RECIPROCATING SAW SAFETY
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.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work
piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important
safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Performance Tool for
a replacement.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
• 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.
• When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands to resist starting torque.
• 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.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.

UNPACKING
• This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury,
particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of
vibration-related injury:
• Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should
first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use.
Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the
hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes or
Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical or
physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and
white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
• Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the
hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration related injury.
• Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
• Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between
different processes.
• Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
• Grip tool as lightly as possible while still keeping safe control of it. Let
the tool do the work.
• To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
