WARNING
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Secure your workpiece. Use clamps or
a vice to hold the workpiece as this is
safer than using your hand and frees both
hands to operate the tool.
Make sure that there are no nails or
foreign objects in the path of the
workpiece to be cut or sanded.
Never use dull blades in the tool. They
will cut slower, leave rough cuts and
break easily due to added pressure and
excessive heat. They will also overload the
motor and cause premature failure of the
tool.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure that these are connected and
properly used to reduce dust-related
hazards.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.

to this tool, in order to reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire or serious injury.
Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these

result in serious personal injury.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before
connecting to the power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch, or energising power tools
that are switched on, invites accidents.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. A power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
Hold the power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. A cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock. Use
clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Never
reach underneath the workpiece for any
reason. Do not insert your fingers or
thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating
blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize
the tool by gripping the shoe.
When cutting pipe or conduit, make sure
that they are free from water, electrical
wiring, etc.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This will enable
better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
The blade will continue to move after
releasing the switch. Always switch the
tool off and wait for the saw blade to
come to a complete standstill before
