Accessories; Protecting The Environment - Black & Decker BES610 Mode D'emploi

Pendulum Stroke dial (fig. F)
The BES610 has four cutting modes with increasing
amounts of pendulum action:
Position 0: metal and aluminium and sheet metal (no
u
pendulum action).
Position 1: for laminates, hard wood, work tops.
u
Position 2: for plywood and PVC/Plastics.
u
Position 3: for soft wood and fast cutting.
u
To adjust the pendulum action:
Rotate the Pendulum Stroke dial (6) to the required
u
position.
Sawing
Hold the tool firmly with both hands while cutting.
The shoe plate (4) should be held firmly against the material
being cut. This will help prevent the saw from jumping, reduce
vibration and minimise blade breakage.
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
u
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
u
the cut.
Hints for optimum use
Straight assist blade (Only available with BES610K
model)
When you require a straight cut with extra precision, use the
straight assist blade (8a).
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:
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
u
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
u
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
u
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through
this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Warning! Do not use a vacuum when cutting metal. Metal
filings will be hot and may cause fire.
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
u
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
u
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
u
Plunge Cutting (fig. H)
A plunge cut is an easy method of making an inside cut.
(Original instructions)
The saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board without
first 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 firmly 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 firmly and lower the back edge of tool
slowly until the blade reaches its complete depth. Hold the
shoe flat against the wood and begin cutting. Do not remove
blade from cut while it is still moving. Blade must come to a
complete stop.
