Noise/vibration information
*1 with saw blade bimetal, dimension 150 x 1,4/1,9 mm and tooth pitch 4,2 mm, 6Tpi
WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardized test given in EN 62841 and may
be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent
applications, with diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration
and noise emission may diff er. This may significantly increase the exposure
level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take
into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of
vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
SABRE SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. 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 work by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the
machine. The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as dust mask,
protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful to health. Do not inhale
the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health (e.g. asbestos).
Switch the device off immediately if the insertion tool stalls! Do not switch
the device on again while the insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could
trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the
insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety
instructions.
The possible causes may be:
-
it is tilted in the workpiece to be machined
-
it has pierced through the material to be machined
-
the power tool is overloaded
Do not reach into the machine while it is running.
The insertion tool may become hot during use.
WARNING! Danger of burns -
when changing tools
-
when setting the device down

charged.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack from the
charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C and away from
moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION
In extremely high torque, binding, stalling and short circuit situations that
cause high current draw, the tool will stop for about 2 seconds and then the
tool will turn OFF.
To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperatur of the battery could
become to high. If this happens, the battery will shut down.
