for proper use and maintenance of this tool. If a
NOTE is indicated make sure it is fully understood.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and

other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• 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 dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

WARNING: Handling the power cord on corded products may expose you to

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like:
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-

nals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge 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 tool’s 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 create a risk of injury

when used on another tool.

SERVICE

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance by unqualified personnel may 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 AND/OR SYMBOLS

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when perform-

ing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact

with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.

SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS RECIPROCATING SAWS

Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust
mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.

Secure the material being worked on. Never hold it in your hand or across
your legs. Unstable support can cause loss of control and injury.

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 in the locked or “OFF” position
before inserting battery pack. Carrying power tools with your finger on the

switch or inserting battery pack into a tool with the power 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 enable 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..

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is 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 safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or “OFF” posi­tion before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventative 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.

Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

When restarting a saw in the workpiece, check that teeth are not engaged in
the material.

Keep the handle of the Cordless Reciprocating Saw dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease.

Be extra careful when cutting in high or hard-to-reach locations. Be on the

lookout for hidden wires and falling debris.

Maintain labels and nameplates on the Cordless Reciprocating Saw. These
carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Alltrade for a
replacement.

BATTERY

Before using battery pack, please read carefully all instruc­tions and cautionary markings on battery pack, battery
charger and product using battery.

Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely dam­aged or is completely worn out. The battery pack can explode.

Do not carry battery packs in aprons, pockets, or tool

boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc. with loose metal objects. Battery

pack terminals could be short circuited causing damage to the battery pack,
severe burns or fire.

The battery pack is Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) and is considered to be a toxic
material by the Environmental Protection Agency. Before disposing of dam-

aged or worn out Ni-Cad battery packs, check with your State Environmental
Protection Agency to find out about special restrictions on the disposal of these
battery packs, take them to your local recycling center for proper disposal, or
call 1-800-822-8837.

The battery is not fully charged. Before first use, the battery pack requires
3-5 hours charge time to be fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 1 hour
for the battery to be fully charged.

Always switch to a fresh battery when tool performance begins to diminish.

Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster
the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can have a shortened life.

Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool even after tool performance
has decreased. Do not attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to

pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool
and recharge the battery for optimal performance.

Charge battery pack at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F.
Store tool and battery pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed

120°F. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
The battery pack should always be recharged when the Cordless Drill begins to

run slowly.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects such as

paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals

together may cause sparks, burns, or fire.

“OFF” and the green light should come “ON” indicating that the battery is fully
charged and the charger is now in a “Trickle Charge” mode.

6. The battery can be left in a “Trickle Charge” mode until ready to use.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT BATTERIES

When using your Cordless Reciprocating Saw continuously, the batteries in your
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool down for
approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge. When the battery pack
becomes discharged and is hot, the red light on the charger will flash. When the
battery pack cools down, the red light will glow continuously to indicate fast
charging mode, 1-hour charge time.

This will occur when continuous use of your Cordless

Reciprocating Saw causes the battery pack to become hot. It does not occur

under normal circumstances.
