Extension Cord
• When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your
tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating
of 120 volts AC/DC means that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This
information is printed on the nameplate. Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result
in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate,
check the power supply.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always wear eye protection while operating this power tool.
NOTE: Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to
prevent slipping.
• Place blade lightly against work to be cut.
• Switch on saw motor before applying pressure.
• Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting as shown in Figure 1. Whenever
possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent
the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.
VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH (FIGURE 2)
The variable speed trigger switch will give you added versatility. The further the trigger is
depressed the higher the speed of the saw. To turn the tool "OFF" release the trigger. NOTE:
This tool has no provision to lock the switch in the ON position, and should never be locked in
the ON position by any other means.
BLADE CLAMP RELEASE LEVER (FIGURE 3)
CAUTION:
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY WHEN CHANGING
BLADES.
To install blade into saw:
1. Lift the blade clamp release lever to its full open position as shown in Figure 3.
2. Insert blade shank from the front locating hole in blade over pin on reciprocating shaft.
3. Close blade clamp release lever.
4. Check to ensure blade is secure before cutting.
To remove blade from saw:
1. Open blade clamp release lever to its full open position.
2. Remove blade.
FLUSH CUTTING (FIGURE 4)
• The compact design of the reciprocating saw motor housing and pivoting shoe permit close
cutting to floors, corners and other difficult areas.
• To maximize flush cutting capabilities, insert the blade shaft into the blade clamp with the
teeth of the blade facing up.
• Turn the saw upside down so you are as close to the work surface as possible.
METAL CUTTING (FIGURE 5)
• Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials.
• In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to both sides of sheet. This will ensure
a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of metal.
• Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage.
NOTE: Spread a thin film of oil or other coolant along the line ahead of the saw cut for
easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred.
POCKET CUTTING - WOOD ONLY (FIGURE 6)
• Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber.
• Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp securely.
• Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe is resting on the work surface and
the moving blade will clear the surface.
• Switch motor on, permitting blade to obtain maximum speed.
• Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw.
• The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure blade is completely through
material before continuing with pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the shoe as a guide.
PROJECT TIPS
• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor while cutting.
• When cutting, always ensure that the shoe is resting firmly against the workpiece. This will
improve operator control and minimize vibration.
• For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded to high
speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.

MAINTENANCE
UNPLUG SAW AND REMOVE ACCESSORY WHEN PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR
OTHER MAINTENANCE. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT
PARTS.
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to
remove dirt, carbon dust etc.
• When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, drywall etc.,they are subject
to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings
and drywall dust are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc. During any
use on fiberglass or drywall it is extremely important that the tool be cleaned frequently by
blowing with an air jet.
LUBRICATION
Your saw was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. Once every year take or send
your saw to a Black & Decker service center, or authorized service station, for a complete
cleaning, inspection and lubrication. Tools "out of service" for long periods should be
relubricated before being put back to work.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and
adjustment should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service
personnel, always using identical replacement parts
ACCESSORIES
BLADES
The RS500 Reciprocating Saw will accept up to a 12 inch long blade. Always use the
shortest blade suitable for your project but long enough to keep the blade cutting through the
material. Longer blades are more likely to be bent or damaged during use. During operation
some longer blades may vibrate or shake if the saw is not kept in contact with the workpiece.
PRUNING ATTACHMENT
A pruning attachment is also available for use with your RS500 Reciprocating Saw. This
accessory attaches to the shoe of the saw and applies spring loaded pressure to the branch
while cutting.
Recommended accessories for use with your saw are available from your local dealer or
authorized service center. If you need assistance regarding accessories, please call:
1-800-544-6986.
WARNING:
The use of any accessory not recommended for use with this tool could
be hazardous.

Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour les outils électriques
AVERTISSEMENT! Lire tous les avertissements de sécurité et toutes les
directives. Le non-respect des avertissements et des directives pourrait se solder
par un choc électrique, un incendie et/ou une blessure grave.
Conserver tous les avertissements et toutes les directives pour un usage ultérieur.
Le terme «outil électrique» cité dans les avertissements se rapporte à votre outil
électrique à alimentation sur secteur (avec fil) ou par piles (sans fil).
1) Sécurité du lieu de travail
a) Tenir la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les endroits sombres sont souvent
des causes d'accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d'outils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, soit en
présence de liquides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussière. Les outils
électriques produisent des étincelles qui peuvent enflammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.
c) Éloigner les enfants et les curieux au moment d'utiliser un outil électrique. Une
distraction pourrait vous en faire perdre la maîtrise.
2) Sécurité en matière d'électricité
a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais
modifier la fiche en aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de fiche d'adaptation avec un
outil électrique mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par l'utilisation de
fiches non modifiées correspondant à la prise.
b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des
tuyaux, des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc
électrique est plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.
c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à d'autres conditions où il
pourrait être mouillé. La pénétration de l'eau dans un outil électrique augmente le
risque de choc électrique.
