Introduction Introduction / General safety advice for electrical power tools Vibration emission values: Vibration emission value (cutting boards):

Vibration emission value (cutting wooden beams):

Uncertainty K = 1.5 m / s

The vibration level specified in these instructions was measured in accordance with an EN 60745 standardised measurement process and can be used to compare tools. The vibration emission value specified can also serve as a prelim- inary assessment of the exposure. The vibration level will change according to the application of the power tool and in some cases, may exceed the value specified in these instructions. Regularly using the power tool in such a way may make it easy to underestimate the vibration. Try to keep the vibration loads as low as possible. Measures to reduce the vibration load are, e.g. wearing gloves and limiting the working time. Where- in all states of operation must be included (e.g. times when the power tool is switched off and times where the power tool is switched on but running without load). General safety advice for electrical power tools 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. 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) K eep your working area clean and wel

lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents. b) Do not work with the device in poten- tially explosive environments in which there are inflammable liquids, gases o

dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes. c) 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

a) The mains plug on the power tool (or on the power supply) must fit the mains socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and the correct sockets reduce the risk of elec- tric shock. b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig- 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. Water entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock. d) Do not use the mains lead for any pur- pose for which it was not intended, e.

to carry the device, to hang up the de- vice or to pull the mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled mains leads increase the risk of elec- tric shock. e) When working outdoors with an elec- trical power tool always use extension cables that are also approved for use outdoors. The use of an extension cable suit- able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.38 GB

General safety advice for electrical power toolsGeneral safety advice for electrical power tools f) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if operating the electrical power tool in a moist environment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Remain alert at all times, watch what you are doing and always proceed with caution. Do not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One mo ment of carelessness when using the device can lead to serious injury. b) Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. The wearing of personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety hel- mets or ear protectors, appropriate to the type of electrical power tool used and work under- taken, reduces the risk of injury. c) Avoid accidental starting. Verify the po- wer tool is switched off before connec- ting it to the mains and / or connecting the battery, picking it up, or carrying it. Accidents can happen if you carry the device with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or with the device switched on. d) Remove any setting tools or spanners before you switch the device on. A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a device can lead to injury. e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat- ural position. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. By doing this you will be in a better position to control the device in unforeseen circumstances. f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov- ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can become trapped in moving parts. g) If vacuum dust extraction and collection devices are fitted do not forget to check that they are properly connected and correctly used. The use of these devices reduces the hazard presented by dust.

4. Careful handling and use

of electrical power tools a) Do not overload the device. Always use an electrical power tool that is intended for the task you are under- taking. By using the right electrical power tool for the job you will work more safely and achieve a better result. b) Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch is defective. An electrical power tool that can no longer be switched on and off is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Pull the mains plug out of the socket and / or remove the rechargeable bat- tery before you make any adjustments to the device, change accessories or when the device is put away. This pre- caution is intended to prevent the device from unintentionally starting. d) When not in use always ensure that electrical power tools are kept out of reach of children. Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is not familiar with it or has not read the instructions and advice. Electrical power tools are dan- gerous when they are used by inexperienced people. e) Look after the device carefully. Check that moving parts are working prop- erly and move freely. Check for any parts that are broken or damaged enough to detrimentally affect the functioning of the device. Have dam- aged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools. f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control. g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso- ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions and advice, and39 GB

General safety advice for electrical power toolsGeneral safety advice for electrical power tools 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.

5. Use and handling of the cord-

less electrical power tool a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit using only the charger recommended by the manufacturer. Chargers are often designed for a particular type of rechargeable battery unit. There is the danger of fire if other types of rechargeable battery units are used. b) Only the rechargeable battery units supplied are to be used with an elec- trical power tool. The use of other recharge- able battery units may lead to the danger of injury or fire. c) When they are not being used, store rechargeable battery units away from paperclips, coins, keys. nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause the contacts to be bridged. Short- circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery unit may result in heat damage or fire. d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery units if they are misused. If this happens, avoid contact with the fluid. If contact occurs, flush the affected area with water. Seek additional medical help if any of the fluid gets into your eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns. CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION! The batteries must never be recharged! Protect the battery against heat, e.g., against continuous intense sunlight, fire, water and moisture. Danger of explo- sion.

a) Have your device repaired at the ser- vice centre or by qualified specialist personnel using original manufacturer parts only. This will ensure that your device remains safe to use. Safety notices specific to sabre saws To prevent the risk of injury and fire, as well as health hazards: Hold the tool by the insulated handles when performing work where the tool may hit hidden electrical wires. Contact with a live wire could cause metal parts of the tool to become live and lead to electric shock. Use suitable detectors in order to searc

for hidden supply lines, or consult your local power authority. Contact with elec- tric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damage to a gas line can result in explosion. Breaking a water line causes property damage. Keep you hands away from the area of the saw blade. Do not grip the un- derside of the work piece. Contact with the saw blade may result in injury. Keep hands away from the lifting rod and the quick-action blade clamp. Con- tact with components poses a crushing risk. Always switch on the power tool be- fore placing it against the work piece. There is also the risk of kickback if the power tool becomes caught in the work piece. Be sure the guide plate touches the work piece when sawing without holding bracket. The saw blade could c atch, resulting in losing control over the power tool. After finishing work switch off the power tool and only remove the saw blade from the cut once it has stopped. This will prevent kickback and allows you to safely put down the power tool. Only use undamaged, defect-free saw blades. Bent or dull saw blades can brake, negatively impact the cut or cause kickback.40 GB

Before using / Start-up… / Safety notices for chargers / Working instructions for sawing / Before using After switching off do not stop the saw blade by pressing it sideways against an object. The saw blade could be damaged, brake, or cause kickback. Secure the material well. Do not sup- port the work piece with your hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the ground with the saw running. Risk of kickback. Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to firmly hold the work piece. This results in a safer grip than with your hand. Wait for the power tool to stop before putting it down. The tool being used could catch, resulting in losing control over the pow- er tool. Lock the on/off switch to the off posi- tion before working on the power tool (e.g. maintenance, tool change, etc.), and when transporting or storing. Risk of injury if the on/off switch is accidentally acti- vated. Protect the power tool from heat, e.g. also from continuous sunlight, fire, water and moisture. Risk of explosion. Wear the dust mask when using the tool. Safety notices for chargers This device may be used by children age 8 years and up, as well as by persons with reduced phys- ical, sensory or mental capacities, or lacking experience and/or knowledge, so long as they are supervised or instructed in the safe use of the device and understand the associated risks. Children should not be allowed to play with the device. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision. The charger is only suitable for indoor use. Do not operate the device if the cable, mains cable, or plug are damaged. A damaged mains cable indicates a life-threaten- ing danger due to electric shock. Working instructions for sawing Check the material you wish to cut for foreign objects such as nails, screws, etc. and remove these. Immediately switch off the tool if the saw blade is jammed.
