Battery use and care
1.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery pack. Inserting
the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
2.
Recharge only with the charger specified by Kogan.com. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
3.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
4.
When the 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.
5.
If the appliance is misused or damaged, liquid may be ejected from the battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, seek medical help as well. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
6.
If the battery is damaged, vapours may be emitted which can irritate the
respiratory system. Provide fresh air and seek medical help in case of inhalation.
7.
Do not open the battery. Keep the battery away from sources of heat, such as fire
or continuous direct sunlight, to avoid the danger of explosion.
Reciprocating saw use and safety
•
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory and fasteners contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live", which can give the operator an electric shock.
•
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to
fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to an explosion. Penetrating
a water line may cause property damage or electric shock.
•
Switch off the power tool immediately if the tool inserts jam. Be prepared for high
reaction torque that can cause kickback.
•
Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction torque can briefly occur while
driving in and loosening screws.
•
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is
held more securely than by hand.
•
Be extra careful when cutting in high or hard-to-reach locations. Avoid sawing
overhead. Be on the lookout for hidden wires and falling debris.
•
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust
from light alloys can burn or explode.
•
Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down.
The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
