Safety Rules for Cordless Reciprocating Saws
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut.
The proximity of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.
Keep hands from between the gear housing and saw blade clamp (plunger).
The reciprocating blade clamp (blade plunger) can pinch your fingers.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blades can break easily or cause kickback.
Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and allow the blade to come to full speed. Tool can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too slow at beginning of cut and possibly kickback.
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications, which generate dust.
Secure material before cutting. Never hold it in your hand or across legs. Small
or thin material may flex or vibrate with the blade, causing loss of control.
Make certain all adjusting screws (knobs) and the blade clamp are tight before making a cut. Loose adjusting screws and clamps can cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of control may result.
When removing the blade from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the blade or accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
!WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically- treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Battery/Charger
Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on
(1)battery charger, (2) battery pack, and
