▶
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
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 safer 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 cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
▶
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
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 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.
▶
Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
▶
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.
▶
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
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.
Safety instructions for reciprocating saws
▶
Hold the 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.
▶
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶
Use the tool only when it is in technically faultless condition.
▶
Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶
Always hold the power tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶
Suitable protective glasses, ear protection and protective gloves must be worn while the tool is in
use.
▶
Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents
a risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶
Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
