General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

! WARNING and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

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.

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.

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 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 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. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, 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 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. Use of dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.

Power tool use and care

If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduce the risk of electric shock.

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.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

SM 2610013775 09-10:SM 2610013775 09-10 9/7/10 10:38 AM Page 3

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.

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.

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.

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.

Safety Rules for Reciprocating Saws

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting tool contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

reciprocating blade holder can pinch your fingers.

Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blade can break easily or cause kickback. Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and allow the blade to come to full speed. Tool can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too slow at beginning of cut and possibly kickback.

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.

Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.

Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

Secure material before cutting. Never hold it in your hand or across legs. Small or thin material may flex or vibrate with the blade, causing loss of control.

Never leave the trigger locked "ON".

Before plugging the tool in, check that the trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups could cause injury.

Make certain all adjusting screws and the blade holder are tight before making a cut. Loose adjusting screws and holders can cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of control may result.

Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut.

The proximity of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.

When removing the blade from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the blade or accessory. Accessories may be hot after prolonged use.

Keep hands from between the gear housing and saw blade holder. The

Additional Safety Warnings

GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.

Some dust created by power

! WARNING sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.

Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted.

Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

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.

Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only be serviced by a Skil Factory Service Center or

Authorized Skil Service Station.

VARIABLE SPEED DIAL Your tool is equipped with a variable speed dial. The blade stroke rate may be adjusted during cutting operation by presetting the dial on or between any one of the six numbers

SPM rating (strokes per minute)

Higher speed settings are generally used for fast cutting or when softer cutting materials such as wood, composite materials, and plastics. Slower speed settings are generally used when precision is required or when cutting harder materials. Materials typically cut using slower speeds include sheet metal, conduit, and pipe.

FOOTPLATE ADJUSTMENT The footplate tilts in order to keep as much of its surface in contact with the work surface

(Fig. 6). To adjust, hold saw firmly and pivot footplate to desired position. The footplate can also be locked at desired depths to optimize blade life and/or to limit blade protrusion beyond the end of the

footplate when cutting into large diameter pipe or into walls.

To adjust the footplate position depth, simply loosen the two screws in insulated rubber boot with wrench provided, slide and move the footplate to the desired position and securely tighten the screw with the wrench provided (Fig. 7).

ADJUSTABLE FOOTPLATE Using the Saw

1. Securely clamp the work.

Always hold the saw by the

housing. If you saw into a blind area where live wiring exists, you may be shocked or electrocuted.

SM 2610013775 09-10:SM 2610013775 09-10 9/7/10 10:38 AM Page 10

3. Keep the saw footplate firmly against the work to minimize counter-force (jumping) and vibration.

4. Squeeze the trigger to start the tool. Let the saw reach full speed before starting the cut. Guide the saw so that the blade will move along the marked line. SAWING TIPS Following a few simple tips will reduce the wear on the workpiece, the tool and the operator.

5. When cutting metal:

- Apply a lubricant for easier, smoother, faster cutting and longer blade life.

1. Blades cut on the draw or back stroke. On fine work, such as paneling, fiberglass, etc., place the good side of workpiece facing down.

- For non-ferrous metals, aluminum, bronze or brass, use a stick wax on the blade.

2. Use the correct saw blade for the material being cut and keep extra blades on hand to use when others become dull. Replace cracked or bent blades immediately.

3. Select the footplate projection settings, as well as the appropriate cutting speed. 4. To reduce the risk of injury, be sure the blade always extends beyond the footplate and work throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if the front on the blade hits the work and/or the footplate.

- For ferrous metals, iron and steel, use machine or cutting oil along the surface to be cut.

6. When cutting thin metal, "sandwich" the material between two pieces of scrap wood. Clamp or put in a bench vise. One piece of lumber on top of the metal can be used with adequate clamping. Place your cut lines or design on the wood. 7. Don’t force the cutting. Let the saw and blade do the work.

POCKET/PLUNGE CUTS The reciprocating saw can be used to make plunge cuts into softer material, (for example, wood or light building materials for walls), without a starting hole (Fig. 8).

1. Mark the line to be cut clearly on the work. 2. Set the tool with one edge of the footplate firmly against the material. 3. Place the tip of the blade (not running) on the line to be cut. 4. Tilt the saw so that the blade clears the work. 5. Squeeze the trigger switch and carefully engage the moving saw blade into the material. 6. After the blade penetrates through the work, continue sawing along the marked outline.

SM 2610013775 09-10:SM 2610013775 09-10 9/7/10 10:38 AM Page 11

To make plunge cutting easier, use a heavy gauge blade, install the blade with the teeth facing upward, and hold the saw upside down as shown (Fig. 9).

Do not plunge cut in metal surfaces.

In thick materials and in harder materials, such as metal, plunge cutting should not be attempted. Such materials can be cut with the recip saw only by starting the cut from the edge of the material or from a hole drilled all the way through the material that is large enough to fit the saw blade. The use of any accessories
