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.
f
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from
the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
f
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re -
pair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORDLESS SABRE
SAW
f
Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails
another elements in your workpiece; remove them
before you start working.
f
Always check that the supply voltage is the same
as the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the
charger.
f
Switch off the power tool immediately when the
tool insert jams. Be prepared for high reaction
torque that can cause kickback. The tool insert jams
when:
ƒ
the power tool is subject to overload or
ƒ
it becomes wedged in the workpiece
f
Use only accessories with an allowable speed
matching at least the highest no-load speed of the
tool.
f
The tool/charger is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervi -
sion or instruction concerning use of the tool/char -
ger by a person responsible for their safety.
f
Ensure that children do not play with the tool/char -
ger.
f
Hold the machine with a firm grip. High reaction
torque can briefly occur while driving in and loos -
ening screws.
f
Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely
than by hand).
f
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord (cutting accessory and fasteners con-
tacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock).
f
Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion; pen-
etrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock).
f
Always wait until the machine has come to a com-
plete stop before placing it down. The tool insert
can jam and lead to loss of control over the power
tool.
f
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful (contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask
and work with a dust extraction device when con -
nectable.
f
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunc -
tion with additives for wood conditioning; wear a
dust mask and work with a dust extraction device
when connectable.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHARGERS AND BAT-
TERIES
1. BATTERY CHARGERS
a. Before charging, read the instructions.
b. For indoor use. Do not expose to rain.
c. Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries.
2. BATTERY
a. The battery must be removed from the appli-
ance before it is scrapped.
b. The appliance must be disconnected from the
supply mains when removing the battery.
c. The battery is to be disposed of safely.
d. Do not use non-rechargeable batteries.
e. Do not crush, open or burn the battery. Exposure
to potentially harmful materials may occur.
f. In case of fire use C0
2
dry chemical extinguisher.
g. Do not expose to high temperatures >45°C. Cells
may degrade at high temperatures.
h. The battery must be charged by a constant cur-
rent, constant voltage transformer.
i. Charge battery regularly in conditions between
5°C to 45°C with the specified charger designed
for this battery.
j. Store in a dry, well ventilated area within the rec-
ommended limits of 10°C to 30°C.
k. Do not use battery if it has been stored at 5°C or
less. Allow it to "normalise" at room temperature
before usage/changing.
l. During decommissioning remove the battery cell
for recycling separately to the product, which is
covered by the waste electrical and electronic
equipment directive. Insulate the terminals with
adhesive insulating tape to prevent a short cir-
cuit, fire or explosion occurring.
LITHIUM-ION MATERIAL DATA SHEET
As a substance under normal conditions of use it
is not considered a hazard to health. In the event
of accidental release, measures to prevent spread
must be adhered. Do not contaminate rivers, water-
ways or drains.
Composition of lithium-manganese, lithium-cobalt
and lithium salt as the organic solvent electrolyte
(nonaqueous liquid).
Hazardous Decomposition: None during normal op-
erating conditions. If cell is ruptured hydrogen fluo -
ride and carbon monoxide may be released.
