Safety information for
reciprocating saws
• Hold the power tool by insu-
lated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may con-
tact hidden wiring. Cutting ac-
cessories contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical
way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Only use accessories recom-
mended by PARKSIDE. Unsuitable
accessories may cause electric shock
or fire.
Further safety instructions for
reciprocating saws
• Keep hands away from the
sawing area. Do not reach under-
neath the workpiece. Upon contact
with the saw blade there is a risk of in-
jury.
• Only when the power tool is
turned on should the sawing
blade be moved against the
workpiece. Otherwise, there is a risk
of kickback if the attachment tools jam
in the workpiece.
• Make sure that the footplate
is secure during sawing. A tilted
saw blade may break or cause a kick-
back.
• After you have finished work,
turn the power tool off and do
not pull the saw blade out of
the cut until it has come to a
standstill. In this way you will avoid
any kickback and can safely put down
the power tool.
• Use only undamaged saw
blades in perfect condition. Bent
or blunt saw blades can break, ad-
versely affect the cut or cause kickback.
• Do not brake the saw blade
after switching the device off
by applying side pressure. The
saw blade may be damaged, break or
cause a kickback.
• Use clamps or another practical
way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Do not touch any objects or the
ground with the saw running.
There is a risk of kickback.
• Hold the power tool tightly
with both hands while working
and ensure a secure footing.
The power tool is guided more securely
with both hands.
• Switch the appliance off im-
mediately if the sawing blade
jams. Force apart the saw cut
and pull the saw blade out
carefully. This can lead to loss of
control over the power tool.
• Use suitable detectors to de-
termine if there are hidden sup-
ply lines or contact the local util-
ity company for assistance. Con-
tact with electric cables can cause fire
and electric shock. Damaging gas lines
can lead to explosion. Breaking water
pipes causes property damage.
