GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains‑operated (corded) power tool or battery‑operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
4
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2) Electrical Safety
a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
f ) If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal Safety
a ) 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.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust
mask, non‑skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off‑position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up
or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
English
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust‑related hazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
d)
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) 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.
b ) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
e)
f)
g)
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting
in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to
fire or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may
cause explosion.

charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety Instructions for Reciprocating Saws
•
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. 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 workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
WARNING: Do not operate this tool for long
periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating
action of this tool may cause permanent injury to
fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra
cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily
time of use.
WARNING: Inspect work area for hidden
electrical wiring, gas pipes or water pipes
before making blind or plunge cuts. Failure to
do so may result in electrical shock, fire, explosion, or
property damage.
Hold saw firmly with both hands for all cutting
operations. During cutting operations, the blade may
suddenly bind in the work and may cause the saw to
kickback towards the operator.

Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach
underneath the material for any reason. Hold front of saw
by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not insert
fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating
blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by
gripping the shoe.
Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to
swerve or stall under pressure.
Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay
particular attention to overhead wires which may
be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling
branches and debris ahead of time.
When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are
free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
Do not touch the workpiece or the blade
immediately after operating the tool. They can
become very hot.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part
of it. Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
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, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• 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.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption
of harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face
and body.
Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to
remove the vast majority of static and airborne
dust. Failure to remove static and airborne dust could
contaminate the working environment or pose an
increased health risk to the operator and those in
close proximity.
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

• Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum
speed before applying pressure.
• Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting as
shown in Figure F. Whenever possible, the pivoting shoe
must be held firmly against the material being cut. This
will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and will
minimize blade breakage.
Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil, chalk or scriber.
1. Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade
clamp securely.
2. Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the
pivoting shoe is firmly on the work surface.
3. Switch motor on, permitting blade to attain
maximum speed.
4. Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate
upward swing with the handle of the saw.
5. The blade will begin to feed into material. Always
be sure blade is completely through material before
continuing with pocket cut.
NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the
edge of the pivoting shoe as a guide.
Flush Cutting (Fig. H)
•
The compact design of the recipro­cating saw motor
housing and pivoting shoe permit close cutting to floors,
corners and other difficult areas.
1. To maximize flush cutting capabilities, insert the blade
shaft into the blade clamp with the teeth of the blade
facing up.
2. Turn the saw upside down so you are as close to the
work surface as possible.
Wood Cutting (Fig. I)
1. Before cutting any type of wood, be sure the workpiece
is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
2. Place blade and pivoting shoe firmly against work
to be cut.
3. Switch on saw motor before starting the cut.
4. Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting.
Whenever possible, the pivoting shoe must be held
firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent
the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize
blade breakage.
Project Tips
•
•
Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put
less strain on the motor while cutting.
When cutting, always ensure that the pivoting shoe
is resting against the workpiece. This will improve
operator control and minimize vibration.
For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades or carbide
tipped blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded
to high speed steel teeth making the blade more
flexible and less prone to breaking.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Metal Cutting (Fig. J)
1. Use a fine tooth blade for ferrous metals and a coarse
tooth blade for non-ferrous materials.
2. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to
the underside of the sheet. This will ensure a clean cut
without excess vibration or tearing of metal.
3. Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces blade life
and causes costly blade breakage.
NOTE: You should spread a thin film of oil or other coolant
along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation
and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene
is preferred.
