User manual Eagle EG178 Pneumatic reciprocating saw 

  After releasing the start/stop lever, the tool 

will run for a short period of time.  

  Always disconnect the air pressure hose 

before adjusting the tool or changing 

accessories. 

  Loose clothing and hair can get caught by 

the blade and may cause serious injuries. 

  When working in tight spaces hand 

injuries may occur caused by reaction 

forces 

  Keep children away from air-tools. 

  Only use this tool when assured that your 

body is in a position to counteract to the 

possible reaction forces caused by 

stalling. 

  Always keep the tool clean and dry. 

  Always keep the work area clean, 

sufficiently ventilated and well lit. 

  Repairs must be carried out by authorized 

persons only. 

Special warnings for blades 

 

  Never use cracked or 

deformed blades. 

  Only use blades of the 

correct size. 

  Make sure the work piece is properly 

supported or fixed. 

  Check that the work piece is in such a 

position that the created opening will 

become wider or remain the same, thus 

preventing the tool from stalling. Stalling 

will cause unexpected reaction forces. 

  If the blade gets jammed, immediately 

shut off the tool and ease the blade free. 

Thoroughly inspect the blade for damage 

before proceeding. 

  Pay special attention to the dangers of 

dust and fumes resulting from sawing 

dangerous materials. Always wear a dust 

mask. 

  Do not operate the saw with bystanders 

present. 

  Examine the saw thoroughly before each 

use and especially when the tool has 

been dropped. 

4  Main application 

This tool is intended for the sawing metal, 

aluminium and plastics in combination with 

good quality proper fitting blades.
