power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d )
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
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 saw blade.
Checking and Changing the 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.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the
voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of
your charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your
D
e
WALT
charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire
is required.
