ENGLISH
• Never attempt to connect two chargers together.
• Always disconnect the supply before making or
breaking connections to the battery.
• Be aware that this tool is always in an operating
condition, because it does not have to be plugged
into an electrical outlet. Keep the switch control
lever in the "Off" position when the tool is not in use
or when changing accessories.
• When drilling or driving screws into walls, floors
etc., check wherever "live" electrical wires may be
encountered. Do not touch any front metal parts of
the tool! Hold the tool only by the plastic housing.
• Do not store the tool in locations where the
temperature may reach or exceed 50˚C (120˚F) (such
as outside sheds or metal buildings in summer).
• Do not incinerate the saw even if it is severely
damaged or completely worn out. The battery pack
can explode in a fire.
• A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may
occur under extreme usage, charging or
temperature conditions. This does not indicate a
failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this
leakage gets on your skin:
• Wash quickly with soap and water.
• Neutralise with a mild acid such as lemon juice
or vinegar.
• If battery liquid gets into your eyes, flush them
with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention.
(Medical note: The liquid is a 25-35% solution of
potassium hydroxide.)
• Do not attempt to open the housing of your drill or
charger.
• The supply cord of the charger should not be
replaced by the customer; if the cord is damaged it
should be replaced at an authorised Black & Decker
service repair agent.
• Ensure that the battery pack is correct for the tool.
• Ensure that the outside surface of the battery pack
or tool is clean and dry before plugging into the
charger.
• Ensure that the battery is charged using the correct
charger provided with the tool or recommended by
the manufacturer. Incorrect use may result in a risk
of electric shock, overheating or leakage of
corrosive liquid from the battery.
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable
batteries.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CIRCULAR SAWS
When sawing
• Remove all nails and metal objects from the
workpiece before starting work.
• Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.
• After switching OFF, never attempt to stop the saw
blade by pressing against the side of the blade.
• Never put the saw down on a table or work bench
unless switched OFF.
Operational protection devices
• The circular saw must only be used for cutting wood
or plastic.
• Ensure that all devices screening the saw blade are
in perfect working order.
• Never jam the saw blade guards.
• Free a jammed saw blade guard immediately and do
not use the saw if the guard is jammed.
• Do not remove the riving knife.
• The riving knife should be correctly set; the distance
between the toothed rim and the riving knife should
be max. 5 mm and the height difference between the
riving knife and the toothed rim should be max.
5 mm (fig. E).
Checking and changing the saw blade
• Only saw blades conforming to the specifications
contained in these operating instructions may be
used.
• Saw blades made of high alloy, high speed steel
(HSS steel) should not be used.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working condition
should be used; cracked or bent saw blades should
be discarded and replaced at once.
• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed and
rotates in the correct direction.
Special applications
• When cutting narrow workpieces (width less than
80 mm) longitudinally, use a rip fence guide (rip
fence spare part not included) along the longitudinal
edge.
• When sawing with the workpiece clamped tight,
devices should be used to prevent the workpiece
kicking back.
• When sawing circular sections of wood use a
device to hold the workpiece steady on both sides of
the saw blade to prevent slipping.
• Ensure that pieces of wood sawn off the workpiece
cannot be caught up by the teeth of the saw blade
and thrown in the air.
