AUTOMATIC ELECTRIC BRAKE

Your saw is equipped with an electric blade brake which
stops the saw blade within 5 seconds of trigger release.
This is automatic and requires no adjustment.
Occasionally, under certain conditions, the brake will not
function properly and won't stop the saw in the 5 seconds
as discussed above. If this condition occurs, turn the saw
on and off four or five times. If the brake still does not stop
the blade in about 5 seconds, the problem may be worn
brushes. Replace the brushes as described below and try
the saw again. If the problem still persists, have the tool
serviced at a Black & Decker service center or company
authorized service facility.

Brushes

DISCONNECT PLUG FROM POWER SUPPLY
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool,
removing the brush inspection cap (Figure 3) and
withdrawing the brush assembly. Keep brushes clean and
sliding freely in their guides. Always replace a used brush
in the same orientation in the holder as it was prior to its
removal. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped
into their sides, and if the brush is worn down to the line
closest to the spring, they must be replaced. Use only
identical D WALT brushes. Use of the correct grade of
E
brush is essential for proper operation of electric brake.
New brush assemblies are available at Black & Decker
service centers. The tool should be allowed to "run in" (run
at no load) for 10 minutes before use to seat new brushes.
The electric brake may be erratic in operation until the
brushes are properly seated (worn in).
While "running in" DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE
LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY HAND
ONLY.

Operation

Plug the saw into any 120 volt 60 Hz power source. Be
sure the cord will not interfere with your work.
SWITCH
To turn the saw on, depress the trigger switch as shown in
Figure 15. To turn the tool off, release the switch. There is
no provision for locking the switch on, but a hole is
provided in the trigger for insertion of a padlock to lock the
saw off.
