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 fitted tools 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.
h)
Keep handles and handle surfaces dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Slippery handles and handle surfaces will prevent you
from operating and controlling the power tools safely in unforeseen
situations.
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.
Safety instructions for reciprocating saws
− For your own safety, only operate the saw after you have read the safety
instructions.
−
Hold the saw only by the insulated handle surfaces when performing
work where the fitted tool may contact hidden power lines or its own
cable.
Contact with a live wire may send current up exposed metal parts
of the power tool and give the operator an electric shock.
−
Fasten and secure the workpiece to a stable surface using clamps or in
another manner.
If you only hold onto the workpiece with your hand or put
it against your body, it will remain unstable and could lead to loss of control.
− Only use sharp saw blades in perfect condition. Immediately replace any
cracked, bent or dull saw blades.
− Adapt fitted tools and the stroke rate to the material. Ensure an even feed
motion.
− Make sure that the permissible stroke rate of the fitted tool is at least as
high as the maximum number specified on the saw. Accessories that
move faster than permissible may break and be projected.
− Only operate the saw if the saw shoe is mounted. When working, the saw
shoe must always be positioned on the work piece.
