SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. WORK AREA SAFETY
   • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   • 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.
   • Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
   • Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
   • Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   • Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   • Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   • When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   • If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. The use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
   • Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   • Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, nonskid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before connecting to a power source and/ or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   • Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   • Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   • Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   • If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
   • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   • Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   • Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   • Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   • Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use? Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   • Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   • Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
   • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   • Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
   • When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
   • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6. SERVICE
   • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• 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 control.
• When not in use, place the tool on its side on a stable surface where it will not cause a tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large battery packs will stand upright but may be easily knocked over.
• Keep hands away from the cutting area. Never reach underneath the material for any reason. Hold the front of the saw by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not insert fingers or thumbs into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by gripping the shoe.
• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure.
• Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches and debris ahead of time.

When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are free from water, electrical wiring, etc.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also, use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation is dusty.

ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains 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 and other masonry products, and
• 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.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, and eyes, or lay on the skin may promote the absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH /OSHA-approved respiratory protection appropriate for dust exposure. Direct particles away from the face and body.
WARNING: Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit the daily time of use.

Symbols

The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their definitions are as follows:

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop-in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Always use proper eye protection that conforms to ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3) while operating this power tool.

NOTE: Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.

• Place the blade and shoe lightly against the work to be cut.
• Switch on the saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum speed before applying pressure.
• Always hold the saw firmly with both hands while cutting as shown in Figure D. Whenever possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and will minimize blade breakage.|

TRIGGER LOCK-OFF SWITCH

Release the trigger lock-off by sliding the switch to the unlocked position shown in Figure E. To lock the trigger while the tool is not in use slide the trigger in the opposite direction shown in figure F.

TRIGGER ON/OFF SWITCH

• Pull the trigger switch to turn the motor ON.
• Releasing the trigger turns the motor OFF.
  NOTE: This tool has no provision to lock the switch in the ON position, and should never be locked in the ON position by any other means.

BLADE CLAMP COLLAR

WARNING: Cut hazard. Turn off and remove the battery from the tool before making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories.
WARNING: Cut hazard. Blade breakage may occur if the blade does not extend past the shoe and the workpiece during the cut. Increased risk of personal injury, as well as damage to the shoe and workpiece, may result.

To install blade into saw:

1. Twist open the blade clamp collar to its full open position as shown in figure G.

2. Insert blade shank fully into blade clamp collar.

3. Release the blade clamp collar. Gently tug on the blade to ensure the blade is clamped securely.
   NOTE: Blade can be installed upside-down to assist in flush-to-cutting.

To remove the blade from the saw:

WARNING: Burn hazard. Do not touch the blade immediately after use. Contact with the blade may result in personal injury.

1. Twist open the blade clamp collar to its fully open position.
2. Remove blade. FLUSH CUTTING- FIGURE H

• The compact design of the reciprocating saw motor housing and pivoting shoe permit close cutting to floors, corners and other difficult areas.

• To maximize flush cutting capabilities, insert the blade shaft into the blade clamp with the teeth of the blade facing up.

• Turn the saw upside down so you are as close to the work surface as possible. WOOD CUTTING- FIGURE I

• Before cutting any type of wood, be sure the workpiece is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.

• Place the blade and shoe firmly against the work to be cut.

• Switch on the saw motor before starting the cut.

• Always hold the saw firmly with both hands while cutting. Whenever possible, the shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage.

METAL CUTTING- FIGURE J

Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for non-ferrous materials.

• In thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood to the underside of the sheet. This will ensure a clean cut without excess vibration or tearing of metal.
• Avoid forcing cutting blades as this reduces blade life and causes costly blade breakage.

NOTE: You should spread a thin film of oil or another coolant along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred.

• POCKET CUTTING – WOOD ONLY- FIGURE K
  

• Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil, chalk or scriber.

• Insert blade in blade clamp and tighten blade clamp securely.

• Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the shoe is firmly on the work surface.

• Switch the motor on, permitting the blade to attain maximum speed.

• Grip the handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward swing with the handle of the saw.

• The blade will begin to feed into the material. Always be sure the blade is completely through the material before continuing with the pocket cut.
  NOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge of the shoe as a guide.

PROJECT TIPS

• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, and faster, and put less strain on the motor while cutting.
• When cutting, always ensure that the shoe is resting against the workpiece. This will improve operator control and minimize vibration.
• For longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These utilize carbon steel back welded to high-speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Remove the battery from the saw when performing any cleaning or other maintenance. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool in a liquid.
• When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, drywall, etc., they are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and grindings and drywall dust are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutator, etc. During any use of fiberglass or drywall, it is extremely important that the tool be cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.

LUBRICATION

Your tool was properly lubricated before leaving the factory. Once every year take or send your tool to a PORTER-CABLE service center, or authorized service station, for a complete cleaning, inspection, and lubrication. Tools “out of service” for long periods should be relubricated before being put back to work.
