e)
Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use
the device.
Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand.
The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
a)
Have your device repaired at the ser-
vice centre or by qualified specialist
personnel using original manufacturer
parts only.
This will ensure that your device
remains safe to use.
Safety advice relating
specifically to sabre saws
To avoid the danger of injury, fire and
damage to your health:
Hold the device by the insulated han-
dle surfaces when performing work
where there is danger of the tool used
striking hidden electrical lines or its
own power cable.
Contact with a live wire
could cause metal parts of the device to be-
come live and lead to electric shock.
J
If you use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device (RCD) with
a maximum trip current of 30 mA.
J
Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or
a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much
safer than holding it in your hand.
J
Never support yourself by placing your hands
near or in front of the device or the workpiece
surface. A slip can result in injury.
J
If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains
plug immediately out of the mains socket.
J
Always work with the mains lead leading away
from the rear of the device.

NoxIoUS FUMES!
Working
with harmful / noxious dusts represents a risk to
the health of the person operating the device
and to anyone near the work area.
Wear protective glasses and a dust

J
Switch the device on before you bring it into
contact with the workpiece.
CAUTIoN!
Do not allow the blade to come
into contact with a solid object or the floor when
the device is operating – danger of kickback!
J
The shoe
