SERVICE
• 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
RECIPROCATING SAW
• 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 metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way
to support the workpiece and secure it
to a stable platform. Holding the work
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.

following symbols. The symbols and
their definitions are as follows:

• The saw blade must be securely locked
in its holder. Check that it has been
securely seated before use.
• Make certain that all adjusting levers
and the blade holder are tight before
making a cut. Loose adjusting levers and
holders can cause the tool or blade to
slip; loss of control may result.
• Check that the switch is “off” before
plugging the tool in or attaching a
battery. Accidental starting could cause
injury.
• Secure material before cutting. Never
hold the workpiece in your hand or
across your legs. Small or thin material
may flex or vibrate with the blade,
causing loss of control.
• Never touch the saw blade
immediately after use. It may be hot
after prolonged use.
• Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use
a dust mask or respirator if cutting
generates a great amount of dust.
• Keep hands away from the cutting
area. Do not reach under the material
being cut. The proximity of the blade to
your hand is hidden from your sight.
• Do not use dull or damaged saw blades
and accessories.
