WARNING:
For your safety, do not
plug in your reciprocating saw until you
have read and understood this Owner’s
Manual.
Always wear eye protection that conforms
with CSA requirements or ANSI safety
standard Z87.1
Always wear hearing protection and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated areas.
Use of personal protective equipment and
working in a safe environment will reduce
the risk of injury
.
Turn off all electrical power in the vicinity of
work. Contact with ”live” wires could shock
the operator or cause a fire.
Check to make sure the reciprocating saw
power cord and any extension cord are
clear of the area to be cut. Contact with
”live” wires could shock the operator or
cause a fire.
Do not wear gloves, neckties or loose
clothing.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
saw blade 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.
Always hold the tool with two hands.
Attempting to control the tool with only one
hand is dangerous. It could result in loss of
control and serious injury.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when sawing.
Never place the hands near or below the
cutting surface. Clamp the workpiece and
guide the tool with both hands.
Always make sure the work surface is free
from nails and other foreign objects.
Cutting into a nail can cause the blade and
the tool to jump and damage the blade.
Never lay the workpiece on hard surfaces
like concrete, stone, etc. The protruding
blade may cause tool to jump.
DANGER:
Always remove the
plug from the power source when
changing blade.
After changing a blade or making
adjustments, make sure the blade clamp
screw is securely tightened. Loose blades
and adjustment devices could be violently
thrown from the tool.
Never use dull or damaged blades. Sharp
blades must be handled with care.
Damaged blades can snap during use.
Dull blades require more force to cut the
workpiece, possibly causing the blade to
break.
Never touch the blade during or
immediately after use. After use the blade
is too hot to be touched
