3. 

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 
from other metal objects, like paper clips, 
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal 
objects, that can make a connection from 
one terminal to another. 

Shorting the battery 

terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

4. 

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. 
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. 
If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek 
medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the 

battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. 

  

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Reciprocating Saw Safety Warnings

1. 

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces 
when performing an operation where 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.

2. 

Use clamps or another practical way to secure 
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

 

Holding the work by hand or against your body 
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

3.  Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.   

These carry important safety information.   
If unreadable or missing, contact 
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

4.  Avoid unintentional starting.   

Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.

5.  Do not lay the tool down until it has come to 

a complete stop.  Moving parts can grab the 
surface and pull the tool out of your control.

6.  When using a handheld power tool, 

maintain a firm grip on the tool with both 
hands to resist starting torque.

7.  Do not leave the tool unattended when the 

Battery Pack is connected.  Turn off the tool, 
and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.

8. 

The battery Charger gets hot during 
use.  The Charger’s heat can build up to 
unsafe levels and create a fire hazard if 
it does not receive adequate ventilation, 

due to an electrical fault, or if it is used in a 
hot environment. 
Do not place the Charger on a flammable surface.  
Do not obstruct any vents on the Charger.  

Especially avoid placing the charger on carpets 
and rugs; they are not only flammable, but they 
also obstruct vents under the charger. 

Place the Charger on a stable, solid, nonflammable 
surface (such as a stable metal workbench or 
concrete floor) at least 1 foot away from all 
flammable objects, such as drapes or walls.  Keep 
a fire extinguisher and a smoke detector in the 
area.  Frequently monitor the Charger and 
Battery Pack while charging.

9.  This product is not a toy.  

Keep it out of reach of children.

10.  People with pacemakers should consult their 

physician(s) before use.  Electromagnetic fields in 
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause 
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

11.  The warnings, precautions, and instructions 

discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover 
all possible conditions and situations that may 
occur.   
It must be understood by the operator that 
common sense and caution are factors 
which cannot be built into this product, 
but must be supplied by the operator.
