6. 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.
7. If devices are
connection of
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Maintain power
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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control;

7. Use the
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
the
operations different from those intended
and
could result in a hazardous situation.
1. 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.
SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR
RECIPROCATING SAWS
1. Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
If a cutting accessory contacts a "live" wire,
it may cause the exposed metal parts of the
power tool to become "live" and shock the
operator.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to
support the workpiece and secure it to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY
for
RECIPROCATING SAWS
1. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
A bent blade can break easily or cause
kickback.
2. Before starting to cut, turn the tool
"ON" and allow the blade to come to full
speed. The tool can chatter or vibrate if the
blade speed is too slow at the beginning of
cut and could kickback.
