angle of the material being cut). Then guide the saw
with appropriate downward pressure on the nape of
the saw to cut out the required line.
For certain tasks, e.g. for cutting into the ceiling or
when a lower slant angle of the saw blade relative
to the surface of the material being cut is required, it
is possible to install the saw blade turned around by
180° and to lead the reciprocating saw into the cut in
reverse (see fig. 3B).
INFORMATION ABOUT THE BATTERY
The battery is equipped with protection
against full discharge, which damages it. This
protection manifests its self by the power tool
coming to a sudden stop even when the trigger switch is
pressed, when the battery has been discharged multiple
times. When the trigger switch is released and then
pressed again, the power tool will start again for a short
time, but then it will stop running again.
VII. General safety
instructions for power tools
•
WARNING!
It is necessary to read all the safety instructions,
the user‘s manual, images and regulations supp-
lied with this power tool.
Not adhering to any of the
following instructions may lead to injury by electrical shock,
a fire and/or a serious injury to persons.
All the instructions and the user‘s manual must be
kept for possible future reference.
The term „power tool“ in all hereafter provided warnings is
defined as an tool powered from the power grid (via a power
cord) or a tool powered from a battery (without a power cord
/ cordless).
1) SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA
a)
The work area needs to be kept clean, tidy,
and well lit.
Untidiness and dark areas in the work
area are sources of accidents.
b)
The power tool must not be used in environ-
ments where there is an explosion hazard,
where there are flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
The power tool generates sparks which could
ignite dust or vapours.
c)
When using the power tool, it is necessary to
prevent children and other persons access.
If the user becomes distracted, they may lose control
over the activity being performed.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a)
The plug on the power cord must correspond
to the power socket outlet. The power plug
must never be modified in anyway. Socket
adapters must not be used with power tools
that have a safety earth grounding connec-
tion.
Power plugs that are not damaged by modifi-
cations and that correspond to the power socket will
limit the danger of injury by electrical shock.
b)
The user‘s body must not come into contact
with grounded objects, such as pipes, central
heating radiators, stoves and refrigerators.
The risk of injury by electrical shock is greater when
your body is in contact with the ground.
c)
Power tools must never be exposed to rain,
moisture or wetness.
The entry of water into the
power tool increases the danger of injury by electri-
cal shock.
d)
The flexible power cord must not be used for
any other purposes. Power tools must not be
carried or pulled by the power cord, nor may
the power plug be disconnected by pulling
on the power cord. The power cord must be
protected against heat, grease, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or tangled power cords
increase the danger of injury by electrical shock.
e)
If the power tool is used outdoors, an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use must be
used.
Using extension cords designed for outdoor
use, limits the risk of injury by electrical shock.
f)
If the power tool is used in damp areas, it is
necessary to use a power supply protected
by a residual current device (RCD).
The use of
an RCD limits the danger of injury by electrical shock.
The term „residual current device (RCD)“ may be
substituted for by the term „ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI)“ or „earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)“.
3) SAFETY OF PEOPLE
a)
When using the power tool, the user must be
attentive and pay attention to what they are
SETTING (ADJUSTING) THE DISTANCE
OF THE REST
y
After pressing the button (fig. 1, position 12) it is possi-
ble to slide the rest (fig. 1, position 2) to a distance for
making cutting easier depending on the distance of the
cutting location. When the rest comes into contact with
the material it adapts the angle.
PRESHOOT
y
Setting the toggle switch (fig. 1, position 4) to position
„I“, the preshoot of the saw blade can be set for greater
cutting speed (cutting performance). When the pre-
shoot is set, apart from a horizontal movement,the saw
blade also makes an ellipsoidal movement to increase
the cutting performance.
•
ATTENTION
y
Only set the preshoot when cutting soft materials such
as spruce, pine, larch, chipboard, etc. do not use it for
cutting metal or hard wood. Using the preshoot on hard
materials will result if faster wear and tear of the saw
blade and a greater load on the motor.
•
ATTENTION
y
Do not change the preshoot position while the saw is
running as this could damage the power tool.
INSERTING THE BATTERY INTO
THE HANDLE OF THE RECIPROCATING SAW.
y
Insert the battery into the handle of the saw so that it
clicks in, see fig. 1.
VI. Using the
reciprocating saw
•
WARNING
y
When using the saw, follow the safety instruc-
tions provided below.
y
Prior to the saw blade cutting into the material
that is to be cut, the saw blade must be oscilla-
ting and the rest must be resting on the work-
piece based on the type of cutting work being
performed, see fig. 5 to fig. 7.
CUTTING OF PROTRUDING OBJECTS (FIG. 4).
y
Protruding building elements such as for example steel
reinforcement, plastic pipes, etc. can be cut off flush
with the wall or floor.
•
ATTENTION
For cutting flush with a wall, it is necessary to
select a longer saw blade so that it can bend
more without grinding against the edge of
the resting footplate.
Use the intended saw blade for the given
material.
Place the saw with the footplate on the base and lift
up the saw so that the saw blade is bent and leaning
against the base and guide such a bent oscillating
saw blade to the surface of the material that is to be
cut off. Apply appropriate pressure on the saw blade
to cut off the protruding material.
CUTTING HOLLOW OBJECTS (FIG. 6 AND FIG. 8)
•
ATTENTION
y
Always ensure that the length of the saw blade is suffi-
ciently longer than the diameter of the hollow material.
Otherwise, there is a risk of the saw blade jamming in the
hollow cut material resulting in kickback, the rest must
be leaning on the material being cut, see fig. 6 and fig. 8.
PLUNGE/CURVE CUTS (FIG. 3A AND 3B)
•
ATTENTION
y
Only soft materials such as wood, plasterboard,
etc. may be cut using the gradual plunging
method. Never use this method for cutting metal
materials.
y
For plunge cuts, use only short saw blades.
Lean the saw against the edge of the rest against the
surface of the material that is to be cut according to
fig. 3A. or according to fig. 3B.
Bring the saw up to maximum oscillation speed by
fully pulling down the trigger and gradually lift it up
with the rest leaning on the material being cut so
that the saw blade cuts into the material until the
saw is seated with the full surface of the rest on the
material (the rest will adapt the angle relative to the
