6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re-
pair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the man-
ufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety instructions for reciprocating
saws
• When performing work during which the tool at-
tachment can meet with concealed power lines
or its own connection cable, hold the power tool
by the insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with
a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool live and could give the operator an elec-
tric shock.
• Fasten and secure the workpiece to a stable
base using clamps or other means. If the work-
piece is held only by hand or against the body, it re-
mains unstable, which may result in a loss of con-
trol.
Further safety instructions for jigsaws
• Keep hands away from all moving parts Never
place your hands near the cutting area.
• Make sure that the base plate rests securely when
sawing. A tilted saw blade can break or cause kick-
back.
• Never switch on the product when the saw blade is
jammed in the workpiece or is touching the material.
• Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.
• Do not brake the insert tool after switching off by
applying counter-pressure from the side. The insert
tool can be damaged, break or cause a kickback.
• Avoid touching the insert tool or the workpiece im-
mediately after processing because they may still
be very hot and can cause skin burns.
• Check the material to be processed for foreign ob-
jects such as nails, screws etc. and remove them.
• Do not cut oversized workpieces.
• Before processing the workpiece, ensure that there
is enough space behind the workpiece so that the
insert tool does not hit the base, workbench, etc.
• Do not leave the product unattended.
• Do not let the product idle unnecessarily.
• Wait until the electrical tool has come to a
standstill before setting it down. The tool attach-
ment can get caught and this can lead to loss of
control over the electric tool.
• Secure the workpiece. Use clamping devices/
bench vice to hold the workpiece in place. In this
manner, it is held more securely than with your
hand.
• Apply particular caution when sawing in exist-
ing walls or other areas that are not visible. The
plunging saw blade can jam in concealed objects
during sawing and result in kickback.
Residual risks
The product has been built according to state-of-
the-art and the recognised technical safety rules.
However, individual residual risks can arise during
operation.
• Damage to hearing if the stipulated hearing protec-
tion is not worn.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety In-
structions" and the "Intended Use" together with the
operating manual as a whole are observed.
• Use the product in the way that is recommended in
this operating manual. This is how to ensure that
your product provides optimum performance.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
WARNING
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or pas-
sive medical implants under certain circumstances. In
order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries,
we recommend that persons with medical implants
consult with their physician and the manufacturer of
the medical implant prior to operating the power tool.
WARNING
In case of extended working periods, the operating
personnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their
hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that caus-
es the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to
cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer
supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear
extremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating prod-
ucts can cause nerve damage in people whose circu-
lation is impaired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).
If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working
immediately and seek medical advice.
ATTENTION
The product is part of the 20V gomag series and may
only be operated with batteries of this series. Batter-
ies may only be charged with battery chargers of this
series. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
