Safety warnings for reciprocating saws
• Always wear safety glasses ((normal glasses or sunglass-
es are NOT a substitute for safety glasses) when using the
reciprocating saw .
• Wear protective clothing and a dust mask when you
machine appropriate material.
• Keep all body parts away from the sawblade. Do not try
to hold the material being cut during operation. Careless-
ness when using the device can lead to serious injuries!
• Always hold the power tool using the insulated handles,
as the reciprocating saw may come into contact with con-
cealed power cables or its own power cord. Contact with
a live wire can cause current to flow through the metal
parts of the power tool and result in an electrical shock!
• Do not use the device during rain. Make sure you keep it
in a dry condition indoors. There is a risk of electric shock
when using on wet surfaces!
• Do not insert your hands, fingers, hair or other body
parts and objects into the device or the sawblade.
• Never block the sawblade.
• Use clamps, screw clamps, a vice or some other practi-
cal way to secure and support the workpiece on a stable
surface.
• Hold the power tool with both hands when working and
ensure secure footing.
• Examine the workpiece for nails before you start
working and remove them before machining.
• Always switch the machine off and wait for the blade
to stop before removing the device from the workpiece.
