without notice.
• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.
Intended use
The tool is intended for sawing wood, plastic, metal and
building materials with a strong impact. It is suitable for
straight and curved cutting.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
GEB008-2
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 incor-
rectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Hold power tool 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 unsta-
ble 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 work-
piece 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 work-
piece 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 immedi-
ately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
14. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working with.
15. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
