I. INTENDED USE

The Reciprocating saw is for cutting
metal, wood, and drywall only.
II. ADDITIONAL
SAFETY RULES
1) Keep hands away from cutting area
and blade. Keep your insulated
gripping surfaces. If both hands are
holding the tool, they cannot be cut by
the blade.
2) Never hold piece being cut in your
hands or across your leg. It is
important to support the work properly
to minimize body exposure or loss of
control.
3) Be aware that this tool is always in an
operating condition, since it does not
have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet.
4) Always use safety goggles or glasses
with side shields. Ordinary eye or sun
glasses are NOT safety glasses.
5) When this tool is used for woodworking
in confined areas (e.g. indoors), wear
dust mask.
6) Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece
for any nails and remove them before
operation.
7) Do not cut oversized workpiece.
8) Check for the proper clearance beyond
the workpiece before cutting so that
the blade will not strike the floor,
workbench, etc.
9) Hold the tool firmly.
10) Make sure the blade is not contacting
the workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
11) Keep hands away from moving parts.
12) Do not touch the blade or workpiece
immediately after operation; they may
be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
13) Never swing tool.
14) Do not use blades which are deformed
or cracked.
15) Do not use blades which do not
comply with the characteristics
specified in these instructions.
16) Remove the battery pack from the tool
body before replacement of the blade,
making adjustments, or other
maintenance work.
17) Wear ear protectors when using the
tool for extended periods.
18) During charging, the charger may
become slightly warm. This is normal.
Do NOT charge the battery for a long
period.
19) Do not store the tool and battery pack
in locations where the temperature
may reach or exceed 50°C (122°F)
(such as a metal tool shed, or a car in
the summer), which can lead to
deterioration of the storage battery.
20) The ambient temperature range is
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
III. SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
RECIPROCATING
SAWS
1) Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
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.
