Aligning the saw with the cutting line (fig. I)

The saw is equipped with 2 guides for straight
cutting (23) and 2 guides for 45° mitre cutting (24).

Align the left edge of the guides (23) or (24)
with the cutting line (25).

For very accurate cuts:

Mark a cutting line on a scrap piece of wood.

Align the left edge of the guides (23) or (24)
with the cutting line (25).

Make a test cut.

Depending on the results, adjust the position
of the guides relative to the cutting line.

Dust extraction (fig. A)

An adaptor is required to connect a vacuum
cleaner or dust extractor to the tool. The adaptor
can be purchased from your local Black & Decker
retailer.

Insert the dust extraction adaptor into the saw
dust outlet (26).

Connect the vacuum cleaner hose to the
adaptor.

Hints for optimum use

As some splintering along the line of cut on
the top side of the workpiece cannot be
avoided, cut on the side where splintering is
acceptable.

Where splintering is to be minimised,
e.g. when cutting laminates, clamp a piece of
plywood onto the top of workpiece.

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.

Switch the tool off, allow the blade to stop
and remove the plug from the socket
before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.

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.
