Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate condi- tions
will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel- lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these
are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Appliance-specific safety instructions for reciprocating saws
To avoid the risk of injury or fire as well as health risks:
■
■
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can- not be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired .
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.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children. 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.
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 acci- dents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
Use and handling of the cordless electrical power tool
Charge a rechargeable battery unit using only the charger recommended by the man- ufacturer.
Chargers are often designed for a particular type of rechargeable battery unit . There is the danger
of fire if other types of rechargeable battery units are used.
Only the rechargeable battery units supplied are to be used with an electrical power tool. The use
of other rechargeable battery units may lead to the danger of injury or fire.
When they are not being used, store recharge- able battery units away from paperclips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause the contacts to be bridged.
Short-circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery unit may result in heat damage or fire .
Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery units if they are misused. If this happens, avoid contact
with the fluid. If contact occurs, flush the affected area with water. Seek additional medical help if
any of the fluid gets into your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns .
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace- ment parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when carrying out work during which the
power tool may contact hidden power cables. Contact with a live wire may electrify exposed metal
parts of the power tool and could give the operator an electric shock .
Wear a dust mask!
