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
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

Make sure your extension cord is the proper size. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The table on at right shows the correct size to use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace
using it. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp
or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This circuit must not be less

and paneling
• Drywall
• Fiber board and plastic
• Metals, such as pipe, steel rods, sheet steel, aluminum, brass,
and copper.
NOTE:
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.
WARNING
For safety reasons, the operator must read the sections of this Owner’s Manual entitled
"GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS", "POWER TOOL SAFETY", "SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES",
"EXTENSION CORD SAFETY" and "SYMBOLS" before using this reciprocating saw.
Verify the following every time the reciprocating saw is used:
1. The correct blade for the material being cut is installed
in the saw.
2. The blade is firmly clamped in the blade holder.
3. The blade is sharp and in good condition.
4. The workpiece is properly secured.
5. Safety glasses and hearing protection are
being worn.

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.
DANGER:
Any workpiece that is not adequately clamped in place may come loose
3.
Make sure there are no nails, screws, clamps or foreign materials in the path of the
saw blade.

surface to be cut, start the saw by squeezing the switch trigger.
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:
in breaking the blade.

PLUNGE CUTTING
1. Clearly mark the workpiece to locate the position of the cut.
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.
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 con-
tacts 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
Metals such as pipe, steel rods, sheet steel, aluminum, brass and copper can
