Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained tools, with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Any alteration or modification is a misuse
and may result in a dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. 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 situ-
ation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or
circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Never leave the trigger locked "ON".
Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-up
could cause injury.
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 hous-
ing and saw blade holder. The reciprocat-
ing blade holder can pinch your fingers.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent
blade 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 kick-
back.
Always wear safety goggles or eye pro-
tection when using this tool. Use a dust
mask or respirator for applications which
generate dust.

are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool.
Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for
one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified per-
sonnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched, safety guard return springs may
be improperly mounted.
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 the blade holder is tight
before making a cut. A loose holder 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.
Some dust created by
WARNING
!
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 lead-based paint.
• 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.
