Power Tool Use and Care
1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application.
The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
2.
Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off.
Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4.
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.
5.
Maintain power tools and accessories.
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.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
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.
8.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
9.
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.
10.
Never service damaged battery packs.
Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
11. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.

Safety Instructions for
Reciprocating Saws
1.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
2.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Keep hands away from moving parts.
Never place your hands near the cutting area.
4. 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.
5. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to
begin work before turning on the tool.
6. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
7. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
