Protecting The Environment - Black & Decker KS900E Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH
Operating the laser (fig. I - L) (KS900EL unit only)
Installing the batteries (fig. I)
Detach the laser module (17) from the jigsaw by removing
the screw (16) and pulling the laser module forward. Insert
two new 1.5 Volt AAA alkaline batteries, making sure to
match the (+) and (-) terminals correctly. Re-attach the laser
module (17).
Adjusting the laser side-to-side (fig. J)
Note: The laser is intended as a cutting aid and does not
guarantee a precise cut.
Warning! Do not adjust the laser with the jigsaw plugged in.
Use the laser adjustment screw (18) to align the laser

line with the saw blade if needed.
The laser visibility (power) will be reduced if the jigsaw is
overheated. The laser may not be visible when the saw is
overloaded for a prolonged period of time. The laser visibility
will gradually return to normal when the tool cools down even
when the tool is unplugged.
Warning! Do not leave the overheated laser switched ON.
Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position and remove
the batteries to remove power from the laser.
Using the laser (fig. K - L)
The laser projects the line of cut (21) on to the surface of the
workpiece.
To switch the laser on, press the button (19).

To switch the laser off, press the button (19) again.

Viewing from directly above the jigsaw, the line of cut (21)
can be easily followed. Should this view be restricted for any
reason, the laser can be used as an alternative cutting guide.
Use a pencil to mark the cutting line (20).

Position the jigsaw over the line (20).

Switch on the laser.

Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface. The most common saw
blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate
is sitting on the presentation surface either use a saw blade
that cuts on the downward stroke or:
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.

Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.

To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or

hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.

Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.

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.

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.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a

soft brush or dry cloth.
Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.

Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool and never
immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
Safely dispose of the old plug.

Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the new

plug.
Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
