MOTOR

Your Black and Decker tool is powered by a B&D-built motor.

Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking.

120 ¥olts 50/60 Hz means

Alternating Current

(normal 120

volt, 60 cycle house current). Voltage variation of more than

10% will cause loss of power and over-heating. All B&D tools

are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the
supply line for blown fuses; plug and receptacle for contact.

DOUBLE-INSULATION

Your tool is DOUBLE-INSULATED to give you added safety.
This means that it is constructed throughout with TWO separate

“layers" of electrical insulation or one DOUBLE thickness of
insulation between you and the tool's electrical system.

Tools built with this improved insulation system are not in­

tended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with
a two-prong plug which permits you to use any conventional

120 volt electrical outlet without concern for maintaining a

ground connection.

NOTE: DOUBLE-INSULATION does not take the place of norma!

safety precautions when operating this tool. The improved

insulation system is for added protection against injury result­

ing from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
CAUTION: When servicing Double-Insulated Tools, it is extremely

important that ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS BE

USED.

EXTENSION CORD

When using the tool at a considerable distance from the power
source, an extension cord of adequate size must be used for
safety, and to prevent loss of power and over-heating. Use the

table below to determine m.inimum wire size required.

Before using cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires

and damaged insulation. Make any needed repairs or replace­

ment before using your power tool.

LUBRICATION

After every 15 hours of actual running time, place 2 drops of

machine oil in the oil hole located in the side of the tool near

the front. It is recommended that, at least once a year, you
take or send the tool to a B&D Service Center for a thorough

cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gear case.

ATTACHING BLADES

Disconnect tool from extension cord or wall receptacle. Loosen

screw at side of chuck with screwdriver. Insert blade in chuck

as far as it will go (about

Tighten screw until it is firm

against blade.

Your B&D Dealer carries a wide selection of Jig Saw Blades

for cutting many kinds of materials. These include wood, metal,
plastics, fiberglass, formica, asbestos, slate, etc.
