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.
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 for
Reciprocating Sabre Saws
ALWAYS wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can
•
cause breathing difficulty and possible injury.
• Never switch on the tool when the saw blade is jammed in
the workpiece or in contact with the material.
Keep hands away from moving parts. Never place your
•
hands near the cutting area.
Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay
•
particular attention to overhead wires which may be
hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches
and debris ahead of time.
Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.
•
Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may
cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use
gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and
limit daily time of use.
Switching On and Off
• After switching off, never attempt to stop the saw blade with
your fingers.
• Never put the saw down on a table or work bench unless
switched off. The saw blade will keep running briefly after the
tool has been switched off.
When Sawing
• When using saw blades specially designed for cutting wood
remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before
starting work.
• Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to fasten the
workpiece securely.
• Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.
• Do not bend too far forward. Make sure that you always stand
firmly, particularly on scaffolding and ladders.
• Always hold the saw with both hands.
• For cutting curves and pockets, use an adapted saw blade.

Checking and Changing the Saw Blade
• Only use saw blades conforming to the specifications
contained in these operating instructions.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working condition should
be used; cracked or bent saw blades should be discarded and
replaced at once.
• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed.
Residual Risks

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
