clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a  
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may  
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.  
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,  
with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.  
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other  
condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced  
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• KEEP BLADES SHARP. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure.  
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other con-  
struction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other repro-  
ductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:  
IF YOU SHOULD EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM  
WITH YOUR BLACK & DECKER PURCHASE,  
• lead from lead-based paints,  
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and  
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. (CCA)  
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To  
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with  
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out  
microscopic particles.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES - FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS  
WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.  
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-  
ous personal injury.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
Work Area  
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.  
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of  
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or  
fumes.  
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.  
Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
WARNING! Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed  
battery terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product  
kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Without cap  
in place, battery could short circuit causing fire or burns or damage to battery.  
Electrical Safety  
SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: CHARGING THE SAW  
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from  
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.  
Damaged cords may create a fire.  
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be  
recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable  
for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.  
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any  
other batteries may create a risk of fire.  
Personal Safety  
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power  
tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or  
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious  
personal injury,  
1. This manual contains important safety and operating instructions.  
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery  
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.  
3.  
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury, charge only Black & Decker Power Packs.  
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.  
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.  
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Black & Decker may result in a risk of  
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.  
6. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than cord when dis-  
connecting charger.  
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise sub-  
jected to damage or stress.  
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of improper  
extension cord could result in a risk of fire, electric shock or electrocution.  
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your  
hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair  
can be caught in moving parts.  
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before  
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery  
pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.  
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is  
left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and  
balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.  
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only round jacketed  
extension cords should be used, and we recommend that they be listed by Underwriters  
Laboratories (U.L.). If the extension is to be used outside, the cord must be suitable for  
outdoor use. Any cord marked for outdoor use can also be used for indoor work. The let-  
ters "W" or "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is suitable for outdoor use.  
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for  
safety, and to prevent loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number of  
the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than  
18 gauge. When using more than one extension to make up the total length, be sure each  
extension contains at least the minimum wire size.

NAMEPLATE RATING AMPS – 0 – 10.0  
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,  
hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

9. Use only the supplied charger when charging your saw. The use of any other charger  
could damage the battery or create a hazardous condition.  
10. Use only one charger when charging.  
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable  
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of  
control.  
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the  
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.  
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the  
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position  
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such  
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
11. Do not attempt to open the charger or the saw. There are no customer serviceable parts  
inside. Return to any authorized Black & Decker service center.  
12. DO NOT incinerate the saw or battery packs even if they are severely damaged or com-  
pletely worn out. The batteries can explode in a fire.  
13. A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage, charg-  
ing or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal  
is broken and this leakage gets on your skin:  
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.  
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.  
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are  
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of 10  
minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a 25-35%  
solution of potassium hydroxide.
