Reciprocating Saw Safety Warnings
1.
Hold power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where cutting tool
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.
2.
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.
3. Maintain labels and nameplates on
the tool.
These carry important safety
information.
If unreadable or missing,
contact Harbor Freight Tools for
a replacement.
4. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning
on the tool.
5. Do not lay the tool down until it has
come to a complete stop. Moving
parts can grab the surface and pull
the tool out of your control.
6. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands to resist starting torque.
7. Do not leave the tool unattended
when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug
it from its electrical outlet before
leaving.
8. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
9. People with pacemakers should
consult their physician(s) before
use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could
cause pacemaker interference or
pacemaker failure. In addition,
people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with Trigger locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to
avoid electrical shock.
• Properly ground power cord.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) should also be implemented –
it prevents sustained electrical shock.
10. WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities, contains chemicals known
to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures
varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in
a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic
particles. (California Health &
Safety Code § 25249.5,
et seq.
)
11. WARNING: The cord of this product
contains lead, a chemical known
