4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power 

tool for your application.

 The correct power tool will 

do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was 

designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn 

it on and off.

 Any power tool that cannot be controlled 

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or 

the battery pack from the power tool before making 

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing 

power tools.

 Such preventive safety measures reduce 

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

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. Check for misalignment or 

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any 

other condition that may affect the power tool’s 

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) This appliance 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.

i) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do 

not play with the appliance.

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 safety rules for reciprocating saws

   

Always remove the plug from the mains socket before 

making any adjustments or maintenance, including 

changing the blade.

   

When operating the saw, use safety equipment including 

safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and 

protective clothing including safety gloves.

   

Ensure that the lighting is adequate.

   

Keep the area free of tripping hazards.

   

Do not let anyone under the age of 18 years operate  

this saw.

   

Always stand to one side when operating the saw.

   

Never use a cracked or distorted saw blade.  

Only use sharp blades.

   

When cutting round wood, use clamps that prevent  

the work piece from turning on both sides of the blade.

   

Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste 

close by the blade.

   

Use only blades as recommended.

   

Rags, cloths, cord and string and the like should never be 

left around the work area.

   

Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove all 

nails and other foreign objects before beginning sawing.

   

Support the work properly.

   

Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.

   

Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first 

switching off the machine.

   

Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood.  

Let the blade come to rest naturally.
