READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE BATTERY CHARGER SECTION
OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THE battery pack
FOR YOUR TOOL.
Always use correct battery pack (pack supplied with tool or replacement
pack exactly like it.) Never install any other battery pack. It will ruin your tool
and may create a hazardous condition.
Changing Blades
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK.
2. To attach blade, retract lower blade guard and place blade over spindle
and against the inner clamp washer. Place outer clamp washer against the
blade, (blade must go on with the printed side out- teeth at bottom of
blade pointing forward - Figure 3).
3. Thread on blade clamping screw firmly by hand to hold washer in posi­
tion. (screw has left hand threads and must be turned counterclockwise
to tighten)
4. Lightly depress the blade lock (Figure 4) while turning the spindle until the
blade stops rotating.
5. Tighten blade clamping screw (counterclockwise) firmly with the blade
wrench.
6. To remove blade, TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BATTERY PACK. Engage
the blade lock and unscrew the blade clamping screw by turning it clock­
wise with the blade wrench.
NOTE: Never engage blade lock while saw is running, or engage in an effort
to stop the tool. Never turn switch on when blade lock is engaged. Serious
damage to your saw will result.
Blades
A dull blade will cause slow, inefficient cutting overload on the saw motor,
excessive splintering, and could increase the possibility of kickback. B&D
manufactures a carbide blade (Cat. No. 20851) for use on the 2832 and 2834
trim saws. CAUTION: Do not use abrasive discs or blades for cutting ferrous
(steel) materials.
WARNING: To minimize the risk of eye injury, always use eye protection.
Carbide is a hard but brittle material. Foreign objects in the work piece such
as wire or nails can cause tips to crack or break. Only operate saw machine
when proper saw blade guard is in place. Mount blade securely in proper
rotation before using, and always use a clean, sharp blade.
Cutting Depth Adjustment
1. TURN OFF TOOL AND REMOVE BAHERY PACK.
2. Hold the saw firmly and loosen (counterclockwise) the depth adjustment
knob and move shoe to obtain the desired depth of cut.
3. Make sure depth adjustment knob has been retightened (clockwise)
before operating saw.
For the most efficient cutting action, set the depth adjustment so that one
tooth of the blade will project below the material to be cut. This distance is
from the tip of the tooth to the bottom of the gullet in front of it. This keeps
