Residual Risks - Black & Decker KSTR8 Original Instructions Manual

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 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. 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.
Additional power tool safety warnings
@
Warning! Additional safety warnings for jigsaws
and reciprocating saws
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
u
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting ac-
cessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
u
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach
u
underneath the work piece any reason. Do not insert
fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade
and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by gripping the
shoe.
Keep blades sharp. Dull or damaged blades may cause
u
the saw to swerve or stall under pressure. Always use the
appropriate type of saw blade for the workpiece material
and type of cut.
When cutting pipe or conduit, make sure that they are
u
free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
Do not touch the workpiece or the blade immediately
u
after operating the tool. They can become very hot.
Be aware of hidden hazards, before cutting into walls,
u
floors or ceilings, check for the location of wiring and
pipes.
(Original instructions)
The blade will continue to move after releasing the
u
switch. Always switch the tool off and wait for the saw
blade to come to a complete standstill before putting the
tool down.
Warning! Contact with, or inhalation of dusts arising from cut-
ting applications may endanger the health of the operator and
possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask specifically designed
for protection against dust and fumes and ensure that persons
within or entering the work area are also protected.
The intended use is described in this instruction manual.
u
The use of any accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than those recom-
mended in this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury and/or damage to property.

oak, beech and MDF.)
Vibration
The declared vibration emission values stated in the technical
data and the declaration of conformity have been measured
in accordance with a standard test method provided by
EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one tool with
another. The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
