d. 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.
e. 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 tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. 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.
h. 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.
5. Service
a. 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.
Additional power tool safety warnings
● Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a "live" wire will also 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.
● Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach
underneath the work piece any reason. Do not insert
fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade
and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by gripping
the shoe.
● Keep blades sharp. Dull or damaged blades may cause
the saw to swerve or stall under pressure. Always use the
appropriate type of saw blade for the workpiece material
and type of cut.
● When cutting pipe or conduit, make sure that they are free
from water, electrical wiring, etc.
● Do not touch the workpiece or the blade immediately after
operating the tool. They can become very hot.
(original instructions)
● Be aware of hidden hazards, before cutting into walls,
floors or ceilings, check for the location of wiring
and pipes.
● The blade will continue to move after releasing the switch.
Always switch the tool off and wait for the saw blade to
@
come to a complete standstill before putting the tool down.
Warning! Contact with, or inhalation of dusts arising
from cutting applications may endanger the health of
the operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust
mask specifically designed for protection against dust
and fumes and ensure that persons within or entering
the work area are also protected.
● The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than those
recommended in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personal injury and/or damage to property.
Safety of others
● This tool is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Residual risks
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool which
may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings. These
risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
● Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
● Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades
or accessories.
● Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When
using any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take
regular breaks.
● Impairment of hearing.
● Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when
using your tool (example:- working with wood, especially
oak, beech and MDF.)
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured in
accordance with a standard test method provided by EN62841
and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The
declared vibration emission value may also be used in a
@
preliminary assessment of exposure.
Warning! The vibration emission value during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used. The vibration level may increase above the
level stated.
