rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Electrical safety
Your tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the main voltage
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
WARNING:
If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, authorized
BLACK+DECKER Service Center or an equally
qualified person in order to avoid damage or
injury. If the power cord is replaced by an equally
qualified person, but not authorized by
BLACK+DECKER, the warranty will not be valid.

WARNING: Blades coast after turn off.
Serious
personal injury may result.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals:
f
Work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
f
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing
and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the
skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Wear appropriate hearing protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise
from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
f
Snagging the lower guard on a surface below
the material being cut can momentarily
reduce operator control.
The saw can lift partially
out of the cut increasing the chance of blade twist.
Ensure there is sufficient clearance under the
workpiece.
f
When necessary to raise lower guard manually,
use the retracting lever.
f
Keep the Blades Clean and Sharp.
Sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback. The use of dull and/
or dirty blades can increase the saw loading causing
the operator to push harder which promotes twisting.
WARNING: Laceration Hazard. Keep hands away
from cutting areas.
Keep hands away from blades. Never
place hands in front of or behind the path of the blade
while cutting. Do not reach underneath work while blade is
rotating. Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade
is moving.
f
Support large panels.
Large panels must be
supported as shown
(Fig. A)
in this manual to minimize
the risk of blade pinching and kickback. Material
supported only at the ends
(Fig. B)
will lead to blade
pinching. When cutting operation requires the resting
of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be rested
on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.
f
Use only correct blades and blade assembly
components when mounting blades.
Do not use
blades with incorrect size holes. Never use defective
or incorrect blade washers or bolts. Follow blade
assembly procedures.
f
Adjustments.
Before cutting be sure depth and bevel
adjustments are tight.
f
Support and secure the work properly.
Insure
that the material to be cut is clamped
(Fig. C)
and
solidly supported and balanced on a strong, stable
and level work surface. Support the work so that
the wide portion of the saw shoe is on the portion of
the material that doesn’t fall after the cut is made.
Never hold cut off piece by hand
(Fig. D)
. KICKBACK
from blade pinch can result. Keep both hands on saw
at all times.
f
Stay alert and exercise control.
Keep body
positioned to one side of blade. Always maintain
a firm grip and control of saw with both hands. Do not
change hand grip or body position while saw is
running. Take precaution to avoid injury from cut off
pieces and other falling material during operation.
Danger! Release switch immediately if blade binds
or saw stalls.
