When using the Cordless Reciprocating Saw, always maintain a firm grip on
the tool with both hands. Never put your hands or feet in the cutting area. Do
not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the blade. Keep your hands
well away from the blade. Never reach underneath the tool while the blade is in
motion. Do not use your legs or feet to stabilize the work piece.
Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and
walls or posts. Should the blade become bound or jammed in the work, it could
result in loss of control and injury.
Do not run the Cordless Reciprocating Saw while carrying it at your side. A mov-
ing blade could cause serious personal injury.
Disconnect battery pack from tool and place the switch in the locked or
“OFF” position before making any assembly, adjustments, changing acces-
sories, performing any inspection, maintenance or cleaning procedures.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidental-
ly which could cause serious personal injury.
Do not use the Cordless Reciprocating Saw if it has been damaged, left out-
doors in the rain, snow, wet or damp environments, or immersed in liquid.
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.
