MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
WARNING: When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. The use of
any other part may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
DO NOT use solvents when cleaning
plastic parts. Plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust,
oil, grease etc.
WARNING: Do not allow brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. to come into contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals
that can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive
practices can damage the tool and the
workpiece.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to modify
tools or create accessories. Any such
alteration or modification is misuse and
could result in a hazardous condition leading
to possible serious injury. It will also void the
warranty.
It has been found that electric tools are
subjected to accelerated wear and possible
premature failure when they are used on
fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard,
spackling compounds or plaster. The chips
and grindings from these materials are
highly abrasive to electric tool parts such
as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, it is not recommended that
this tool be used for extended work on any
fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds or plaster. During any use on
these materials it is extremely important that
the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing it
out with an air jet.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields during all
cutting operations. It is critical that you also
wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields and a dust mask while blowing
dust out of the reciprocating saw with an air
jet. Failure to take these safety precautions
could result in permanent eye or lung
damage.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated
with a sufficient amount of high-grade
lubricant for the life of the unit under normal
conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
