“ (12.7 mm) Protection class: II / Noise and vibration data: Measured value for sound determined in accord- ance with EN 60745. The A-weighted sound level of the electric power tool is typically: Sound pressure level: 88.02 dB(A) Sound power level: 99.02 dB(A) Uncertainty K: 3 dB Wear ear protection! Evaluated acceleration, typical: Hand / arm vibration a

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 equipment. The vibra- tion emission value specified can also serve as a preliminary assessment of the exposure. The vibration level will change according to the ap- plication of the electrical tool an in some cases may exceed the value specified in these instructions. Re- gularly using the electric tool in such a way may make it easy to underestimate the vibration. Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment of the vibration loads experienced during a particu- Introduction Introduction / General power tool safety warnings37 GB Introduction lar period of working, you should also take into ac count the intervening periods of time when the device 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 power tool safety warnings Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions 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-op- erated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) D o 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. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractio

can cause you to lose control.

2. 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. Unmodified plug

and matching outlets will reduce 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 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 outdo ors, use an extension cord suitable for out- door use. 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. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operat- ing a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medica- tion. 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 dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal in- juries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. 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 fing

n the switch or energising power tools that hav

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. Introduction / General power tool safety warnings38 GB e) Do not overreach. Keep proper foot- ing 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov- ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connec- tion of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your applica tion. 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 it 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 the battery pack from the power tool before making any ad- justments, 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 un- trained users. e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis- alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other con- dition that may affect 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.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only iden- tical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety advice relating specifically to sabre saws To avoid the danger of injury, fire and damage to your health: Hold the device by the insulated han- dle surfaces when performing work where there is danger of the tool used striking hidden electrical lines or its own power cable. Contact with a live wire could cause metal parts of the device to be- come live and lead to electric shock. If you use the device outdoors, always connect it through a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA. 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. A slip can result in injury. If a 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.

Sawing metal creates flying sparks. General power tool safety warnings / Before useGeneral power tool safety warnings39 GB For this reason, always make sure that nobody is placed in any danger and that there are no inflammable materials near the working area. 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. Wear protective glasses and a dust mask! Do not saw materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen. When sawing building materials, observe the statutory requirements and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not work on moist materials or damp surfaces. Switch the device on before you bring it into contact with the workpiece. CAUTION! Do not allow the blade to come into contact with a solid object or the floor when the device is operating – danger of kickback! The shoe

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, defect-free 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.

Advice about ways of working when sawing Before sawing, check the workpiece for foreign bodies such as nails, screws etc. and remove them. Do not allow the ventilation slots to become covered. Switch the device on first and only then bring it into contact with the workpiece. If the saw blade jams, switch off the device im- mediately. Open the sawn gap in the workpiece slightly 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, directly at the face of a wall. Follow these steps:

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

2. Bend the blade by applying sideways pressure

comes up against the wall.

3. Switch on the device as described above and

trim the workpiece using constant pressure. Plunge sawing: 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

against the workpiece. Switch on the device.

2. Tilt the sabre saw forward and plunge the saw

blade into the workpiece. Before use / Preparing for use Preparing … / Maintenance and cleaning / Service centre / Warranty / Disposal41 GB
