IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
15. USE EYE PROTECTION. Use a full-face mask if the work you're doing
produces metal filings, dust or wood chips. Goggles are acceptable in other
situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work involves creating a lot of fine
or coarse dust.
16. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold the work. It's safer than using
your hands and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
17. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across machines that are running.
18. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and safe performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Keep handles
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
19. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Be sure the switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before plugging in.
20. ALWAYS CHECK AND MAKE SURE TO REMOVE ANY ADJUSTING KEYS
OR WRENCHES before turning the tool on. Left attached, these parts can fly
off a moving part and result in personal injury.
21. DO NOT USE THE TOOL IF IT CANNOT BE SWITCHED ON OR OFF.
Have your tool repaired before using it.
22. DISCONNNECT THE PLUG FROM POWER BEFORE MAKING ANY AD-
JUSTMENTS. Changing attachments or accessories can be dangerous if
the tool could accidentally start.
23. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing & use common sense. Don't operate
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 prop-
erly 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 in-
struction 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 qualified repair technicians at
an authorized repair centre. Improperly repaired tools could cause serious
shock or injury
1. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. When cutting wherever "live" electri-
cal 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
