General safety rules

WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and /or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety
   • Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   • Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, 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.
2. 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 electric shock ifyour 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.
3. Personal safety
   • Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sens e 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 conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   • Prevent unintentional staring. 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 and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.
   • 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 second.
4. Power tool use and care
   • Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your appli- cation. 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 adjustment, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of staring 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 main- tained 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 differ- ent 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.
5. 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.
6. Safety instructions for reciprocating saws
   • Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when perform- ing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting “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.

Residual risks

• Even when the power tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise in connection with the power tool’s construction and design:
• Damage to lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.
• Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is not worn.
• Damages to health resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is being used over longer period of time or not adequately managed and properly maintained.

WARNING
This machine produces an electromagnetic feld during operation. This field may under some circumstances interfere with active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury, we recommend persons with medical implants to consult their physician and the medical implant manufacturer before operating this machine.

Additional safety regulations

• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand
• Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
• Always wait until the tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
• Do not use a power tool with a damaged power cord. Do not touch the damaged cord and pull the power plug when the cord is damaged while working. Damaged cords increase the risk of an electric shock.
• Connect power tools that are used in the open via a ground fault circuit interrupter.
• Keep hands away from the cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut. Contact with the saw blade may result in injury.
• Guide the tool against the workpiece only when it is switched on. Otherwise, there may be a danger of kickback when the tool insert jams in the workpiece.
• While sawing, pay attention that the pivoting Saw shoe always faces the work. The saw blade can become wedged and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
• After the cut, switch off the power tool and wait until the saw blade has come to a stop before pulling it out of the cut. This avoids kickback and the tool can be placed down securely.
• Use only undamaged blades that are in proper condition. Bent or dull saw blades can break or cause kickback.
• Properly clamp the material to cut. Do not support the workpiece with your band or foot. Avoid touching any objects or the ground with the running saw blade. The danger of kickback.
• Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosions. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
• After switching off, do not “brake” the saw blade by applying sideward pressure against it. The saw blade can become damaged, break or cause kickback.
• Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own power cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
