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.
5) 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.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infirm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children
and infirm persons.
RECIPROCATING SAW SAFETY WARNING
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed

PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirement specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If
the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept
as short as practicable.
4. Dust produced in operation
The dust produced in normal operation may affect
the operator’s health. To wear a dust mask is
recommended.
5. Mounting the blade
This unit employs a detachable mechanism that
enables mounting and removal of saw blades without
the use of a wrench or other tools.
(1) Turn on and off the switching trigger several times
so that the lever can jump out of the front cover
completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and unplug
the power cord. (Fig. 1)
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off and
the power cord unplugged to prevent any accident.
