GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a
risk of electric shock or injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES: JIG SAWS
KEEP HANDS AWAY from cutting area. Never reach underneath the material for any reason.
KEEP BLADES SHARP. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure.
CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic.
When cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate dust containing chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
EXTENSION CORDS
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The following
table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord
MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your tool will operate
on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. A rating of 120 volts AC/DC means
that you tool will operate on standard 60 Hz AC or DC power. This information is printed on the nameplate.
Lower voltage will cause loss of power and can result in over-heating. All Black & Decker tools are factory-
tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
ASSEMBLY/ADJUSTMENT SET-UP
INSTALLING BLADES
(JS100, JS200)
MANUAL BLADE CHANGE MODELS ONLY USE THESE BLADE TYPES
BEFORE INSTALLING BLADES, TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL.
Loosen (do not remove) the two screws "A" in Figure 1. Ensure the blade teeth are facing forward and insert
the saw blade shank fully into the blade clamp. Slightly tighten screws alternately to position the blade, then
fully tighten screws. To release, turn both screws one turn counterclockwise.
(JS300) QUICK CLAMP
BLADE CHANGE MODELS ONLY USE THIS BLADE TYPE
BEFORE INSTALLING BLADES, TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL.
Your jig saw uses the Quick Clamp™ blade changing system. To install a blade, lift the Quick Clamp™ lever
(Figure 2). Ensure the blade teeth are facing forward and insert the saw blade shank fully into the blade
clamp. Release the lever and the blade will be clamped securely in place. To release the blade, lift the lever.
ALL MODELS
Note: To improve cutting performance, ensure back of blade is touching blade support roller. See "Roller
Support Guide"for instructions on how to change position of blade support roller.
ROLLER SUPPORT GUIDE
The roller support guide on your jig saw improves its performance when cutting tough materials by adding
support to the blade. This support should be adjusted so that the roller touches the back of the blade when
cutting. Ensure the blade is aligned with the groove in the roller. Adjust the support roller by loosening the
screw on the bottom of the shoe (Fig.1) and moving the shoe so that the roller touches the back edge of the
blade. Retighten screw. Lubricating the guide roller from time to time with a drop of oil will extend the life of
the roller.
