= 91 dB (A) Uncertainty: K = 3 dB (A) Sound power level: L

= 102 dB (A) Uncertainty: K = 3 dB (A) Wear ear protection! Vibration values (vector total of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 60745: Vibration emission value: Cutting boards: a h,B = 18.6 m/s

NOTE ► The vibration level specified in these instruc- tions has been measured in accordance with the standardised measuring procedure specified in EN 60745 and can be used to make equipment comparisons. The specified vibration emission value can also be used to make an initial exposure estimate.23 PFS 710 C2

WARNING! ► The vibration level varies in accordance with the use of the power tool and may be higher than the value specified in these instructions in some cases. There is a risk of underestima- tion of the vibration load if the power tool is used regularly in this manner. 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. Wherein 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 power tool safety warnings WARNING! ► 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. 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.

a) Keep 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 flam- mable 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. Distractions 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 plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid physical contact with earthed or ground- ed 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. 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 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 personal protective equipments. 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 injuries.24 PFS 710 C2

c) 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 finger on the switch or energising 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, jewel- lery 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 extraction devices can reduce dust- related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a) Do not overload the power tool. Use the cor- rect power tool for your intended 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 is de- fective. Any power tool that cannot be turned on or off 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 adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the 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 dan- gerous 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 tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many acci- dents 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 jam 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 identical replace- ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.25 PFS 710 C2

Appliance-specific safety instructions To avoid the risk of injury or fire as well as health risks: ■ Hold the power tool by the insulated grip- ping surfaces when carrying out work during which the power tool may contact hidden power cables or the device’s mains lead. Contact with a live cable can also make metal parts of the appliance live and could result in an electric shock. ■ Wear a dust mask! ■ When working outdoors, connect the appliance via a fault current circuit breaker with a maximum tripping current of 30mA. ■ Secure the workpiece. Use clamps/vice to hold the workpiece firmly in place. This is safer than simply holding it in your hand. ■ Do not rest your hands next to or in front of the appliance and the area being worked as there is a risk of injury if you slip. ■ In case of danger, remove the power plug from the socket immediately. ■ Always route the power cord towards the rear, away from the appliance. ■ RISK OF FIRE DUE TO FLYING SPARKS! If you are sawing metal, sparks will occur. Ensure that nobody is put at risk and that no combustible materials are located in the imme- diate vicinity of your working space. WARNING! TOXIC DUSTS! ■ Working with the tool can produce harmful/ toxic dusts which represent a health hazard for the person operating the appliance and for anyone else in the vicinity. Wear safety goggles and a protective dust mask! ■ Materials containing asbestos may not be pro- cessed. Asbestos is a known carcinogen. ■ When sawing construction materials, make sure to follow the statutory regulations and recom- mendations from the manufacturers. ■ Never work on moistened materials or damp surfaces. ■ Always switch the appliance on before applying it to the material. CAUTION! ■ Avoid contact with solid objects if the appli- ance is running – risk of kickback! ■ The footplate must always make contact with the workpiece when the appliance is running. ■ Always switch the appliance off and allow it to coast before putting it down. ■ Only use sharp saw blades which are in perfect condition. Replace cracked, bent or blunt saw blades immediately. ■ The appliance must always be kept clean, dry and free from oil or grease.

It must always make contact with the workpiece when the appli- ance is running. Practical advice on sawing ♦ Check the material to be worked to make sure that all foreign objects have been removed, e.g. nails, screws, etc.. ♦ Ensure that the ventilation slits are not covered.27 PFS 710 C2

♦ Switch the appliance on and only then move it towards the material to be worked. ♦ Switch the appliance off immediately if the saw blade jams. Open up the sawn gap using a suitable tool and pull out the sabre saw. ■ Adapt the saw blade and stroke rate to the material to be worked. ■ Optimised saw blades in different lengths are available from a retail store to suit every intended purpose. ■ Saw the material at a constant speed. Sawing flush: The flexible saw blades and suitable corresponding length, enable you to saw off protruding workpieces such as pipes which are close to the wall. For this, proceed as follows:

1. Place the saw blade directly against the wall.

2. Bend it by applying lateral pressure to the sabre

saw so that the footplate makes contact with the wall.

3. Switch the appliance on as described and saw

off the work piece by applying constant pressure. Plunge sawing: CAUTION! RISK OF KICKBACK! ■ Plunge cuts may only be made in soft materi- als (wood or similar). Proceed as follows:

1. Place the sabre saw with the lower edge of the

footplate onto the workpiece. Switch the appliance on.

2. Tilt the sabre saw forwards and plunge the saw

blade into the workpiece.

3. Position the sabre saw vertically and continue

sawing along the cutting line. NOTE ► The saw blade to be used should not exceed a max. length of 152 mm! Maintenance and cleaning WARNING! RISK OF INJURY! Always switch the appliance off before carrying out any work on it. ■ Always remove the power plug from the power socket before cleaning the appliance. ■ Replace the saw blade as soon as its teeth are blunt and proper sawing is therefore no longer possible. ■ Keep the appliance and ventilation slits clean at all times. If the ventilation slits are blocked, there is the risk of overheating and / or the appliance being damaged. ■ Always clean the appliance after completion of work. ■ Never permit fluids to penetrate inside the appli- ance. Use a cloth to clean the housing. Never use petrol, solvents or cleansers which can damage plastic. ■ Clean the saw blade mount, if necessary with a brush or by blowing it out with compressed air.28 PFS 710 C2
