can be read from the scale (11).

Sawing

workpiece.
Dust extraction (fig. F)
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 (13).
• 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 the workpiece.
