mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate. Never attempt to replace the charger
unit with a regular mains plug.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
u
manufacturer or an authorised BLACK+DECKER Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.

Assembly
Warning! Before assembly, remove the battery from
the tool and make sure that the saw blade has stopped.
Used saw blades may be hot.
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. The battery may become
warm while charging; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient tem-
peratures below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended
charging temperature: approx. 24 °C.
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above
40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the
charger will begin to charge automatically when the cell
temperature warms up or cools down.
To charge the battery (8) (Not supplied), insert the USB
u
charger (9) Not Supplied.
Connect the USB charger to a power source.
u
The charging indicator will blink. The charge is complete
when the charging indicator switches to continuously on.

(Original instructions)
The charger and the battery can be left connected indefi-
u
nitely.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life will
u
be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Fitting and removing the battery (fig. B)
To fit the battery (8) (Not supplied), line it up with the
u
receptacle on the tool. Slide the battery into the receptacle
and push up until the battery snaps into place.
To remove the battery, push the release button (10) while
u
at the same time pulling the battery out of the receptacle.
Fitting and removing the saw blade (fig. C)
Hold the saw blade (7) with the teeth facing forward.
u
Lift the saw blade locking lever (3) upwards.
u
Insert the shank of the blade fully into the blade clamp (4)
u
as far as it will go.
Release the lever.
u
To remove the saw blade (7), lift the saw blade locking
u
lever (3) upwards and pull the blade out.

u
pull and hold the variable on/offtrigger switch (1).
To switch off, release the trigger switch (1).
u
Warning! Do not switch the tool on or off while under load.
Warning! Always slide the lock off switch (2) to the right, the
locked position when the tool is not in use.
Storage of spare blades (fig. E)
Spare blades (7) can be stored in the recess (12) on the
u
main body of the tool.
Sawing
Always hold the tool with both hands.
u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
u
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
u
the cut.
If possible, work with the shoe plate (6) pressed against
u
the workpiece. This will improve tool control and reduce
tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from being
damaged.
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may
occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
u
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
u
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
u
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through
this sandwich.
