Safety Instructions For Reciprocating Saws; Additional Safety Instructions - Hilti WSJ 750 Manual Del Usuario

Power tool use and care
▶ 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
▶ 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.
▶ Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ 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.
▶ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
▶ 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.

Safety instructions for reciprocating saws

▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
▶ Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Additional safety instructions

Personal safety
▶ Modification of the power tool is not permitted.
▶ Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces only, when carrying out work in which the
accessory tool can come into contact with concealed wiring or with the power tool's own supply
cord. Metal parts of the power tool can also become live, resulting in electric shock, if contact is made
with a live cable.
▶ Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
▶ Use light respiratory protection if the work causes dust.
▶ Improve the blood circulation in your fingers by relaxing your hands and exercising your fingers
during breaks between working.
▶ The power tool is not intended for use by inexperienced persons who have received no special
training.
▶ Keep the power tool out of reach of children.
▶ When working, always guide the supply cord and the extension cable to the rear and away from
the power tool. This reduces the risk of tripping over cables while work is in progress.
▶ Wear protective gloves. The orbital-action jig saw can get hot during operation. There is a risk of injury
(cutting or burning) if the accessory tool is touched while changing it.
▶ Dust from materials such as paint containing lead, some types of wood, minerals and metal can be
harmful to health. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
diseases among operators or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust such as oak and beech wood dust
are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate,
wood preservative). Use a dust removal system that is as effective as possible. Use a mobile
vacuum extractor of the type recommended by Hilti for wood dust and/or mineral dust and which
