WARNING When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
personal injury. !
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas can cause injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp,
wet, or poorly lit locations. Don’t expose tools to the rain. Keep the work area
well lit. Don’t use tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept
away from the work area. Don’t let them handle machines, tools or extension
cords. Bystanders can be a distraction and can be injured.
4. GROUNDED TOOLS must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded. Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry
electricity to the ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunction elec--
trically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug or alter the plug in
any way. If in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded according
to code, check with a qualified electrician.
5. OBSERVE PROPER PRECAUTIONS REGARDING DOUBLE INSULA-
TION. This tool is double insulated. It is equipped with a polarized plug.
One blade is wider than the other, so it will fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If you have difficulty inserting the plug, try reversing it. If it still doesn’t
fit , do not alter the plug; have a qualified electrician install a polarized outlet.
6. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. When your
body is grounded the risk of electric shock increases. When working wher-
ever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether
there is a danger of shock. DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS
OF THE TOOL while using it. Hold the tool only by the plastic grip to prevent
electric shock if you contact a live wire.
7. DO NOT MISUSE THE CORD. Never carry your tools by the cord or pull on
the cord to unplug it. Protect the cord from potential sources of damage:
heat, oil & solvents, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
8. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION
CORD. An extension cord rated for outdoor use must be marked “W-A” or
“W”.
9. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or
wet conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
10. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE
FOR ITS LENGTH.
11. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust.
Equipment also should be in a high location or locked up to keep out of
reach of children.
12. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the
rate for which it was intended.
13. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the
work of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use a tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
14. DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry; they can be
caught in moving parts. Protective, non-electrically conductive gloves, protective
eyewear and non-skid footwear are recommended. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and keep yourself from harm.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3
•GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. When cutting wherever “live” electrical
wires may be encountered, hold the tool only by the plastic handle to prevent
electric shock. DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL. If you
contact a live wire, the exposed metal of the saw becomes live as well, and can
shock the operator.
•DO NOT START THE SAW WITH THE BLADE IN CONTACT WITH ANY
SURFACE. The reciprocating action will cause the saw to bounce violently and
could cause injury.
•LET THE SAW COME TO A STOP before putting it down. The reciprocating
action could cause the saw to jerk violently if it contacts anything with the
blade tip.
15. USE EYE PROTECTION. Use a full-face mask if the work you’re doing
produces metal filings, dust or wood chips. Goggles are acceptable in other
situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work involves creating a lot of fine
or coarse dust.
16. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work, this frees both
hands to operate the tool.
17. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines that are running.
18. MAINTAIN TOOLS. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
For safe performance. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
19. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure the switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before plugging in.
20. ALWAYS CHECK AND MAKE SURE TO REMOVE ANY ADJUSTING KEYS
OR WRENCHES before turning the tool on. Left attached, these parts can fly
off a moving part and result in injury.
21. DO NOT USE THE TOOL IF IT CANNOT BE SWITCHED ON OR OFF.
Have your tool repaired before using it.
22. DISCONNNECT THE PLUG FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE MAKING
ANY ADJUSTMENTS.
Changing attachments or accessories can be dangerous
if the tool could accidentally start.
23. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing & use common sense. Don’t operate
any tool when you are tired.
24. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using this tool, any part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate prop-
erly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and other conditions
that may affect its operation. Inspect screws and tighten any ones that are
loose. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the in-
struction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service
center. Don’t use the tool if switch does not turn it on and off properly.
25. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.
26. SERVICE AND REPAIRS should be made by qualified repair technicians at
an authorized repair center. Improperly repaired tools could cause serious
shock or injury.

General Cutting
Hold your saw firmly in front and away from you. Make sure the blade is clear of
any surface and that the power cord is out of the blade path. Be sure the material
to be cut is held firmly. Small pieces should be clamped in place to a workbench.
Mark the line of cut clearly. Depress the trigger switch. Allow the blade to cut the
material. hguoneylnoesU.tiecroftonoD pressure to keep the saw moving forward.
).yletarapesdlossiedalbgnittuclateM(gnittuClateM
Use a sharp blade especially designed to cut the material you are working on. It is
recommended you use a cutting fluid on the metal surface to avoid heat buildup.
Keep the tool housing clean, free of oil, and grease by using mild soap and a
damp (not wet) cloth. Do not let solvents like brake fluid, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, etc., contact plastic parts of the housing. Cleaning with these
substances can harm the plastic and compromise the integrity of the double
insulating system.
Inspect the mounting screws regularly. They should be properly tightened. If
any are found loose, tighten them immediately or serious injury could result.
Use care to see that the motor winding does not become damaged or wet with
oil or water.
Keep the vents clear of dust and debris. A shot of compressed air is ideal.
This will help prevent possible electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling.

efficiency. Running it free of load for a minute or two will allow it to cool itself to
normal temperature.
Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized repair facility if
it is damaged.
Lubrication for this tool is done at the factory and, except for the blade guide
roller, should not be necessary again under normal use. The blade guide roller
can use a drop of oil from time to time.
An authorized repair center should do any repairs, modification, or mainte-
nance that involves opening or disassembling the saw.
