Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745: Definitions: Safety Guidelines Vibration emission value ah while cutting board ahB = Uncertainty K = The definitions below describe the level of severity for each signal word. Please read the manual and pay attention to these symbols. DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting.
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
• Before using charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on charger, battery pack, and product using battery pack. WARNING: Shock hazard. Do not allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock may result. CAUTION: Burn hazard. To reduce the risk of injury, charge only DEWALT rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug. • Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Take it to an authorised service center. • Do not disassemble charger; take it to an authorized service center when service or repair is required. Incorrect reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire. • Disconnect the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. This will reduce the risk of electric shock.
LEAVING THE BATTERY PACK IN THE CHARGER The charger and battery pack can be left connected with the charge indicator showing Pack Charged. WEAK BATTERY PACKS: Weak batteries will continue to function but should not be expected to perform as much work. FAULTY BATTERY PACKS: This charger will not charge a faulty battery pack. The charger will indicate faulty battery pack by refusing to light or by displaying problem pack or charger. NOTE: This could also mean a problem with a charger.
OPERATION This reciprocating saw is a professional power tool. DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced operators use this tool. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, lock the trigger switch and disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury. G FIG. 2 Variable Speed Trigger Switch (Fig.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. 4) FIG. 5 WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown. WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a sudden reaction. Proper hand position requires one hand on the hand grip (I), with the other hand on the main handle (H). K J Pivot Release Slider (Fig. 6) WARNING: To avoid tool being turned on accidentally, make sure the lock-off button (B) is engaged.
Different blade lengths are available. Use the appropriate blade for the application. The blade should be longer than 89 mm (3-1/2") and should extend past the shoe and the thickness of the workpiece during the cut. A 102 mm (4") blade is recommended for best performance. Do not use jigsaw blades with this tool. WARNING: Cut hazard. Blade breakage may occur if the blade does not extend past the shoe and the workpiece during the cut (Fig. 8).
jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage. Any cuts which put pressure on the blade such as angle or scroll cuts increase potential for vibration, kickback, and blade breakage. WARNING: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches and debris ahead of time. WARNING: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, FIG. 10 water pipes, or electrical wires before making blind or plunge cuts.
Repairs the workpiece during the cut. Use a longer blade if needed. Whenever possible, the saw shoe must be held firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage. FIG. 13A To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by certified service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
