a residual current device with a residual
current rating of 30mA or less.
Residual Risks
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 flying particles.
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer.
A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b)
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c)
When battery pack is not in use, keep it
away from other metal objects like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d)
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE

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 Instructions for
Reciprocating Saws
•
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• 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.
