c) General safety warnings for power tools

Do not overload power tools. Only use power tools for their intended purpose. A suitable tool does the job better and, more importantly, more safely.
Check the on/off switch before each use. Using the tool with a damaged on/off switch hinders control of the tool and is therefore very dangerous.
Always remove the rechargeable battery when you
– are making adjustments,
– storing the appliance,
– removing a blockage,
– feel unusual vibrations,
– or after contact with a foreign body (in this case, check the device for damage and, if necessary, have it repaired by a specialist)
Keep power tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are unfamiliar with the appliance and/or have not read and understood these original operating instructions to use it. Power tools are very dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users.
Service the tool regularly and check for signs of damage, dirt, incorrect settings, wear and tear or other issues that may present a hazard. Ensure that damaged devices are repaired by a specialist before use. Poorly maintained tools often lead to accidents.
Use the tool and its accessories only for the specified purpose and in accordance with these original operating instructions. Also pay attention to the working conditions and the task that you plan to carry out. Improper use can lead to hazardous situations.
Only use accessories and attachments that are compatible with the slots on the device.
Never attempt to switch off safety mechanisms.
Switch the appliance off immediately if the drive becomes blocked.
Do not use the appliance on wet materials.
Keep the handles and surfaces of the tool dry, clean and free of oil or lubricants. Slipping during operation leads to a loss of control and accidents.
Hold the tool firmly. A sudden stop of the drive transfers the kinetic energy to the tool itself. This may cause the tool to fall out of your hands – risk of injury!
Condensation may form when the product is brought from a cold room into a warm one (e.g. during transportation). This can damage the product! For this reason, allow the product to warm up to room temperature before using it or inserting the battery. This may take several hours.

d) Safety warnings for battery-powered tools

Only use batteries that are specifically designed for this power tool. Using other batteries might result in injury and/or fire hazards.
Observe the safety and handling instructions in the original operating instructions of the battery and its charging device.
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is connected to the battery. Remove the battery before moving away from the appliance.

e) Workstation safety

Keep your workstation clean. Keep the work area well lit. A disorganized workstation or poor lighting can cause accidents.
Keep children and other people away from the workstation! Distractions can cause accidents.
Ensure that your working area is well ventilated.
Never use the product next to or near flammable liquids or gases, air/gas mixtures (petrol vapours) or flammable solids/dust. Sparks may be generated when the product is used – risk of fire or explosion!

f) Specific safety instructions for reciprocating saws

Secure the workpiece with suitable means. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or resting on your legs.
Avoid damage that may be caused by screws, nails and other elements in your workpiece; remove these before starting work.
Always hold the saw by the insulated handles. The saw blade could come into contact with hidden power lines or the mains cable and energies the metal parts of the saw. Danger of electric shock!

Troubleshooting

No function, the device does not work

The battery is depleted. Charge the battery using the corresponding charger.
The battery is not correctly inserted into the battery holder (6) on the appliance.
The appliance is overheated. Let the appliance cool down.

The saw blade does not move:

Immediately switch off the saw and disconnect the battery.
Check whether a foreign object is blocking the saw blade.
If necessary, remove the saw blade and/or the foreign object.

The saw cut becomes unclean, the saw edges tear.

The saw blade is worn or damaged and must be replaced.
A saw blade unsuitable for the material or the type of saw cut is used.
You are exerting too much pressure on the saw when sawing. Saw with less feed.
Protect sensitive material (e.g. coated chipboard) with adhesive tape. The tape prevents tearing at the cutting edge. If necessary, you can also saw a thin wooden support, which also prevents the cutting edge from being torn out.
