IMPORTANT: This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities
may be different or reduced, or lack of experi-
ence or knowledge, unless such persons are su-
pervised or trained to operate the product by
a person responsible for their safety. Children
should be supervised to ensure they do not use
the devices as toys.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will
do the job better and more safely at the rate
that it was designed to work at.
Do not use tools if switch does not turn it on
or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.

Is recommendable to use a safety device suit-
able, such a thermal and differential switch
when you are using an electric equipment.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could re-
sult in a risk of injury.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
RECIPROCATING SAWS
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws,
nails and other elements in your workpiece.
Remove them before you start working.
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunc-
tion, turn the tool off immediately.
• Use only accessories with a rated speed that
is at least as high as the highest no-load speed
of the tool.
• Do not work with materials that contain as-
bestos. Asbestos is considered to be carcino-
genic.
• Keep hands away from the cutting area and
the blade. Keep one hand on the barrel grip. If
both hands are holding the saw, they cannot
encounter the blade.
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece
while cutting. The proximity of the blade to
your hand is hidden from your sight.
• Use clamps or other equipment to secure and
support the workpiece. Holding the workpiece
in your hand or against your body may lead to
loss of control. It is important to support the
work properly in order to minimize body expo-
sure, blade binding, or loss of control.
• Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing any operation where the cut-
ting tool may come into contact with live wires.
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility
lines, or call the local utility company for as-
sistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire or electrical shock. Damage to a gas line
can result in an explosion. Penetrating a water
pipe will cause property damage or an electric
shock.
• Do not use a dull or damaged blade. Bent
blades can break easily or cause kickback.
• Ensure that the blade clamp is tight before
making a cut. A loose clamp may cause the tool
or blade to slip, resulting in loss of control.
