SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adher-
ence to recipro saw safety rules. If you use this
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer seri-
ous personal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the
operator.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of con-
trol.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordi-
nary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
5. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6. Check for the proper clearance beyond the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade
will not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool firmly.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing saw blade (Fig. 1)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
First, use the hex wrench to loosen the bolt. With the
blade teeth facing upward or downward, insert the blade
until the hole in the blade shank is just over the protru-
sion on the slider. Then tighten the bolt to secure the
blade.
Adjusting shoe (Fig. 2)
Loosen the two bolts holding the shoe. Then slide the
shoe back or forth to the desired position and tighten the
two bolts securely. When the blade loses its cutting effec-
tiveness in one place, reposition the shoe to obtain better
cutting in another.
