SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Reduced Kickback Chain - The RC600 chain is designed with a
contoured depth gauge and guard link which deflect kickback force
and allow wood to gradually ride into the cutter.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. (CCA)
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING:
Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse
dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or
other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory pro-
tection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away
from face and body.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection.
CAUTION: Wear appropriate personal hearing protection during
use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this
product may contribute to hearing loss.

Preparing Your Alligator Lopper
TM
For Use
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury
WARNING: Sharp moving blade. To prevent accidental
Black & Decker Alligator Chain
operation, ensure that the battery is disconnected from the tool
before performing the following operations. Failure to do this
could result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Sharp moving blade. Always wear protective
gloves when installing or removing the chain. The chain is sharp
and can cut you when it is not running.
Chain tension adjustment (fig.
E
)
WARNING:
Before chain or other adjustments, make sure
that the battery is disconnected from the tool.
If the chain cannot be correctly tensioned, it may need to be
replaced. Contact your nearest service center.
The product comes ready assembled. However we recommend that
you check the tension of the chain, and chain retention bolts before
use and if required adjust.
Checking and adjusting the chain tension (fig. E)
To tension the chain slacken the two chain cover retention bolts (11)
with the wrench (12) and the chain tensioning device will push the
chain bar out, setting the correct tension. Retighten the two
retention bolts (11) securely.
Check that the correct tension has been set by lightly pulling on the
chain. The tension is correct when the chain snaps back after being
pulled 1/8” inch (3 mm) away from the guide bar. There should be
no 'sag' between the guide bar and chain on the underside.
Note: Do not over tension the chain as this will lead to excessive
wear and reduce the life of the bar and chain. It will also lead to
reduced product performance.
Note: With first use and when the chain is new, check tension
frequently as a new chain stretches slightly.
Replacing the chain and chain bar
Black And Decker Alligator Manual
