TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING:
To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed
by a qualified service technician.
WARNING:
When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts. The use
of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause damage to the product.
WARNING:
Unplug the
reciprocating saw from the power source
before cleaning or performing any
maintenance.

Using compressed air
may be the most effective cleaning method.

is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through
the service organization.

Do not allow brake flu-
ids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,

tain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic.
Before each use:
•
Inspect the reciprocating saw, the
switch, and the cord for damage.
•
Check for damaged, missing, or worn
parts.
•
Check for loose screws, misalignment
