• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard.
Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knocked over.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California 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.
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.
• 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. Direct particles away from face
and body.
• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to
remove the vast majority of static and airborne
dust . Failure to remove static and airborne dust could
contaminate the working environment or pose an
increased health risk to the operator and those in
close proximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
• Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach
underneath the material for any reason. Hold front of saw
by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not insert
fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating
blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by
gripping the shoe.
• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to
swerve or stall under pressure.
• Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay
particular attention to overhead wires which may
be hidden from view.
Anticipate the path of falling
branches and debris ahead of time.
• When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are
free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
• Do not touch the workpiece or the blade
immediately after operating the tool.
They can
become very hot.
