SAFETY NOTES FOR RECIPROCATING
SAWS
Please note the safety notes to
avoid malfunctions, damage or
physical injury:
a. Hold 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.
b. Keep hands away from the sawing range.
Do not reach under the workpiece.
Contactwith the saw blade can lead to
injuries.
c. Apply the machine to the workpiece only
when switched on. Otherwise there is
dangerof kickback when the cutting tool
jams inthe workpiece.
d. When sawing, the adjustable footplate must
always faces against the workpiece. The
saw blade can become wedged and lead to
loss of control over the machine.
e. When the cut is completed, switch off the
machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill.
In this manner you can avoid kickback and
can place down the machine securely.
f. Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent
or unsharp saw blades can break or cause
kickback.
g. Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by
applying side pressure after switching off.
The saw blade can be damaged, break or
cause kickback.
h. Clamp material well. Do not support the
workpiece with your hand or foot. Do not
touch objects or the floor with the the saw
running. Danger of kickback.
i. Use suitable detectors to determine if
utilitylines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line
can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water
line causes property damage or may cause
an electric shock.
j. When working with the machine, always
hold it firmly with both hands and provide
for a secure stance. The power tool is
guided more secure with both hands.
k. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a vice
is held more secure than by hand.
l. Keep your workplace clean. Blends of
materials are particularly dangerous. Dust
from light alloys can burn or explode.
m. Always wait until the machine has come to
a complete stop before placing it down. The
tool insert can jam and lead to loss of
control over the power tool.
n. Never use the machine with a damaged
cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is
damaged while working. Damaged cables
increase the risk of an electric shock.
