Inspect the reciprocating saw, the on/off switch, and the cord for damage before
each use. Check for damaged, missing, or worn parts. Check for loose screws,
misalignment or binding of moving parts, or any other condition
that may affect
the operation of the reciprocating saw. If abnormal vibration or noise occurs,
turn the reciprocating saw off immediately and have the problem corrected
before further use.
Using compressed air may be the most effective cleaning method. Always wear
safety goggles when cleaning tools using compressed air.
