3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed. Do not allow children to handle or play with these products. Electrical Safety 4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents. 13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. 14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. Service 24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury. 25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this manual.
3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.) FIGURE A Double Insulated Tools: Tools With Two Prong Plugs 4. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Figure C.) 5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Figure C.) 6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. 7.
Specific Safety Rules 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Maintain a safe working environment. Make sure there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Maintain labels and nameplates on this item. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. When using a handheld power tool, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both hands.
CHARGING THE BATTERY Note: Always switch to a fresh battery when tool performance begins to diminish. Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can be permanently damaged. Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool even after tool performance is decreasing. Never attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to pull the tool trigger.
OPERATION Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagrams at the end of the manual.

Slide the Battery (47) into the base of the Reciprocating saw. Note: Do not start the Reciprocating Saw if the Saw Blade (23) is in contact with anything before operation.
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING 1. WARNING! Always remove the Battery Pack (47) from a tool and unplug the AC Charger Adapter (53) from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning on the tool. 2.
