HEALTH ADVICE

WARNING: When using this machine, dust
particles may be produced. In some instances,
depending on the materials you are working with,
this dust can be particularly harmful.
If you suspect that paint on the surface of material
you wish to cut contains lead, seek professional
advice. Lead based paints should only be removed
by a professional and you should not attempt
to remove it yourself. Once the dust has been
deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can
result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and
nervous system damage. The young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
You are advised to consider the risks
associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure.
As some materials can produce dust that may
be hazardous to your health, we recommend
the use of an approved face mask with
replaceable filters when using this machine.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment,
such as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
WARNING: The operation of any power tool
can result in foreign objects being thrown
towards your eyes, which could result in
severe eye damage. Before beginning power
tool operation, always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shield or a full face
shield where necessary.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Always disconnect the
reciprocating saw from the mains supply
before changing blades, servicing, cleaning
or adjusting the reciprocating saw.
• Keep your hands away from the cutting
area and the cutting blade. Hold the
machine by gripping the insulated hand -
hold areas with both hands. If both hands
are holding the machine, they cannot come
into contact with the blade.
• Do not use dull or damaged blades. Dull or
damaged blades can break easily and are
prone to 'jamming' which can cause 'kickback' .
• Always check that the blade is correctly
installed within the machines blade holder.
Wear protective gloves when handling a
blade and conduct a 'tug test' when a new
blade is installed to ensure the blade has been
successfully 'captured' by the blade holder.
• Do not use excessive force. Excessive force
overloads the motor and reduces working
efficiency and service life.
• Always wear the relevant PPE (Personal
Protective Equipment) for the job at hand.
This could typically include safety glasses or
eye shields, dust masks, protective clothing
and safety shoes, ear defenders and safety
helmet, etc.
• The operator should always be aware of
the routing of the mains power cable. The
cable should be routed in such a way that
it cannot become a trip or other type of
hazard and cannot come into contact with
the machines blade.
• Always check walls, floors and ceilings for
hidden power cables, water and/or gas
pipes or other services. Striking hidden
services could be extremely dangerous to
the operator, and could cause considerable
property damage. Detectors that can
determine the position of hidden utilities
within or behind a wall, etc, are readily
available at most tool retailers.
• Only withdraw the blade from a cut when
the machine has been switched 'off' , and
the blade has come to a complete stop.
Withdrawing a moving blade from a cut
could lead to the moving blade striking
a nearby surface causing the operator to
experience severe 'kickback' .
• If possible, ensure that any work-piece
is firmly clamped to prevent movement
during the cutting operation.
• Never try to stop the cutting blade by
applying sideways pressure to the blade.
Allow the blade come to a halt by turning
the machine 'Off' , allowing the motor to
slow and stop normally.
• Always check that the mains supply voltage
is the same as the indicated supply voltage
shown on the machines rating plate. Using
this machine with a supply voltage that is
different from that shown on the machines
rating plate could damage the machine and
could potentially cause the machine to be
electrically unsafe.
