e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s 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. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified
by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
c) When 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.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Instructions for
Reciprocating Saws
 • Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• ALWAYSwearadustmask.Exposure to
dust particles can cause breathing difficulty and
possible injury.
 • NEvER switch on the tool when the saw blade
is jammed in the workpiece or in contact with
the material.
 • Keephandsawayfrommovingparts. Never
place your hands near the cutting area.
 • 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.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of
time. Vibration caused by the operating action
of this tool may cause permanent injury to
fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide
extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and
limit daily time of use.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
 • 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 SAWING
 • 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
