IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
!
WARNING: When using electric tools, machines or equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of re, electric
shock, and personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS TOOL
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp,
wet, or poorly lit locations. Don’t expose your tool to rain. Keep the work area
well lit. Don’t use tools in the presence of ammable gases or liquids.
ENGLISH
3. KEEP CHILDREN AND BYSTANDERS AWAY. All children should be kept
away from the work area. Don’t let them handle machines, tools or extension
cords.
Visitors can be a distraction and are difcult to protect from injury.
4. GROUNDED TOOLS must be plugged into an outlet that itself is properly
installed and grounded. Grounding provides a low-resistance path to carry
electricity to ground away from the operator, should the tool malfunction electrically. Do not remove the grounding prong from the plug or alter the plug in
any way. If in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded according
to code, check with a qualied electrician.
5. OBSERVE PROPER PRECAUTIONS REGARDING DOUBLE INSULATION. This tool is double insulated. It is equipped with a polarized plug.
One blade is wider than the other, so it will t into a polarized outlet only one
way. If you have difculty inserting the plug, try reversing it. If it still doesn’t
t , do not alter the plug; have a qualied electrician install a polarized outlet.
6. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces: pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures. When your
body is grounded the risk of electric shock increases. When working wherever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, try to ascertain whether
FRANÇAIS
there is a danger of shock. Even so, DO NOT TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS
OF THE TOOL while using it. Hold the tool only by the plastic grip to prevent
electric shock if you contact a live wire.
7. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry your tool by the cord or pull on
the cord to unplug it. Protect the cord from potential sources of damage:
heat, oil & solvents, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
8. WHEN WORKING OUTDOORS, USE AN OUTDOOR-RATED EXTENSION
CORD. An extension cord rated for outdoor use must be marked “W-A” or
“W”.
9. DO NOT EXPOSE ELECTRICAL POWER TOOLS TO MOISTURE. Rain or
wet conditions can cause water to enter the tool and lead to electric shock.
10. ENSURE THE EXTENSION CORD YOU USE IS OF SUFFICIENT GAUGE
FOR ITS LENGTH.

11. STORE IDLE EQUIPMENT. Store equipment in a dry area to inhibit rust.
Equipment also should be in a high location or locked up to keep out of
reach of children.
12. DON’T FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the
rate for which it was intended.
13. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a small tool or attachment to do the
work of a larger industrial tool. Don’t use a tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended.
14. DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry; they can be
caught in moving parts. Protective, non-electrically conductive gloves and
non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear protective hair
covering to contain long hair and keep it from harm.

any tool when you are tired.
24. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Before using this tool, any part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and other conditions
that may affect its operation. Inspect screws and tighten any ones that are
loose. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by
an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in the instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service
center. Don’t use the tool if switch does not turn it on and off properly.
25. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.
26. SERVICE AND REPAIRS should be made by qualied repair technicians at
an authorized repair centre. Improperly repaired tools could cause serious
shock or injury

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RECIPROCATING SAW
1. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. When cutting wherever “live” electrical wires may be encountered, hold the tool only by the plastic handle and
the rubber grip at the front of the tool to prevent electric shock. DO NOT
TOUCH ANY METAL PARTS OF THE TOOL. If you contact a live wire, the
exposed metal of the saw becomes live as well, and can shock the operator
2. DO NOT START THE SAW WITH THE BLADE IN CONTACT WITH ANY
SURFACE. The reciprocating action will cause the saw to bounce violently
and could cause injury.
3. LET THE SAW COME TO A STOP before putting it sown. The reciprocat-
ing action could cause the saw to jerk violently if it contacts anything with the
blade tip.
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions detailed in this manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that occur. It must be
understood by the operator that COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION ARE
FACTORS that cannot be built into this product, but MUST BE SUPPLIED
BY THE OPERATOR.

WARNING: Turn off your reciprocating saw at once, unplug and inspect it for
serious problems if:
Moving parts are stuck
Speed drops to and abnormally low level
The motor housing gets hot
Sparks or odours emit from the casing
TYPES OF CUTTING
WARNING: Make sure the blade does not touch the workpiece until the saw
reaches its maximum speed set on the Variable Speed Dial. Failure to comply could cause loss of control and result in serious injury.
NOTE: Make sure that you do not hit any electrical wires, gas or water pipes.
Check the wall with a pipe/cable detector before you cut
GENERAL CUTTING
1. Hold your saw rmly in front and away from you, one hand gripping the rear
handle with the index nger on the trigger, the other hand supporting the
rubber forward hand grip from below.
2. Make sure the blade is clear of any surface and that the power cord is out of
the blade path.
3. Be sure the material to be cut is held rmly. Small pieces should be clamped
in place to a workbench.
4. Mark the line of cut clearly.
5. Adjust the variable speed dial to suit the material to be cut.
6. Pull the trigger switch.
7. Allow the saw to reach maximum speed.
8. Set the shoe against the workpiece.
9. Allow the blade to cut the material. Do not force it. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.

PLUNGE CUTTING
1. Mark the line of cut.
2. Place the tip of the saw blade above the point where you intend to start, not
actually touching the surface; the saw resting on the bottom of the shoe, and
oriented parallel to the line of the cut.
3. Start the saw and run it up to full speed.
4. Slowly rock the saw forward on the shoe, tilting it and lowering the blade onto
the workpiece at the cut line. Make sure the blade does not touch the work-
piece until the saw is at maximum speed. If not, you could lose control and
serious injury could result.
5. Continue this tilting as the saw blade abrades a hole in the surface and the
saw is brought perpendicular to the surface.
METAL CUTTING
1. Use a sharp blade especially designed to cut the material you are working
with.
2. It is recommended you use a cutting uid on the metal surface to avoid heat
build up.
3. When cutting metallic material with this tool, be sure to us a ne tooth blade.
4. To ensure safe operation, adjust the motor speed to a slower setting by adjusting the variable speed dial to the lower end of the speed range.
WOOD CUTTING
1. When cutting wood material with this tool, it is recommended to use a coarse
tooth blade.
2. To ensure maximum performance, adjust the variable speed dial to the upper
end of the speed range.
