if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation
of a reciprocating
saw, obtain advice from a qualified
person.
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.
Avoid cutting
nails and staples when operating
with the wood-cutting
blade.
Inspect the workpiece
carefully and remove all nails and staples
before operation.
Make
sure
that the blade
always
extends
beyond
the shoe
and the
workpiece
throughout
the stroke.
Blades
may shatter
if they strike
the
workpiece
or shoe.
Do not cut an oversized
workpiece.
Check for proper clearance
beyond the workpiece
before cutting,
so that
the blade will not strike the floor, workbench,
etc.
Make sure that the blade is not contacting
the workpiece
before the switch
is turned on,

Keep the handle dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use
a clean cloth when cleaning.
Do not use solvents,
brake fluids, gasoline or
