_1_ WARNING;
For your safety, always turn off the switch and unplug the
reciprocating
saw from the power source before performing
any maintenance
or
cleaning°
Periodic
maintenance
of your reciprocating
saw allows for tong life and trouble-
free operation.
The saw can generate considerable
quantities
of cutting residue.
A cleaning,
lubrication,
and maintenance
schedule
should
be maintained°
As a common-sense
and preventive
maintenance
practice, follow these
recommended
steps:
o
Inspect the blade; check it for wear or damage.
Keep the ventilation
slots of the motor clean to prevent overheating
of the
motor. Electric tools are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature
failure when they are used to work on fiberglass
boats and sports cars,
wallboard,
spackling
compounds
or plaster. The chips and grindings from
these materials are highly abrasive to electrical
tool parts, such as bearings,
brushes, commutators,
etc. Consequently,
it is not recommended
that
this tool be used for extended
work on any fiberglass
material, wallboard,
spackling
compound,
or plasten
During any use on these materials,
it is
extremely
important
that the tool is cleaned frequently
by blowing with an air
jet.
m
Use a soft clean and damp cloth to wipe the tool housing. A mild detergent
can be used but nothing like alcohol, gasoline or other cleaning agent_ Never
use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
,_
WARNING;
Always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shields
during power tool operations
or when blowing
dust. If operation
is dusty, also
wear a dust mask°
WARNING:
When changing
a blade immediately
after operation,
allow the
blade to cool before removing
it to avoid possible
burning_
,_
WARNING;
Keep the tool's air vents unclogged
and clean at all times.
