Distractions can cause you to lose  
control.  
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.  
2. Electrical safety  
a.Power tool plugs must match the  
outlet. Never modify the plug in  
any way. Do not use any adapter  
plugs with grounded power tools.  
Unmodified plugs and matching  
outlets will reduce risk of electric  
shock.  
b.Use safety equipment. Always  
wear ANSI-approved eye  
protection. Safety equipment such  
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,  
hard hat, or hearing protection used  
for appropriate conditions will reduce  
personal injuries.  
b.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.  
c.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.  
c.Do not expose power tools to rain  
or wet conditions. Water entering  
a power tool will increase the risk of  
electric shock.  
d.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.  
d.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.  
e.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.  
e.Do not overreach. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.  
This enables better control of the  
power tool in unexpected situations.  
f. If operating a power tool in a damp  
location is unavoidable, use a  
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter  
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of  
a GFCI reduces the risk of electric  
shock.  
f. 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.  
g.If devices are provided for the  
connection of dust extraction and  
collection facilities, ensure these  
are connected and properly used.  
3. Personal safety  
a.Stay alert, watch what you are  
doing and use common sense  
when operating a power tool. Do

Use of these devices can reduce  
dust-related hazards.  
g.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.  
4. Power tool use and care  
a.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.  
5. Service  
b.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.  
a.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.  
c.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.  
Reciprocating Saw Safety  
Warnings  
1. Hold power tool by insulated  
gripping surfaces when performing  
an operation where cutting tool  
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.  
d.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.  
2. Use clamps or another practical  
way to secure and support the  
work piece to a stable platform.  
Holding the work by hand or against  
your body leaves it unstable and may  
lead to loss of control.  
e.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.  
3. Maintain labels and nameplates on  
the tool. These carry important safety  
information. If unreadable or missing,  
contact Harbor Freight Tools for a  
replacement.  
4. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare  
to begin work before turning on the  
tool.  
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and  
clean. Properly maintained cutting  
tools with sharp cutting edges are  
less likely to bind and are easier to  
control.  
5. Do not 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.  
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.)  
6. When using a handheld power tool,  
maintain a firm grip on the tool with  
both hands to resist starting torque.  
7. Do not leave the tool unattended  
when it is plugged into an electrical  
outlet. Turn off the tool, and unplug  
it from its electrical outlet before  
leaving.  
11. WARNING: Handling the cord on  
this product will 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.  
(California Health & Safety Code §  
25249.5, et seq.)  
8. This product is not a toy. Keep it out  
of reach of children.  
9. People with pacemakers should  
consult their physician(s) before  
use. Electromagnetic fields in close  
proximity to heart pacemaker could  
cause pacemaker interference or  
pacemaker failure. In addition,  
people with pacemakers should:  
• Avoid operating alone.  
12. The warnings, precautions,  
and instructions discussed in  
this instruction manual cannot  
cover all possible conditions and  
situations that may occur. It must  
be understood by the operator that  
common sense and caution are  
factors which cannot be built into this  
product, but must be supplied by the  
operator.  
• Do not use with power switch locked  
on.  
• Properly maintain and inspect to  
avoid electrical shock.  
• Any power cord must be properly  
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit  
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be  
implemented – it prevents sustained  
electrical shock.  
Vibration Safety  
This tool vibrates during use.  
Repeated or long-term exposure to  
vibration may cause temporary or  
permanent physical injury, particularly  
to the hands, arms and shoulders. To  
reduce the risk of vibration-related  
injury:  
10. 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:  
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly  
or for an extended period should  
first be examined by a doctor and  
then have regular medical check-  
ups to ensure medical problems are  
• Lead from lead-based paints  
• Crystalline silica from bricks and  
cement or other masonry products  
• Arsenic and chromium from  
chemically treated lumber

not being caused or worsened from  
use. Pregnant women or people  
who have impaired blood circulation  
to the hand, past hand injuries,  
nervous system disorders, diabetes,  
or Raynaud’s Disease should not  
use this tool. If you feel any medical  
or physical symptoms related to  
vibration (such as tingling, numbness,  
and white or blue fingers), seek  
medical advice as soon as possible.  
GROUNDING  
TO PREVENT  
ELECTRIC SHOCK  
AND DEATH FROM  
INCORRECT GROUNDING  
WIRE CONNECTION:  
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.  
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine  
reduces the blood supply to the  
hands and fingers, increasing the risk  
of vibration-related injury.  
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the  
vibration effects on the user.  
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration  
when there is a choice between  
different processes.  
5. Include vibration-free periods each  
day of work.  
NOTE: THIS IS A DOUBLE  
INSULATED TOOL.  
INFORMATION ON  
GROUNDED TOOLS IS FOR  
REFERENCE ONLY.  
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while  
still keeping safe control of it). Let  
the tool do the work.  
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool  
as explained in this manual. If any  
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use  
immediately.  
Grounded Tools: Tools with Three  
Prong Plugs  
SAVE THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS.  
1. Tools marked with “Grounding  
Required” have a three wire cord  
SKU 97580  
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

requirements and complies with the  
applicable standards of Underwriters  
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian  
Standard Association, and the  
National Electrical Code. (See  
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)  
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 electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug  
and Outlet.)  
2. Double insulated tools may be used  
in either of the 120 volt outlets shown  
in the preceding illustration. (See  
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)  
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  
3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)  
Extension Cords  
1. 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.  
3. The 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  
preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong  
Plug and Outlet.)  
(See Table A.) 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 Table A.)  
Double Insulated Tools: Tools  
with Two Prong Plugs  
3. 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 Table A.)  
4. 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 Table A.)  
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated”  
do not require grounding. They  
have a special double insulation  
system which satisfies OSHA  
5. If you are using an extension cord  
outdoors, make sure it is marked with  
SKU 97580

the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to  
indicate it is OK for outdoor use.  
6. Make sure the 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.  
7. Protect the extension cords from  
sharp objects, excessive heat, and  
damp or wet areas.

abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal  
activity, improper installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We  
shall in no event be liable for death, injuries to persons or property, or for incidental,

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
