Safety Rules and Operating Instructions. The important precautions, safeguards
and instructions appearing in this manual are not meant to cover all possible
situations. It must be understood that common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into the product.
SYMBOL MEANING
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CSA
Z94.3 or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1
FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription
eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye protection.
Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if broken during
the operation of a power tool.
Use hearing protection, particularly during extended periods
of operation of the tool, or if the operation is noisy.
WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.
Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,drilling, and
other construction activities may contain chemicals that are known
to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities.
These chemicals include:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according
to how often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce

POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNING
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.

5
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust- related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed. DO NOT
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and DO NOT allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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
could result in a hazardous situation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the fastener may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Fasteners 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 other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
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.

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 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.

MATERIALS YOU CAN CUT
of materials. Some of these materials include:
• Wood products such as lumber, hardwood, plywood, composite board,
and paneling
NOTE:
metal cutting blades (fine teeth) and wood cutting blades (coarse teeth). Use the
correct blade for your application. The packaging on the blade will indicate the type
of materials each blade is designed to cut.
GENERAL CUTTING
1. Clearly mark the workpiece to locate the position of the cut.
2. Hold smaller workpieces with a vice. Clamp larger workpieces to a
workbench or table.
WARNING : Any workpiece that is not adequately clamped in place may
come loose and cause serious injury. Never hold the workpiece with your hand.
3. Make sure there are no nails, screws, clamps or foreign materials in
4. Hold the saw away from your body and in front of you.
5. With both hands firmly gripping the saw, and with the blade NOT in contact
with the surface to be cut, start the saw by pressing the lock-out switch and
squeezing the trigger switch.
6. Once the saw has reached the desired speed, place the adjustable pivoting shoe
against the workpiece and gradually bring the moving blade into contact with the
workpiece at the appropriate location.
CAUTION
DO NOT force the saw. Use only enough force to keep the blade cutting. Excessive
pressure on the blade will cause it to bend and twist, which may result in breaking
the blade.

13
PLUNGE CUTTING
1. Clearly mark the workpiece to locate the position of the cut.
2. Clamp the workpiece to a workbench or table.
NOTE: Make sure the area to be cut is clear under the workpiece so that the blade
will not come into contact with anything other than the workpiece.
3. Select a convenient starting point in the area to be cut out. Place the tip of the
blade over that point.
4. Rest the lower edge of the adjustable pivoting shoe on the workpiece and hold it
firmly in that position, maintaining a shallow cutting angle.
5. Press the lock-out switch and squeeze the trigger switch to start the saw.
WARNING : Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until the saw
reaches full speed. Loss of control and possible injury could result.
6. With the saw running at full speed, slowly tilt the saw until the tip of the blade
contacts the workpiece and begins to cut. After the blade cuts through the
workpiece, tilt the saw upward until the blade is perpendicular to the workpiece.
METAL CUTTING
1. Metals such as pipe, steel rods, sheet steel, aluminum, brass and copper can
be cut with your reciprocating saw.
2. To cut thin sheet material, "sandwich" the material between hardboard or
plywood and clamp the layers to limit vibration and material tearing.
3. Always use a fine toothed metal cutting blade and run the saw at medium
speeds when cutting metal.
4. Use cutting oil to keep the blade cool, increase cutting DO NOT twist or
bend the saw blade.
5. DO NOT force the saw blade. Let it cut at its own speed.
WARNING : Always clamp the workpiece in a vice, or to a workbench or table.
DO NOT hold workpiece in your hand. Never use gasoline as a lubricant or as a
cleaning agent. A spark from the motor may cause an explosion. Gasoline will also
damage the plastic components of the saw.
