Safety
General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Personal Safety
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1) Work area safety
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 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. 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 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) 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.
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 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 injuries.
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 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, 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. 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 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 and/or the battery pack from the power tool 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 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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained
Specific safety instructions for reciprocating saws
Important: Always remove the battery from the reciprocating saw before performing any adjustment, service or maintenance.
a) Keep hands and fingers away from the saw blade and other moving parts. Do not reach under the workpiece being sawn. The blade or your hand could be out of your field of vision.
b) Ensure that there are no hidden electrical wires or water pipes in the ceiling or wall into which you about to saw. Remove all fuses and cut off the power supply to any wiring circuits which may be connected to any electrical wiring concealed within the wall. Grip only the plastic parts of the reciprocating saw. Never grip any metal parts of the saw when cutting in areas where there might be live electrical wires.
c) Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Bent saw blades can easily break or cause kickback.
d) Start the saw and allow it to attain proper operating speed before sawing.
e) Clamp down any small workpieces before sawing them.
f) Make sure that the settings are correct and that the blade is securely fastened in the blade holder before beginning to saw.
Safety Warnings for battery pack
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs haphazardly in a box or drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by conductive materials.

General safety instructions for batteries and chargers
- Never attempt to dismantle a battery.
- Never store a battery in direct sunlight or at temperatures above 40 °C.
- Only charge the battery when the ambient temperature is between +5 and 40 °C.
- Never expose the battery or charger to water.
Vibration
- The measurement of the vibration emission level declared in this instruction manual has been carried out in accordance with a standardised test method described in EN 60745 and can be used for comparing one power tool with another.
- The measurement method may also be used for a preliminary assessment of vibration exposure.
- The declared vibration emission level applies when the power tool is used in accordance with this instruction manual. If however, the power tool is used for other purposes and with other accessories or has not been properly maintained, the vibration emission level could increase significantly over the total working period.
- For an exact assessment of the vibration exposure, the times when the tool is switched off or running idle should also be taken into account. This significantly reduces the vibration exposure over the total working period. Decide upon safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration during all types of use.

- Switching on: Slide the trigger lock (6) to the right to unlock the power trigger (7). The blade speed is controlled by the amount of pressure on the power trigger.
- Switching off: Release the trigger to switch the reciprocating saw off.
Operation
- Make sure that the saw blade is locked in the blade clamp before starting to saw.
- Make sure that the workpiece is securely anchored or clamped to prevent it slipping (especially small or light workpieces). It is the saw that you want to move, not the workpiece.
- Mark the cut line clearly before starting to cut.
- Adjust the footplate so that it rests against the surface of the workpiece.
- Hold the saw in a firm grip at a comfortable working distance from the workpiece and make sure that the blade is not touching anything when the saw is turned on.
- Start the saw by pressing in the power trigger.
- Move the blade carefully towards the workpiece. Do not overload the saw – let it work at its own pace. It is the saw blade that should do the work; do not force the blade into the workpiece.
Sawing flush to a surface
Handy hint: By using a flexible bi-metal saw blade you can saw right up to the edge of a surface. This is useful when sawing off pipes protruding from a wall for example.
-
Lay the side of the saw blade flat against the surface/wall and tilt the saw so that the side of the footplate rests against the surface/wall.
-
Lay a thin piece of hard plastic between the blade and the surface to protect the surface.

-
Mark the cut line clearly before starting to cut.
-
Line the tip of the blade along the cut line.
-
Rest the edge of the footplate on the workpiece and hold the saw almost parallel to the workpiece with the blade in the air.
-
Start the saw and let it come up to speed.
-
Slowly tilt the saw upwards so that the blade feeds into the marked cut line.
-
Continue to tilt the saw upwards until it is at right angles to the workpiece, cut until you reach the next corner.

natural_image

Do not feed the saw blade into the material until it has fully come up to the set speed or serious injury may result.
Sawing metal
Use a sharp blade specially designed for cutting metal. Use cutting oil* for cooling and lubrication while cutting metal. Do not overload the saw – let it work at its own pace.
* Different materials require different lubricants/coolants.
Overload protection and other safety features
The reciprocating saw/battery has a number of safety features that prevent damage to the reciprocating saw and battery during use.
- During short high-load situations the overload protection may switch the reciprocating saw/battery off. This protection resets automatically.
Release the trigger, wait a few seconds, ensure that there is no load and restart the reciprocating saw. The reciprocating saw should now function normally again. - During high-load for extended periods the overheating protection may switch the reciprocating saw/battery off. The protection resets itself but the reciprocating saw cannot be restarted until it has returned to normal operating temperature. Let the reciprocating saw cool before resuming work. Do not expose the reciprocating saw to direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Doing so could cause the overheating protection to trigger.
- The battery has a deep discharge undervoltage protection which operates when the battery becomes discharged. The deep discharge protection turns the reciprocating saw off automatically. The battery then needs to be recharged.
Care and maintenance
- Keep the motor ventilation openings free from contaminants.
- Clean the exterior of the reciprocating saw by wiping it with a damp cloth. Use only mild cleaning agents, never solvents or corrosive chemicals.
- If the reciprocating saw is not to be used for a long time, the battery should be fully charged before the tool is stored away.
- Store the reciprocating saw in a dry place out of children's reach whenever it is not to be used for a long time.
