(Original instructions)
This will help prevent the saw from jumping, reduce vibration
and minimise blade breakage.
u Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
the cut.
u Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
the cut.
Hints for optimum use
Sawing laminates
When cutting laminates, splintering may occur which can
damage the presentation surface. The most common saw
blades cut on the upward stroke, therefore if the shoe plate is
sitting on the presentation surface either use a saw blade that
cuts on the downward stroke or:
u Use a ne-tooth saw blade.
u Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
u To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through
this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Warning! Do not use a vacuum when cutting metal. Metal
lings will be hot and may cause re.
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
u Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
u When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
u Spread a lm of oil along the intended line of cut.
Rip Fence (KFBES500)
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done
with a rip fence and circle guide (available as an optional extra
- part number X43005-XJ).
Attaching Rip Fence (gs. F & G)
u Insert rip fence (14) into the shoe plate slots with the cross
bar facing down as shown in gure F.
u Place screw (15) into hole in bottom of shoe plate.
u Align clamp bar (16) over screw with lipped edge facing
down and pointing towards the rear of the saw.
u Using a phillips screwdriver, run the screw into the
threaded hole in the bar clamp as shown in gure G.
u Adjust to width of cut and tighten screw.
Circle Cutting (g. H - KFBES500)
u Insert rip fence into slot on the right side of shoe plate with
cross bar facing up.
u Adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole in
cross bar is the desired radius and tighten screw.
u Place saw so that centre of hole in cross bar is over
centre of circle to be cut (make plunge cut, drill hole for
blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade into
position).
u When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail
through hole in cross bar into exact centre of circle to be
cut.
u Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting circle.
Plunge Cutting (g. I)
A plunge cut is an easy method of making an inside cut. The
saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board without
rst drilling a lead or pilot hole. In plunge cutting, measure
the surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip
the saw forward until the front end of the shoe sits rmly on
the work surface and the blade clears the work through its
full stroke. Switch the tool on and allow it to attain maximum
speed. Grip the saw rmly and lower the back edge of tool
slowly until the blade reaches its complete depth. Hold the
shoe at against the wood and begin cutting. Do not remove
blade from cut while it is still moving. Blade must come to a
complete stop.
Maintenance
Your BLACK+DECKER tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.
u Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a
soft brush or dry cloth.
u Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth. Do
not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner. Never let
any liquid get inside the tool and never immerse any part
of the tool into liquid.
Mains plug replacement (U.K. & Ireland only)
If a new mains plug needs to be tted:
u Safely dispose of the old plug.
u Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the new
plug.
u Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
Warning! No connection is to be made to the earth terminal.
Follow the tting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 5 A.
