WORK AREA

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence

of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite

the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from

debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding

prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check

with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly

grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding

provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any

way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power

cord and grounded power supply system.

6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

grounded.

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or

pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp

edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged

Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked

“W-A” or“W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk

of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating

a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep

your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure theTrigger is off before plugging in. Carrying

power tools with your finger on the Trigger, or plugging in power tools with the Trigger

on, invites accidents.

13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key that is left attached to a moving part of the power tool may result in personal

injury.

SKU 4095 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. PAGE 4

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing

and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the

workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is

unstable and may lead to loss of control.

17. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool

will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

18. Do not use the power tool if theTrigger does not turn it on or off. Any tool that

cannot be controlled with the Trigger is dangerous and must be replaced.

19. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

20. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

21. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to

control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the

tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

tools.

23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when

used on another tool.

SERVICE

24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions

in the

“Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning”

section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of

electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where

the cutting tools 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. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

3. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Saw. These carry important information.

If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

4. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves

when using the Saw. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury.

Safety impact eye goggles and heavy work gloves are available from Harbor Freight

Tools.

5. Maintain a safe working environment. Make sure there is adequate surrounding

workspace. Always keep the work area free of obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and

other debris. Do not use a power tool in areas near flammable chemicals, dusts,

and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp or wet location.

6. When using a handheld power tool, always maintain a firm grip on the tool

with both hands to resist starting torque.

7. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work before

turning on the Saw.

8. Do not force the Saw. This tool will do the work better and safer at the speed and

capacity for which it was designed. Do not force the tool and do not use the tool for

a purpose for which it is not intended.

9. Always keep the extension cord away from moving parts on the tool.

10. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before

using this product. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a heart pacemaker

could cause interference to or failure of the pacemaker.

In addition, people with pacemakers should adhere to the following:

• Avoid operating power tools alone.

• Don’t use a power tool with the Trigger locked on.

• If powered via a power cord be certain that the tool is properly grounded. A ground

fault interrupt (GFCI) system is also a good precaution. This inexpensive device

is a good safety measure because it prevents a sustained electrical shock.

• Properly maintain and inspect all tools before use to avoid electrical shock.

11. Never lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can

grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.

12. Never leave the saw unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.

Turn off the tool, and unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.

SKU 4095 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. PAGE 6

13. Always unplug the Saw from its electrical outlet before performing any

inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

14. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of California) to

cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of

work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,

and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially

designed to filter out microscopic particles.

(California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)

15. Always check the Saw Blade (59, 60) to make sure it does not have missing teeth,

cracks, or is bent. Do not use a damaged Saw Blade.

16. Check that there is enough space under and behind the workpiece for the

reciprocating Saw Blade (59, 60). Make sure you will not be cutting through any

electrical wires or your workbench.

17. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Reciprocating

Saw while the Saw is “ON” or plugged in to its electrical outlet.

18. Never cut material that is thicker than the length of the Saw Blade (59, 60).

19. Do not exert side-to-side pressure on the Saw Blade (59, 60) or attempt to cut curves.

Doing so will break the Saw Blade and possibly cause pieces of the blade to fly

outward, causing injury.

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the

outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with

the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by

a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong

grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If

the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low

resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of elec-

tric shock. (See Figure A.)

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the

cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the

only wire connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached

to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)

3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet

should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)

FIGURE A

SKU 4095 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. PAGE 8

FIGURE B

DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS

4. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special

double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with

the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian

Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)

5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the

following illustration. (See Figure B.)

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded

tools require a three wire extension cord.

Double Insulated

tools

can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge

extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a

serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

(See Figure C, next page.)

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.

For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Figure C.)

4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make

sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.

(See Figure C.)

5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate

amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.

(See Figure C.)

SKU 4095 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. PAGE 9

6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix

“W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified

electrician before using it.

8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or

wet areas.
