Introduction / General safety advice for electrical power tools Blade stroke: Max. cutting width: 20mm Wood 160 mm Aluminium 18 mm Steel 8mm Saw blade mount size: !/," Protection class: el) Noise and vibration data: Measured value for sound determined in accord- ance with EN 60745. The A-weighted sound level ofthe electric power tool is typically: Sound pressure level: 86dB[A) Sound power level: 99 dB{A) Uncertainty K 3dB © Wear ear protection! Evaluated acceleration, typical: Hand / arm vibration a, = 6.303 m/s? Uncertainty K=1.5m/s? EN LATINE 1e vibration level given in these instructions has been measured in accordance with a standardised measurement procedure specified in EN60745 and can be used to compare devices. Different uses of the device give rise to different vibra- fion levels and in many cases they may exceed the values given in these instructions. lt is easy to underes- timate the vibration load if the electrical power tool is used regularly in particular circumstances. Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment ofthe vibration loads experienced during a particu- lar period of working, you should also take into ac- count the intervening periods of time when the de- vice is switched off or is running but is not actually in use. This can result in a much lower vibration load over the whole of the period of working. General safety advice for À electrical power tools EN LAINE Read all the safety advice and instructions! Failure to observe the safety advice and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. PA PARKSIDE Keep all the safety advice and instructions in a safe place for future reference! The term “electrical tool” used in the safety advice refers to electrical tools powered by mains electricity (by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools pow- ered by rechargeable batteries (without a mains lead

a) Keep your working area clean and well lit, Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents. b) Do not work with the device in potentially explosive envi- ronments in which there are inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes. d) ÿ Keep children and other people away while you are operating the electrical tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device.

2. Electrical safety

The mains plug on the device must match the mains socket. The plug must not be modi in any way. Do not use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock. Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refri erators with any part of your body. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed. c) Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Waier entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock. d) 4 Do not use the mains lead for 3Le 979 purpose for which it was La not intended, e.g. to carry the device, to hang up the device or to pull

General safety advice for electrical power tools aged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools. fl Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cufting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control. Use the electrical power tool, accesso- ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions and advice, and the stipulations drawn up for this par- ticular type of device. In doing this, take into account the working conditions and the task in hand. The use of electrical power tools for purposes other than those in- tended can lead to dangerous situations.

To avoid the danger of injury, fire and damage to your health: m lfyou use the device outdoors, always connect it through a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA. m Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much safer than holding it in your hand. = Never support yourself by placing your hands near or in front of the device or the workpiece surface. À slip can result in injury. m lfa dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug immediately out of the mains socket. = Always work with the mains lead leading away from the rear of the device. = DANGER OF FIRE FROM FLYING SPARKS! Sawing metal creates flying sparks. For this reason, always make sure that nobody is placed in any danger and that there are no inflammable materials near the working area. FN CZXINEI NOXIOUS FUMES! Working with harmful / noxious dusts represents a risk to the health of the person operating the device and to anyone near the work area. ee Wear protective glasses and a dust mask!

Safety advice relating specifically to sabre saws PA PARKSIDE # Do not saw materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen. = When sawing building materials, observe the statutory requirements and the manufacturer's recommendations. m Do not work on moist materials or damp surfaces. = Switch the device on before you bring it into contact with the workpiece. À CAUTION!I Do not allow the blade to come into contact with a solid object or the floor when the device is operating - danger of kickbackl must always lie against the work- piece when the device is sawing. # Do not put the device down before it has been switched off and has reached a standstill. = Use only sharp, defectfree blades. Replace cracked, bent or blunt saw blades immediately. = Always keep the device clean, dry and free of oil or grease. © Original accessories / attachments = Use only the accessories detailed in the operating instructions. The use of in- serted tools or accessories other than those recommended in the operating instructions could lead to you suffering an injury. © Information about saw blades You can use any saw blade as long as it has the correct shank fitting - !/," universal shaft.

Preparing for use / Maintenance and cleaning / Service centre / Warranty m Do not allow the ventilation slots to become covered. m Switch the device on first and only then bring it into contact with the workpiece. = lfthe saw blade jams, switch off the device im- mediately. Open the sawn gap in the workpiece slighily using a suitable tool and extract the saw blade. Always make sure the saw blade type and the blade oscillation speed are suitable for the workpiece material. There are different saw blades available in var- ious lengths designed to ensure optimum perfor- mance of every sawing task with your sabre saw. Saw the material using a steady forward rate of progress. Flush sawing: Using flexible saw blades of adequate length you can trim off projecting workpieces, such as pipes, direcily at the face of a wall. Follow these steps:

1. Place the saw blade direcily on the wall surface.

2. Bend the blade by applying sideways pressure

so that the shoe | 5 | comes up against the wall

3. Switch on the device as described above and

trim the workpiece using constant pressure. Plunge sawing: À CAUTION! DANGER OF KICKBACK! Plunge sawing can be used only in soft materials (such as wood etc.]. Follow these steps:

1. Place the sabre saw with the underside of the

shoe [5 | against the workpiece. Switch on the device.

2. Tilthe sabre saw forward and plunge the saw

blade into the workpiece

3. Bring the sabre saw vertical and continue saw-

ing along the cutting line. Note: The saw blade used for this should not be longer than 150 mm PA PARKSIDE © Maintenance and cleaning = Pullthe mains lead out of the mains socket before you clean the device. = Replace the saw blade as soon as its teeth be- come blunt and it starts to produce defective saw cuis. = Always keep the device and the ventilation slots clean. Clean the device after you have finished using it. Do not allow any liquids to enter the device. Use a cloth to clean the housing. Never use petrol, solvents or cleaning agents that might attack plastic. lFnecessary, clean out the saw blade mounting recess With a thin paintbrush or compressed air. © Service centre = FN DAME Have your device repaired only by qualified specialist personnel using original manufacturer parts only. This will ensure that your device remains safe to use. = END ff the plug or mains lead needs to be replaced, always have the replacement carried out by the manufacturer or its service centre.
