Power tool use and care
16.
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.
17.
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.
18.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack 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.
19.
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.
20.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
21.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, 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.
Battery tool use and care
23.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before
inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack
into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
24.
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.
25.
Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
26.
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.
27.
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.
SERVICE
28.
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.
29.
Follow instruction for lubricating and
changing accessories.
30.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to recipro saw safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1.
Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock
the operator.
2.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3.
Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
4.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
5.
Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6.
Check for the proper clearance beyond the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade will
not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7.
Hold the tool firmly.
8.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
10.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
11.
Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the
blade from the workpiece.
12.
Do not touch the blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
13.
Do not operate the tool at no-load
