ACCESSORIES
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.
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.
If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry
the amount of current necessary for your power tool.If not, your tool may experi-
ence a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord (see table on next page).

							WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit.Cluttered work benches and dark work
areas may cause accidents or injury.
Do not operate power tools in explosive areas, such as in the presence of 
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. 
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.Damaged cords may create a fire.
A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack
must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery.A charger
that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with specifically designatedbattery pack.Use of
any other batteries may create risk of fire.

for proper use and maintenance of this tool. If a
NOTE is indicated make sure it is fully understood.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.
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 dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: Handling the power cord on corded products may expose you to
lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

							When 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 termi-
nals together may cause sparks, burns or a fire.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model.Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury
when used on another tool.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.Service or
maintenance by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury. 
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury..
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when per-
forming an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS RECIPROCATING SAW
Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust
mask or respirator for applications which generate dust. 
Secure the material being worked on. Never hold it in your hand or across
your legs. Unstable support can cause loss of control and injury.
6
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-
ing a power tool. Do not use 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.
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. 
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or “OFF” position
before inserting battery pack. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or inserting battery pack into a tool with the power switch “ON”invites
accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”.A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in person-
al injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot-
ing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safe-
ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions..TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps 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.
Do not force 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.
Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”.A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or “OFF” posi-
tion before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

When using the Cordless Reciprocating Saw, always maintain a firm grip on
the tool with both hands.Never put your hands or feet in the cutting area. Do
not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the blade. Keep your hands
well away from the blade. Never reach underneath the tool while the blade is in
motion. Do not use your legs or feet to stabilize the work piece. 
Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and
walls or posts.Should the blade become bound or jammed in the work, it could
result in loss of control and injury. 
Do not run the Cordless Reciprocating Saw while carrying it at your side.A mov-
ing blade could cause serious personal injury.
Disconnect battery pack from tool and place the switch in the locked or
“OFF” position before making any assembly, adjustments, changing acces-
sories, performing any inspection, maintenance or cleaning procedures.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidental-
ly which could cause serious personal injury.
Do not use the Cordless Reciprocating Saw if it has been damaged, left out-
doors in the rain, snow, wet or damp environments, or immersed in liquid.
Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, check that teeth are not engaged in
the material.
Keep the handle of the Cordless Reciprocating Saw dry, clean, and free from
oil and grease.
Be extra careful when cutting in high or hard-to-reach locations.Be on the 
lookout for hidden wires and falling debris.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the Cordless Reciprocating Saw.These
carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Alltrade for a
replacement. 
						

							BATTERY
Before using battery pack, please read carefully all instruc-
tions and cautionarymarkings on battery pack, battery
charger and product using battery.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely
damaged or is completely worn out.The battery pack can
explode. 
Do not carry battery packs in aprons, pockets, or tool boxes, product kit
boxes, drawers, etc. with loose metal objects.Battery pack terminals could
be short circuited causing damage to the battery pack, severe burns or fire.
The battery pack is Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) and is considered to be a toxic
material by the Environmental Protection Agency.Before disposing of dam-
aged or worn out Ni-Cad battery packs, check with your State Environmental
Protection Agency to find out about special restrictions on the disposal of these
battery packs, take them to your local recycling center for proper disposal, or
call 1-800-822-8837.
The battery is not fully charged. Before first use, the battery pack requires 
8-10 hours charge time to be fully charged. Subsequent recharging needs 3-5
hours for the battery to be fully charged. 
Always switch to a fresh battery when tool performance begins to diminish.
Severe heat is most destructive to a battery; the more heat generated, the faster
the battery loses power. A battery that gets too hot can have a shortened life. 
Never over-discharge a battery by using the tool even after tool performance
has decreased.Do not attempt to discharge a tool’s battery by continuing to
pull on the tool trigger. When tool performance begins to diminish, stop the tool
and recharge the battery for optimal performance.
Charge battery pack at ambient temperatures between 50° F – 104° F. 
Store tool and battery pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed
120°F. This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
The battery pack should always be recharged when the Cordless Reciprocating
Saw begins to run slowly. 
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects such as
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 sparks, burns, or fire.
