1.5 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECIPROCATING SAWS
a) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
b) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
1.6 SPECIAL SAFETY INFORMATION FOR THE CORDLESS
COMBINATION TOOL
a) Hold the electric tool by the insulated handle surfaces when performing work where the
cutting tool or screw may come into contact with hidden wiring. Contact with a live wire can also
cause a charge in metal parts of the appliance and result in an electric shock.
b) Use suitable detectors in order to find hidden supply lines or ask the local utility company.
Contact with electrical cables can lead to electric shock and fire, contact with a gas pipe can result in
an explosion. Damage to a water pipe can lead to property damaged and electric shock.
c) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece that is retained with clamping appliances or a vice is held more
securely than with your hand.
d) Be very careful when handling tools such as saws, scraper blades and drills. These are sharp
and present an injury hazard.
e) Wear safety gloves when changing attachments. This enables you to avoid injuries if the
appliance attachment has heated up after use.
1.7 SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN SAWING
a) Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. Always
stand to the side of the saw when working. Upon contact with the blade there is a risk of injury.
b) Only when the electric tool is turned on should the sawing blade be moved against
the workpiece. There is a risk of kickback if the tool insert jams in the workpiece.
c) Make sure that the footplate is securely placed against the workpiece during sawing.
The sawblade can tilt and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
d) After you have finished work, turn the power tool off and do not pull the sawblade out of the
cut until it has come to a standstill. In this way you will avoid any kickback and can safely put
down the power tool.
e) Use only undamaged sawblades in perfect condition. Bent or blunt blades can break,
adversely affect the cut or cause kickback.
f) Do not brake the sawblade after applying side pressure. The sawblade may be damaged, break
or cause switching the appliance off by a kickback.
g) Tighten the material firmly. Do not support the workpiece by hand or foot. Do not touch
any objects with the saw running.
h) There is a risk of kickback. Hold the power tool tightly with both hands while working
and ensure a secure footing. The power tool is guided more securely with both hands.
i) Wait until the power tool has stopped before placing it down. The tool insert can tilt and lead
to loss of control over the power tool.
j) Switch the appliance off immediately if the sawing blade jams. Spread the saw cut out and pull
the blade out carefully. This can lead to loss of control over the power tool.
