SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Be sure to read and understand all instructions in this manual before using the reciprocating saw. Failure to follow all instructions may result in hazardous radiation exposure, electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have thoroughly read all instructions, safety rules, and warnings. Failure to comply with them can result in fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury. Save the manual and refer to it frequently.
GENERAL SAETY PRECAUTIONS WORK AREA SAFETY
•Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any |
|
|
|
way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the |
|
|
|
three wire grounded power cord and grounded power |
|
|
|
supply system. |
120V |
|
|
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such |

|
|
|
||
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is |
|
|
|
grounded. |
|
|
|
• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. The following table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of the tool.
When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use UL and CSA listed extension cords.

PERSONAL SAFETY
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
•Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
•Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
•Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user – as well as damage to the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
•Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is
17434 Manual_Revised_09-0727 |

|
17434 Manual_Revised_09-0727 |
Page 5 |
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which is designed.
•Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. 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 maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•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 are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on another tool.
•Do not alter or misuse tool. These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification not specified is misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.
SERVICE
•Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
•When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES SFOR JIGSAWS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.
•Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade and not in direct line with the saw blade.
•Do not reach under the workpiece. The blade extends under the workpiece when saw is cutting.
•Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
•Do not cut an oversized workpiece.
•Check for the proper clearance under the workpiece before cutting
so that the blade will not strike the workbench or material under the workpiece.
•Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
•Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces (handles) when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make the exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
•Secure material before cutting. Never hold a workpiece in your hand or across your legs. Small or thin material may flex or vibrate with the blade, causing loss of control.
•When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight edge guide. This improves the accuracy of the cut and reduces the chance of the blade binding.
•Never cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the worktable at a time.
•Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip
