GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
1
4) Power tool use and care
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of
the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infirm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children
and infirm persons.
RECIPROCATING SAW SAFETY WARNING
1. Hold 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.

PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirement specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If
the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be kept
as short as practicable.
4. Dust produced in operation
The dust produced in normal operation may affect
the operator’s health. To wear a dust mask is
recommended.
5. Mounting the blade
This unit employs a detachable mechanism that
enables mounting and removal of saw blades without
the use of a wrench or other tools.
(1) Turn on and off the switching trigger several times
so that the lever can jump out of the front cover
completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and unplug
the power cord. (Fig. 1)
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off and
the power cord unplugged to prevent any accident.

(5) Pull the back of the saw blade two or three times by
hand and check that the blade is securely mounted.
When pulling the blade, you will know it is properly
mounted if it clicks and the lever moves slightly.
(Fig. 6)
CAUTION
When pulling the saw blade, be absolutely sure to
pull it from the back. Pulling other parts of the blade
will result in an injury.

6. Dismounting the blade
(1) Turn on and off the switching trigger several times so
that the lever can jump out of the front cover
completely. Thereafter, turn off the switch and unplug
the power cord. (Fig. 1)
CAUTION
Be absolutely sure to keep the switch turned off and
the power cord unplugged to prevent any accident.
(2) After you have pushed the lever in the direction of
the arrow mark shown in Fig. 2, turn the blade so it
faces downward. The blade should fall out by itself. If
the blade doesn’t fall out, pull it out by hand.
CAUTION
Never touch the saw blade immediately after use. The
metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.
WHEN THE BLADE IS BROKEN
Even when the saw blade is broken and remains inside
the small slit of the plunger, it should fall out if you
push the lever in the direction of the arrow mark, and
face the blade downward. If it doesn’t fall out itself,
take it out using the procedures explained below.
(1) If a part of the broken saw blade is sticking out of the
small slit of the plunger, pull out the protruding part
and take the blade out.
(2) If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small slit,
hook the broken blade using a tip of another saw blade
and take it out. (Fig. 7)
