English
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
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.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature.
Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specified range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fire.
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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
PRECAUTION
Keep children and infirm persons away.
When not in use, tools should be stored out of reach of
children and infirm persons.
CORDLESS RECIPROCATING SAW
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Preparing and checking the work environment. Make
sure that the work site meets all the conditions laid forth
in the precautions.
2. Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
3. Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
4. Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.
Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to the
battery.
5. Do not dispose of the battery in fire. If the battery is burnt,
it may explode.
6. Bring the battery to the shop from which it was purchased
as soon as the post-charging battery life becomes too
short for practical use. Do not dispose of the exhausted
battery.
7. Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the
charger. Inserting metal objects or inflammables into the
charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical shock
hazard or damaged charger.
8. When using this unit continuously, the unit may overheat,
leading to damage in the motor and switch. Therefore,
whenever the housing becomes hot, give the saw a
break for a while.
9. If the machine is used continuously at low speed, an
extra load is applied to the motor which can result in
motor seizure. Always operate the power tool so that
the blade is not caught by the material during operation.
Always adjust the blade speed to enable smooth cutting.
10. Always hold the body handle and front cover of the
power tool firmly. Otherwise the counterforce produced
may result in inaccurate and even dangerous operation.
11. Mounting and dismounting the blade
○ Pull the back of the saw blade two or three times by hand
and check that the blade is securely mounted. When
pulling the blade, you will know it is properly mounted if it
clicks and the lever moves slightly. ( Fig. 7 )
○ When pulling the saw blade, be absolutely sure to pull it
from the back. Pulling other parts of the blade will result
in an injury.
○ Never touch the saw blade immediately after use. The
metal is hot and can easily burn your skin.
○ If the broken saw blade is hidden inside the small slit,
hook the broken blade using a tip of another saw blade
and take it out. ( Fig. 8 )
○ After use, blow away sawdust, earth, sand, moisture,
etc., with air or brush them away with a brush, etc., to
ensure that the blade mount can function smoothly.
○ Do not use any saw blade with a worn-out blade hole.
Otherwise, the saw blade can come off, resulting in
personal injury.
12. Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it is at all
loose it could come off and cause an accident.
13. Do not fix and secure the switch lock. Besides, keep
your finger off the switch trigger when the tool is being
carried around. Otherwise, the main body switch can
be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected
accidents.
14. Be careful not to let sawdust, earth, moisture, etc., enter
the inside of the machine through the plunger section
during operation. If sawdust and the like accumulate in
the plunger section, always clean it before use.
15. Do not remove the front cover which will cause in an
injury.
Be sure to hold the body from the top of the front cover.
16. During use, press the base firmly against the workpiece.
17. Select a saw blade of the most appropriate length.
Ideally, the length protruding from the base of the saw
blade after subtracting the stroke quantity should be
larger than the material.
