Use And Care Manual

7
WARNING: Know your reciprocating
saw. Do not plug in the tool until you have
read and understand this Instruction Manual.
Learn the tool’s applications and limitations,
as well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
injury.
Always wear eye protection. Any
power tool can throw foreign
objects into your eyes and cause
permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that
comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1.
Everyday glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in
compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause
serious injury when they break.
WARNING: Always use hearing
protection when sawing, particularly during
extended periods of operation.
WARNING: Always unplug the tool from
the power source before changing the blade
and when making any adjustments.
Do not wear gloves, neckties or loose clothing.
Hold the tool by its insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the saw
blade 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.
Always hold the tool with two hands. Attempting
to control the tool with only one hand is
dangerous. It could result in loss of control and
serious injury.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the
tool in the other hand when sawing. Never place
the hands near or below the cutting surface.
Clamp the workpiece and guide the tool with
both hands.
Always make sure the work surface is free from
nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a
nail can cause the blade and the tool to jump
and damage the blade.
Never lay the workpiece on hard surfaces like
concrete, stone, etc. The protruding blade may
cause tool to jump.
After changing a blade or making adjustments,
make sure the blade clamp is holding the blade
securely. Loose blades could be violently thrown
from the tool.
Never use dull or damaged blades. Sharp
blades must be handled with care. Damaged
blades can snap during use. Dull blades require
more force to cut the workpiece, possibly
causing the blade to break.
Never touch the blade during or immediately
after use. After use the blade is too hot to be
touched.
