5. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia-
tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
ter control of the power tool in unexpected sit-
uations.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
15. If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
7. 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.
Power tool use and care
16. Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
8. When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for out-
door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces the risk of electric shock.
17. 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.
Personal safety
9. 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.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate con-
ditions will reduce personal injuries.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before plug-
ging in. Carrying power tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tools operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
12. 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.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables bet-
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
3
ting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool
Service
23. Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
- WARNING- To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL
GEB008-1
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to recipro saw safety
rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer
serious personal injury.
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
7. Hold the tool firmly.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
9. Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.
2. 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.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing
the blade from the workpiece.
12. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnec-
essarily.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for
any nails and remove them before opera-
tion.
14. Always use the correct dust mask/respira-
tor for the material and application you
are working with.
5. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
15. Some material contains chemicals which
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust
inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate-
rial supplier safety data.
6. Check for the proper clearance beyond
the workpiece before cutting so that the
blade will not strike the floor, workbench,
etc.

DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
005784
Adjusting the shoe
When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place along
its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a sharp, unused
portion of its cutting edge. This will help to lengthen the life of
the blade. To reposition the shoe, push the shoe button in the
“A” direction with a click and reposition as shown in the figure
which allows you to make five-way adjustment. To secure the
shoe, push the shoe button in the “B” direction with a click.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
•
Always press the shoe firmly against the workpiece
during operation. If the shoe is held away from the
workpiece during operation, strong vibration and/or
twisting will be produced, causing the blade to snap
dangerously.
•
•
•
Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot flying
chips when cutting metal.
Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection which
conforms with current national standards.
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause premature blade wear.
005790
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not allow the
tool to bounce. Bring the blade into light contact with the
workpiece. First, make a pilot groove using a slower speed.
Then use a faster speed to continue cutting.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.

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.
