Safety Instructions For Power Tools  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.  
Keep tools sharp and clean for  
best and safest performance.  
Follow instructions for lubricating  
and changing accessories.  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD  
for the tool. Make sure your exten-  
sion cord is in good condition.  
Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The  
amperage rating should be listed  
on the motor or tool nameplate. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop  
in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. Your exten-  
sion cord must also contain a ground  
wire and plug pin. Always repair  
or replace extension cords if they  
become damaged.  
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser-  
vicing and changing accessories,  
such as blades, bits, cutters, and  
the like.  
16. REDUCE  
THE  
RISK  
OF  
UNINTENTIONAL STARTING.  
Make sure switch is in off position  
before plugging in.  
17. USE  
RECOMMENDED  
ACCESSORIES. Consult the  
owner’s manual for recommended  
accessories. The use of improper  
accessories may cause risk of  
injury.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.  
Before further use of the tool, a  
guard or other part that is dam-  
aged should be carefully checked  
to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended  
function. Check for alignment of  
moving parts, binding of moving  
parts, breakage of parts, mount-  
ing, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or  
other part that is damaged should  
be properly repaired or replaced.

10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not  
wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-  
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jew-  
elry which may get caught in moving  
parts. Non-slip footwear is recom-  
mended. Wear protective hair cover-  
ing to contain long hair.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.  
Also use face or dust mask if cut-  
ting operation is dusty. Everyday  
eyeglasses only have impact resis-  
tant lenses, they are NOT safety  
glasses.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a  
vise to hold work when practical. It’s  
safer than using your hand and frees  
both hands to operate tool.  
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.

OPERATION  
Any time the saw is plugged into  
a power source, the reciprocating  
blade will activate when the trig-  
ger is depressed. Before making  
any adjustments or when changing  
blades, always remove the plug from  
the power source first. Failure to  
observe this will lead to serious per-  
sonal injury.  
Inserting and Removing Saw  
Blades:  
Fig 1. Always use correct shank profile.  
1. Make sure saw is unplugged from  
power source.  
2. Use the 3mm Allen® Wrench supplied  
to loosen the setscrew located in the  
slot on the left hand side of the saw  
(see Figure 3 for location of controls).  
While it is not required to remove the  
screw, it does need to be turned three  
or four times to allow blades to be  
exchanged. Please note the locating  
pin under the jaw clamp. (Figure 2).  
3. Remove the blade and replace with  
blade that has appropriate shank pro-  
file (see Figure 1). Make sure the  
blade has the correct tooth count per  
inch for the job to be done.  
Blade Locating  
Pin  
Fig 2. Blade Clamp Assembly.  
4. Tighten the screw while ensuring the  
locating pin remains in the hole pro-  
vided for it in the blade.  
Continuous Run Mode:  
The trigger switch can be locked by press-  
ing the button on the side of the handle.  
Squeeze the trigger switch until it has  
reached the required position and depress  
the lock on the knob. This will make the  
tool run continuously. Press the trigger  
switch to disengage the lock (see Figure  
3).  
Always check to see if the blade is  
secure after the setscrew is tight.  
Grasp the back side of the blade (the  
side without teeth) and gently try to  
move it side to side and back and  
forth. If the blade is found to be loose,  
remove the screw and reposition the  
blade.

OPERATION, CONT’D  
Choosing the Right Blade:  
Stroke Length and Material  
Thickness:  
The rule of thumb for choosing a blade for  
a given application is that the harder and/  
or thinner the material, the more teeth per  
inch are required. A list of TPI and materi-  
als to be cut follows.  
The length of stroke for the H0799  
Reciprocating Saw is 1316". When mate-  
rial thickness exceeds 1316" the blade is  
unable to evacuate the chips being pro-  
duced. Therefore, when cutting materials  
that are thicker than 1316" it may be nec-  
essary to "clear the blade" occasionally.  
Simply let go of the trigger and allow the  
blade to come to a complete stop. Extract  
the blade from the cut and the chips  
should fall away. Insert the blade into the  
cut and continue cutting.

Choosing the Blade Speed:  
Blade speed is controlled by the thumb  
wheel on top of the saw, above the trigger  
(see Figure 3). The higher the number  
on the thumbwheel, the faster the saw  
reciprocates.  
Never extract or insert the blade into  
workpiece with the blade in motion.  
Serious personal injury will occur.  
Blade Speed  
Thumbwheel  
Using the right blade and speed will allow  
faster cutting operation, longer blade life  
and will prolong the life of the saw. This  
will require practice on the part of the  
operator. If blade seems to dull quickly,  
replace and use slower blade speed. If  
cutting wood, most species allow faster  
speeds.  
On/Off  
Setscrew  
NOTE: When cutting metal, a suitable  
coolant must be used (cutting oil); other-  
wise it will cause unnecessary wear on  
the blade.

Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can  
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equip-  
ment. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of  
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

OPERATINGTIPSAND  
Maintenance  
Operating Guides and Tips  
Avoid overloading the saw. Always use  
sharp blades. Do not apply exces-  
sive pressure to the saw while using.  
If the speed drops abnormally,  
decrease pressure immediately. If  
the blade stops abruptly or becomes  
locked, release the trigger at once.  
Extract the blade and determine what  
occured to cause this and rectifiy.  
Your H0799 Reciprocating saw will give  
you hundreds of hours of operation time  
before ever needing service. The elec-  
trical components of this saw are not  
user serviceable. Repair should always be  
undertaken by a qualified electrical repair  
technician.  
Keep the saw free from dirt and grease.  
Before cleaning or carrying out mainte-  
nance operations, always disconnect the  
tool. Never use water or other liquids to  
clean electrical components of the tool.  
Remember that regular maintenance will  
prevent unnecessary problems.  
Ensure the safety of the workplace.  
Ensure the saw blade will not pass  
through bench or saw horse that  
workpiece may be on. Securely fix  
smaller objects to be cut in a vise  
or otherwise clamp to avoid injury.  
Do not attempt to hold workpiece  
by hand.  
Keep the bottom plate clean to avoid inac-  
curate cuts.  
Avoid blade pinch. Saw blades may  
become pinched while cutting a work-  
piece that is improperly supported,  
very thick workpieces or when sev-  
eral workpieces are loosely stacked.  
Know how to avoid these situations  
to minimize risk of damage to the  
saw, saw blade or personal injury.  
Keep the exterior of the tool clean to make  
sure all moving parts move accurately and  
without wear.  
Keep the ventilating slots of the motor  
clean to prevent the motor from overheat-  
ing.  
Inspect the saw before use. Run the saw  
before using to ensure all parts are  
running smoothly and there are no  
abnormal sounds or sparks. If any  
defect is found, have unit serviced.  
Disassembly and improper reassem-  
bly of this device can result in elec-  
trical shock danger. Always have  
this device serviced by an qualified  
electrical repair technician. Serious  
injury will result.  
Know your worksite. Only cut as deep  
as necessary. Be extremely careful  
when cutting behind walls for wires,  
other electrical hazards, gas lines,  
or plumbing.  
Use accessories properly. Use the right  
blade for the job. Be aware of blade  
TPI necessary for the type and thick-  
ness of the material. Use the appro-  
priate blade speed- when in doubt  
slow the blade speed.
