SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WORK AREA SAFETY
m

Keep your work area clean and well lit, Do not leave tools or wood scraps
on the saw while it is in operation. Cluttered workbenches
and dark areas
invite accidents
Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that
may ignite the dust or fumes.

Make sure that the work area has ample lighting so you can see the work
and that there are no obstructions that will interfere with safe operation.

PERSONAL

SAFETY

Know your power tool. Read this operator's manual carefully. Learn the
reciprocating saw's applications and limitations, as welt as the specific,
potential hazards related to this tool.
,,

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
operating a power tool.

sense when

Do not use a power toot while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury_
Dress properly. Do not wear loose ctothing or jewelry° Contain tong hair_
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting of tools. Be sure that the switch is off before
attaching the tool to a power source. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the switch "ON" invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the toot on. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. A dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, and/or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
WARNING:

Be sure to read, understand,

and follow all safety rules and

operating instructions in this manual before using this tool. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
Always use clamps or other practical ways to support and secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•

Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which is designed.

°

Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it "ON" and "OFF." Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired_
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally

o

Never leave the toot running. Always turn it off. Do not leave the tool until it
comes to a complete stop.

=

Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users°

=

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

persons.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the
tool serviced before using° Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.

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.

ELECTRICAL

SAFETY

Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a proper outlet°
Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There

A wet power tool

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or to pull
the plug out of an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating
a power tool outdoors,

If an extension cord is required, use a cord with the proper size of conductor
to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power, or overheating. The
following table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length
and the nameplate amperage rating of the tool. When in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed extension cords.

Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc,), be
sure that the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate
of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the
