2. General safety instructions for power tools

WARNING!Read all instructions!

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric

shock, fire and/or serious injury.

The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

Save these instructions for future reference!

21 Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust of fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2.2 Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs which earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs 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.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. Always use tool in conjunction with a residual circuit breaker device. The use of a residual circuit breaker device reduces the risk of electric shock.

2.3 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 these pieces of equipment reduce hazards caused by dust.

2.4 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 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 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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools 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

English

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.

2.5 Service

a. Please use a qualified expert who uses original replacement parts to repair your power tool. This will ensure proper functioning of the power tool.

3. Additional safety warnings for reciprocating saws

• Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
• Wear safety goggles, hearing protection and if necessary other protective means, such as safety gloves, safety shoes, etc.
• Before use, remove all nails and other metal objects from the workpiece.
• Make sure that the workpiece is properly supported or fixed.
• Do not use the machine without the guard.
• Inspect the saw blade before each use. Do not use saw blades which are bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
• Make sure that the saw blade is properly mounted.
• Only use saw blades that are suitable for use with the machine.
• Only use saw blades with the correct dimensions.
• Do not use other accessories than saw blades.
• Do not use saw blades made of HSS steel.
• Do not use the machine on workpieces requiring a maximum sawing depth that exceeds the maximum sawing depth of the saw blade.
• Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces where the saw blade may contact hidden wiring or the mains cable. If the saw blade contacts a 'live' wire, the exposed metal parts of the

machine can also become, live'. Risk of electric shock.

• Let the machine run at no load in a safe area after mounting the saw blade. If the machine vibrates strongly, immediately switch off the machine, remove the mains plug from the mains, and try to solve the problem.
• Beware that the saw blade continues to rotate for a short period after switching off the machine. Do not attempt to bring the saw blade to a standstill yourself.

3.1 Kickback

Kickback is the upward and backward movement of the saw blade when the saw blade unexpectedly touches an object.

Securely hold the machine with both hands during use. Keep your attention focused on the operation.

Kickback is usually caused by:

-unintentionally touching hard objects or materials with the rotating saw blade;
-a blunt saw blade;
-a saw blade that is not properly mounted;
-sawing into a previous cut;
-a lack of attention to the operation;
-an instable stance.

4. Electrical safety

Always check that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or the mains plug is damaged.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable for the power rating of the machine with a minimum thickness of 1.5mm^2 . If you use an extension cable reel, always fully unroll the cable.

5. Before the first use

Remove the machine and all accessories from the package. Keep the packaging materials out of the reach of small children. There is a danger of suffocation!

10. Pressure shoe

The pressure shoe (8) serves as a support during cutting. The pressure shoe is freely movable and can be tilted accordingly so that it can be adjusted to the respective cutting operation.

101 To adjust the length of the pressure shoe, loosen both Allen screws (11a and 11b) with the provided Allen key (9) and pull the pressure shoe outward or slide the shoe all the way inside.

10.2 Tighten the Allen screws again after you have set the length of the pressure shoe.

11. Sawing tips

• Adjust saw blade and stroke rate to suit the material to be processed. For right radius curves it is best to use a narrow saw blade. Apply coolant or lubricant to deal with the fluttering produced along the cut line when sawing metal.
• Check wood, chip boards, building materials etc, for foreign bodies (nails, screws etc.), before sawing and remove them, if necessary.
• Clamp material well. Do not support the workpiece with hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor with the saw running (danger of backlash).
• Put the footplate on the surface of the workpiece, and saw through it with constant contact pressure or feed. If the saw blade seizes switch the machine off immediately. Spread the gap with a suitable tool and pull out the saw blade.
  After finishing work, switch off the machine and only put down after it has come to a complete standstill.

English

11.1 Plunge cutting

• Plunge cutting may only be used on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster boards, etc.
  However, this requires a certain practise and is only possible with short saw blades.
• Place the saw onto the workpiece and switch it on.
• Ensure that the bottom edge of the footplate rests on the workpiece surface.
• Slowly saw into the workpiece at an angle, moving the saw to a vertical position and continue to saw along the cutting line.
• Switch the saw off and lift off the workpiece when the work is complete.

11.2 Flush sawing

• Elastic bi-metal saw blades allow you to saw protruding objects (e.g, water pipes, iron bars, etc.) nearby the wall.
• Apply the saw blade directly to the wall and bend slightly so that the footplate rests against the wall.
• Switch the machine on and saw off the workpiece keeping constant lateral pressure against the wall.

12. Maintenance and Cleaning

• Prior to all work on the reciprocating saw, first disconnect the main power plug.
• Keep the saw blade and the saw in a good and clean condition in order to work well and safely. Clean the device of dust and sawdust only with a paintbrush, cloth or brush. Keep the ventilation openings (7) always clean.
• Never use gasoline or other harsh chemicals or abrasives to avoid damaging the reciprocating saw. Make sure that no liquids get into the reciprocating saw.

12.1 Checking and replacing the carbon brushes

The carbon brushes must be checked regularly. If the carbon brushes are worn, the machine will start to run unevenly.
