RUTES
FOR
PWIERTOOLS
1. KNOWYOUR FOWER
TOOL
- Readowner's manual care-
fully. Learn
its applications
and limitations
as well as the
specific
potential
hazards
peculiar
to this tool.
2. GROUNDALL TOOLS
- UNLESS DOUBLE-INSULATED.
If
tool is equipped with three-prong plug, it should be
plugged
into a three-hole
electrical
receptacle.
lf adapter
is usedto accommodate
two-prongreceptacle, the adapter
wire must be attached to a known ground, Never remove
third prong.
3. KEEPGUARDS
lN PLACE
and
inworking
order.
4. KEEPWORK AREA CLEAN.Cluttered areas and benches
invite
accidents.
5. AVOID DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT.Don't expose power
tools
to rain.Don'tuse
power
tool in dampor wet locations.
Andkeepwork
area
well
lit.
5. KEEPCHILDRENAWAY.All visitors should be kept safe
distance
from workarea.
7. STOREIDLE TOOLS.When not in use, tools should be
stored in dry, high or locked-up place
- out of reach of
children.
8. DON'T FORCE
TOOL.lt will do the job better and safer at
the rate
forwhichitwasdesigned.
9. USERIGHTTOOL.Don't force small tool or attachment to
dothe job of a heavy dutytool.
10. WEARPROPER APPAREL.
No loose clothing or jewelry to
get caught in moving parts. Rubber
glovesand footwear
are
recommended
whenworking
outdoors.
11. USE SAFETYGLASSES with-most tools. Also face or dust
maskif cuttingoperation
is
dusty.
12. DON'T ABUSECORD.Never carry tool by cord or yank it
to disconnect from receptacle.Keep cord from heat, oil
and
sharpedges.
13. SEGURE
WORK.Use clamps or a vise to hold work. lt's
safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to
operate
tool.
14. DON'TOVERREACH.Keep proper footing and balance
at
alltimes.
15. MAINTAINTOOLS
WITHCARE.x"ili"oiFsharp, at atl
times, and clean for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions
for lubricatingand changingaccessories.
16. DISCONNECT
TOOLS.When not in use, before servicing;
when changing
accessoriessuch as blades,
bits, cutters,
etc.
17. REMOVE
ADJUSTINGKEYSAND WRENCHES.Form habit
of checkingto see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed
fromtool beforeturningit on.
18. -AVOID ACCIDENTALSTARTING. Don't carry plugged-in
tool with finger on switch.Besure switch is off when plug-
ging
in.
19. OUTDOORUSE EXTENSIONCORDS.When tool is used
outdoors, use only extension
cords suitablefor use out-
doorsandsomarked.
20. DO NOT OPERATE
portable electrictools in gaseousor
explosive
atmospheres.Motors in these tools normally
spark,andthesparks
might
ignite
fumes.

1. DISCONNECTPLUGfrom power supply before changing
blades,
making

adjustments,
inspecting,
cleaningor when saw is not being used.
2. KEEP GUARDSlN PLACEand in workingorder. When re-

3. NEVERTIE BACK the lower bladeguard or its retracting
lever.
4. KEEPHANDS AWAYfrom cutting area.Never
reach

5. KEEPBI-ADE
SHARP.Dull blades may cause the saw to
swerve
or stall under pressure.
6. lF YOU DROP

Your Black & Decker
tool is poweredby a B&D-built motor.
Be
sure
your power
supply
agreeswith voltagemarked
on name-
plate. Volts 5O/6O Hz means Alternating Gurrent only. Volts
DC-60Hz means it will also operate on Direct Current. Voltage
variationof morethan 1oo/owill causelossof power and over-
heating.
All B&D tools are factory-tested.
lf this tool does not
operate,checkthe powersupply line for blown fuses and the
plug
andreceptacle
for proper
contact. 7
GROUND'NG
Thistool shouldbe grounded
while in useto protect
the oper-
ator from electricshock. Thetool is equippedwith an approved
three-conductorcordand three-prong
grounding
type plug
to fit
the propergrounding
type receptacle.
The green(or green
and
yellow)
conductor
in the cord is the grounding
wire.Never
con.
nectthe green (or green
and yellow) wire to a liveterminal. lf
your unit is for use on lessthan 150 volts, it has a plug like
that shown in FigureA. lf it is for useon 150 to 250 volts, it
has a plug likethat shown in FigureD. An adapter,
FiguresB
and G is availablefor connecting Figure
A plugs
to two-prong
receptacles.
The green-colored
rigid ear, lug, etc., must be
connected
to a permanent
groundsuch as a properly
grounded
outlet box. No adapteris availablefor plug shown in Figure
D.
Adaptor
shownin FiguresB & C is Not for Usein Canada.

We recommend
that you NEVER
disassemblethe tool or try to
do any rewiringin the electricalsystem.Any repairsshould be
performed only by B&D Service Centers or other qualified
serviceorganizations.
Should you be determinedto make a
repair yourself, rememberthat the green coloredwire is the
"grounding" wire. Never connect this green wire to a "live"
terminal.lf you replacethe plugon the power
cord, be sure
to
connectthe green wire only to the grounding (longest) prong
ona3-prong
plug.
EXTENS'ON
CORD
When using the tool at a considerable
distance from power
sorlrce,
a 3-conductor,
grounding-type
extension
cord of ade-
quate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of
powerand over-heating.
To determine
the minimum size wire
requiredin anextension

Note:
The lower

and
the farther it will carrycurrent without a voltagedrop.
Use only three wire extensioncords which have three.prong
g.rounding-type
plugs and three-pole
receptacles
which accept
the tool's plug.Replace
or repair
damaged
cords.
