Additional Safety Instructions for
Reciprocating Saws
WARNING: ALWAYS use approved
respiratory protection. Use of this tool
can generate and/or disburse dust,
which may cause serious injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory 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 support the workpiece to a
stableplatform. Holding the workpiece by
hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• After switching off, never attempt to stop the
saw blade with your fingers.
• Never put the saw down on a table or work
bench unless switched off. The saw blade will
keep running briefly after the tool has been
switched off.
• When using saw blades specially designed
for cutting wood remove all nails and metal
objects from the workpiece before starting
work.
• Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to
fasten the workpiece securely.
• Do not attempt to saw extremely small
workpieces.
• Do not bend too far forward. Make sure
that you always stand firmly particularly on
scaffolding and ladders.
• Always hold the saw with both hands.
• For cutting curves and pockets, use an
adapted saw blade.
• Only use saw blades conforming to the
specifications contained in these operating
instructions.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working
condition should be used; cracked or bent
saw blades should be discarded and replaced
at once.
• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed.
WARNING: We recommend the use of
a residual current device with a residual
current rating of 30mA or less.
