Additional safety instructions for batteries and chargers Batteries ◆ Never attempt to open for any reason. ◆ Do not expose the battery to water. ◆ Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C. ◆ Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C. ◆ Charge only using the charger provided with the tool. 3 ◆ ◆ When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the environment”. Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the battery, proceed as follows: - Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact. - In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below. Warning! The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium hydroxide, can be harmful. In case of skin contact, immediately rinse with water. Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar. In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes. Consult a physician. Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery (e.g. when storing the battery in a toolbox). Do not incinerate the battery.

Other batteries could burst, causing personal injury and damage. ◆ Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries. ◆ Have defective cords replaced immediately. ◆ Do not expose to water. ◆ Do not open the charger. ◆ Do not probe the charger. The charger is intended for indoor use only. ELECTRICAL SAFETY Your charger has been designed for a specific mains voltage. Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Your charger is double insulated in accordance with EN 60335; therefore no earth wire is required. Warning! Never attempt to replace the charger unit with a regular mains plug. 4 Additional safety instructions for Australia and New Zealand ◆ This tool is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the tool. ◆ If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised Black & Decker Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard. Additional safety instructions for hand-held saws ◆ Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for the workpiece material and type of cut. ◆ Only use saw blades in good condition. ◆ Always switch the tool off and wait for the saw blade to come to a complete standstill before putting the tool down. ◆ Keep your hands well clear of the saw blade while working. ◆ Do not touch the saw blade immediately after the operation as it might be hot. ◆ Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces. ◆ Before sawing in walls or floors, be aware of the location of hidden pipes and wiring. ◆ Never switch on the tool when the saw blade is jammed in the workpiece or when it is in contact with the material. ◆ Do not exert side pressure on the saw blade. ◆ Always hold the tool with both hands. ◆ Do not use the tool while in a tree, on a ladder or on any other unstable surface. ◆ When cutting branches be aware of where the branch will fall. ◆ Take special care when sawing woods and metal which may produce toxic dust: - Wear a dust mask specifically designed for protection against toxic dust and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area are also protected. - Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work area. - Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area. - Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely. Overview (fig. A) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. On/off switch Lock-off button Blade holder Shoe Blade clamp lever Battery Battery release button Charger Charger receptacle Assembly Fitting and removing the battery (fig. A) ◆ To fit the battery (6), line it up with the receptacle on the tool. Slide the battery into the receptacle and push until the battery snaps into place. ◆ To remove the battery, push the release button (7) while at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle. Fitting the saw blade (fig. B) ◆ Hold the saw blade securely. If the saw blade is fitted with a tooth protector, leave it attached while fitting the blade. ◆ Pull the blade clamp lever (5) up to release the blade clamping mechanism. ◆ Insert the shank of the saw blade into the blade holder (3) as far as it will go. ◆ Move the blade clamp lever (5) down to lock the blade clamping mechanism. ◆ Remove the tooth protector, if fitted. Note: This tool has been designed to allow the saw blades to be fitted with the teeth facing forward or backward. Use Charging the battery (fig. A) The battery needs to be charged before first use and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were easily done before. When charging the battery for the first time, or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80% charge. After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem. Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures below 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging temperature: approx. 24 °C. To charge the battery (6), remove it from the tool. Slide the charger receptacle (9) onto the battery as shown. ◆ Plug in the charger (8). Switch on at the mains. The battery will become warm while charging. After approx. 3 hours of charging, the battery will be sufficiently charged for use in regular applications. After approx. 6 hours of charging, the battery will be fully charged. ◆ Remove the charger receptacle from the battery. Sawing (fig. 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 shoe 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 ◆ Clamp the workpiece securely and remove all nails and metal objects. ◆ Holding the tool with both hands, work with the shoe pressed against the workpiece. Pocket cutting in wood ◆ Measure and mark the required pocket cut. ◆ Fit a saw blade suitable for pocket cutting. ◆ Rest the shoe 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 remains in contact with the workpiece at all times. Sawing metal ◆ 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 nonferrous 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. ◆ ◆ Switching on and off ◆ To switch the tool on, move the lock-off button (2) into the unlock position and squeeze the on/off switch (1). ◆ To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch. 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. 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. 5 ◆ ◆ Hold the tool with the shoe 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 and Piranha 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. MAINTENANCE Your Black & Decker tool has been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning. Your charger does not require any maintenance apart from regular cleaning. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ Before performing any maintenance on the tool, remove the battery from the tool. Unplug the charger before cleaning it. Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a soft brush or dry cloth. Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.
