GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and speciﬁ cations 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.

Work area safety
a) Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ﬂ flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
a) 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. Unmodiﬁ end plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂ uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the oﬀ -position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your ﬁ nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from the 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
a) 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.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and oﬀ. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may aﬀ ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
h) 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.
Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger speciﬁ ed by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of ﬁ re when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with speciﬁ cally designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁ re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a ﬁ re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, use water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modiﬁ ed. Damaged or modiﬁ ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in ﬁ re, explosion, or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to ﬁ re or excessive temperature. Exposure to ﬁ re or temperature above 130°C may cause an explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range speciﬁ ed in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the speciﬁ ed range may damage the battery and increase the risk of ﬁ re.
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁ ed repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

PRECAUTION Keep children and inﬁ rm persons away. When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of children and inﬁ rm persons. CORDLESS RECIPROCATING 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 workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

Preparing and checking the work environment. Make sure that the work site meets all the conditions laid forth in the precautions. ed batteries may exhibit
Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for connecting the rechargeable battery.
Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and charger.
Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery. Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the battery.
Do not dispose of the battery in ﬁ re. If the battery is burnt, it may explode.
Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted battery.
Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the charger. Inserting metal objects or inﬂ flammables into the charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock hazard or damaged charger.
When using this unit continuously, the unit may overheat, leading to damage in the motor and switch. Therefore, whenever the housing becomes hot, give the saw a break for a while.
If the machine is used continuously at low speed, an extra load is applied to the motor which can result in motor seizure. Always operate the power tool so that the blade is not caught by the material during operation. Always adjust the blade speed to enable smooth cutting.
Always hold the body handle and housing of the power tool ﬁ rmly as shown in Fig. 13. Otherwise the counterforce produced may result in inaccurate and even dangerous operation.
Mounting and dismounting the blade ○ Pull the back of the saw blade two or three times by hand and check that the blade is securely mounted. When pulling the blade, you will know it is properly mounted if it clicks and the blade holder moves slightly. (Fig. 6-c)
○ When pulling the saw blade, be absolutely sure to pull it from the back. Pulling other parts of the blade will result in an injury.
○ Never touch the saw blade immediately after use. The metal is hot and can easily burn your skin. ○ If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small slit, hook the broken blade using a tip of another saw blade and take it out. (Fig. 8-b)
○ After use, blow away sawdust, earth, sand, moisture, etc., with air or brush them away with a brush, etc., to ensure that the blade mount can function smoothly. ○ Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade hole. Otherwise, the saw blade can come oﬀ , resulting in personal injury.
Make sure that the battery is installed ﬁ rmly. If it is at all loose it could come oﬀ and cause an accident.
Do not ﬁ x and secure the switch lock. Besides, keep your ﬁ nger oﬀ the switch trigger when the tool is being carried around. Otherwise, the main body switch can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.
Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc., enter the inside of the machine through the plunger section during operation. If sawdust and the like accumulate in the plunger section, always clean it before use.
During use, press the base ﬁ firmly against the workpiece.
Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length. Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the saw blade after subtracting the stroke quantity should be larger than the material.
If you cut a large pipe, large block of wood, etc., that exceeds the cutting capacity of a blade; there is a risk that the blade may contact the inner wall of the pipe, wood, etc., resulting in damage. (Fig. 9)
Never apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade when cutting. Doing so can easily break the blade.
The motor can be locked sometimes, depending on the combination of the material to be cut and the blade. Whenever the motor gets locked, switch it oﬀ immediately.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. (Fig. 10) Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
When cutting metallic materials, use an appropriate cutting ﬂ uid (spindle oil, soapy water, etc.) to prolong the bladeʼs service life.
Delay the feed speed when cutting the material into small circular arcs. An unreasonably fast feed may break the blade.
Plunge cutting
○ Avoid plunge cutting for metallic materials. This can easily damage the blade.
○ Never pull the switch trigger while the tip of the saw blade tip is pressed against the material. If you do so, the blade can easily be damaged when it collides with the material.
○ Make absolutely sure that you cut slowly while holding the body ﬁ rmly. If you apply any unreasonable force to the saw blade during the cutting operation, the blade can easily be damaged.
Keep the light ON during cutting operation only. If it is lit ON in other cases, the main body switch can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected accidents.
Do not expose directly your eye to the light by looking into the light. If your eye is continuously exposed to light, your eye will be hurt.
Never touch moving parts. Never place your hands, ﬁ fingers, or other body parts near the tool’s moving parts.
Never operate without all guards in place. Never operate this tool without all guards or safety features in place and in proper working order. If maintenance or servicing requires the removal of a guard or safety feature, be sure to replace the guard or safety feature before resuming the operation of the tool.
NEVER leave the tool running unattended. Turn the power oﬀ. Don’t leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
The power tool is equipped with a temperature protection circuit to protect the motor. Continuous work may cause the temperature of the unit to rise, activating the temperature protection circuit and automatically stopping operation. If this happens, allow the power tool to cool before resuming use.
Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it. It may lead to trouble.
Do not use the product if the tool or the battery terminals (battery mount) are deformed. Installing the battery could cause a short circuit that could result in smoke emission or ignition.
