SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided 
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions 
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or 
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your 
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated 
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless recipro saw safety warnings
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces, when performing an operation where 
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may 
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” 
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. 
Use clamps or another practical way 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.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. 
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety 
glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any 
nails and remove them before operation.
5. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6. Check for the proper clearance beyond the 
workpiece before cutting so that the blade will 
not strike the oor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool rmly.
8.  Make sure the blade is not contacting the 
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9.  Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool 
only when hand-held.
11. Always switch o and wait for the blade to 
come to a complete stop before removing the 
blade from the workpiece.
12. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely 
hot and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load 
unnecessarily.
14. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator 
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
15. Some material contains chemicals which may 
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier 
safety data.
16. Before operation, make sure that there is no 
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe 
or gas pipe in the workpiece. Otherwise, the 
recipro saw blade may touch them, resulting an 
electric shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity 
with product (gained from repeated use) replace 
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
