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. 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. SERVICE INFORMATION Black & Decker offers a full network of company-owned and authori...
