To prevent the workpiece from vibrating, clamp the workpiece firmly and
cut it close to the clamping point. When cutting pipes or angle brackets,
clamp the workpiece in a vice if possible and cut it near the clamping
point. For cutting thin sheet material, clamp the material between a hard-
board or a plywood on both sides to avoid vibrations and prevent cracking
of the material. Always exert a firm pressure on the shoe.
10. Cleaning and Care
Avoid the use of solvents for cleaning plastic parts. Many plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and
may be damaged by their use. Always use clean cloths for cleaning to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. Never immerse the device in water!
Caution! Do not allow petrol, brake fluids, aggressive oils etc. to come
in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic parts, which can lead to serious injuries
11. Lubricating
All bearings of this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-
grade lubricant for the entire life of the device under normal operating
conditions. Hence, no further lubrication is required.
12. Condition of the sawblades
Check the sawblade regularly for wear and tear, bends or damages. If
you detect any such thing, you should not use the device further in this
condition. Use a new sawblade in this case.
13. Storage
Before storing the reciprocating saw, make sure the unit has been
cleaned. Store the device in a dry, well-ventilated place out of reach of
children. Keep the device away from corrosive substances such as gar-
den chemicals and salts.
Store the charged battery separately in a cool room. The life of the bat-
tery can be significantly reduced if the surrounding is too cold or too hot.
