If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of a reciprocating
saw, obtain advice from a qualified person.
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Avoid cutting nails and staples when operating with the wood blade.
Inspect the workpiece carefully and remove all nails and staples before
operation.
Make sure that the blade always extends beyond the shoe and the
workpiece throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if they strike the
workpiece or shoe.
Do not cut an oversized workpiece.
Check for proper clearance beyond the workpiece before cutting, so that
the blade will not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
Make sure that the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the
switch is turned on.
Keep the saw blades clean and sharp.
Use only correct blades. Always use blades recommended for the
workpiece material.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
Always release the switch to “OFF” and wait for the tool to come to a
complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece.
Keep the handle dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a
clean cloth when cleaning. Do not use solvents, brake fluids, gasoline or
other petroleum products to clean the tool; they may damage plastic parts.
Do not operate this tool in a gaseous or explosive environment or near
explosive materials.
Never force the tool. Apply firm pressure against the saw’s pivot shoe for
the sawing operation; too little or too much pressure could cause jumping
or vibration and may break the blade.
Never operate the saw without the pivot shoe in position. The spindle may
strike against the workpiece and damage the reciprocating mechanism.
