the tool.
• Do not remove the saw from the work during a cut
while the saw blade is rotating.
For replacement or detachable fuse covers, contact
a Black & Decker authorised repair agent.
Warning!
Never connect live or neutral wires to the
earth pin marked E or
.
FUSE REPLACEMENT ON 1 HOUR CHARGER (UK ONLY)
• If you are using a 1 hour charger the plug is fitted
with a 3 or 5 amp fuse which should only be
replaced with an identical fuse approved to BS1362.
Note:
Fuses do not give personal protection against
electric shock.
• After changing the fuse in your plug always ensure
the fuse cover is refitted. If the fuse cover is missing
or damaged do not use the plug. For replacement or
detachable fuse covers contact a Black & Decker
authorised repair agent.
EXTENSION CABLES
Up to 30m (100ft) of Black & Decker 1.00mm
2
, 2-core
extension cable (or 3-core extension cordset, in
Australia and New Zealand) can be used without
undue loss of power.
Note:
An extension cable should
not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an
improper extension cable could result in a risk of fire
and electric shock. If an extension cable must be used,
make sure it is properly wired, contains the correct
rated fuse as recommended in its literature and is in
good electrical condition.
UNWANTED TOOLS AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Should you find one day that the tool needs
replacement or is of no further use, think of the
protection of the environment. Black & Decker
service agents will accept old tools and will
dispose of them in an environmentally safe way.
