Your Black & Decker tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory
operation depends upon proper tool care and regular cleaning.

-
To clean the tool, use only mild soap and a damp cloth. Never let any
liquid get inside the tool and never immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
- Regularly oil the oiling points (16) as indicated in figure I.
- Always transport the tool with the jaws closed and the latch in the
locked position.
WARNING:
Failure to do this
could result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
The chain is sharp and can cut you when it is not running.
To get the best possible performance from your chain saw it is
important to keep the teeth of the chain sharp. Follow these helpful
tips for proper saw chain sharpening:
1. Remove the saw chain and use a chain vise when doing any
sharpening. See “Removing the saw chain and chain bar”.
2. For best results use a 4.5mm file and a file holder or filing guide
to sharpen your chain. This will ensure you always get the correct
sharpening angles.
3. Place the file holder flat on the top plate and depth gauge of the cutter.
4. Keep the
correct top plate filing
angle line of 30° on your
file guide parallel with your
chain (file at 60° from chain
viewed from above).
5. Sharpen cutters
on one side of the chain
first. File from the inside of
each cutter to the outside.
Then turn your saw chain
around and repeat the processes (2,3,4) for cutters on the
other side of the chain. Use a flat file to file the tops of the
rakers (portion of chain
link in front of the cutter)
so that they are about .025
in. below the tips of the
cutters.
6. Keep all cutter
lengths equal.
7. If damage is present on the chrome surface of the top plates
or side plates, file back until such damage is removed.
CAUTION:
After filing, the cutter will be sharp, use extra
caution
during this process.
NOTE:
Each time the chain is sharpened, it loses some of the
low kickback qualities and extra caution should be used. It is
recommended that a chain be sharpened no more than four times.
Storage
- When the tool will not be used for several months, wipe any
metal components with oil.
- Store the tool in a secure and dry location. The storage
temperature must always remain in the range of 41°F (+5 °C) to
