Information
WARNING
This section contains important safety in-
formation that is specific to this tool.
Read these precautions carefully before
using the reciprocating saw to reduce the
risk of electrical shock, fire, explosion or
serious personal injury.

Reciprocating Saw Safety
• Hold the power tool (reciprocating saw)
by insulated gripping surfaces, when per-
forming an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the op-
erator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by
hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• Always wear appropriate eye protection
and hearing protection.
Saw blades can
break or shatter. Sawing may produce chips/ -
particles that can be thrown or fall into eyes.
Sawing produces high noise levels that over
time can damage your hearing.
• Always wear appropriate personal pro-
tective equipment.
Face shields, long
sleeves, safety shoes, hard hat, dust mask
and other equipment as appropriate will re-
duce the risk of injury.

• Do not wear loose clothing when operat-
ing machine.
Keep sleeves and jackets but-
toned. Do not reach across machine. Cloth -
ing can be caught by the machine resulting
in entanglement.
• Keep bystanders clear of work area.
Guard or barricade minimum of 6 feet (2
meter) around the working area.
Particles
or broken saw blades can be thrown and
cause injury beyond immediate area of op-
eration. A guard or barricade that provides a
clearance around the work piece will reduce
the risk of injury.
• Keep hands away from reciprocating saw
blades.
Allow blade to come to a complete
stop before handling the blade or workpiece.
This practice will reduce the chance of entan-
glement in moving parts.
• Do not modify reciprocating saw or use
for any other purpose.
Other uses or mod-
ifying the saw for other applications may
damage the tool, damage the attachments
and/or cause personal injury.
• Always use the support device provided
with the tool.
Properly support the work
piece. Make sure the work piece is secured
to a stable platform. Loss of control during op-
eration can result in personal injury.
• Do not cut unless there is proper clear-
ance beyond the workpiece being cut.
The
blade may cause the tool to kick-back if it
strikes a hidden object and may damage the
tool, damage the attachments and/or cause
personal injury.
• Use proper protective gloves when grasp-
ing the blade or accessory.
When removing
the blade from the tool avoid contact with skin.
Equipment may be hot after prolonged use.
• Use caution when working overhead. An-
ticipate the path of falling material and debris
ahead of time.
• Do not operate this tool for longer periods
of time.
Vibration caused by the operating ac-
tion of this tool may cause permanent injury
to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to
provide extra cushion, take frequent rest pe-
riods, and limit daily time of use.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent
blade can break easily or cause kickback re-
sulting in damage to the tool, workpiece
and/or cause personal injury.
• Before starting to cut, turn the saw "ON"
