Use suitable detectors in order to find hidden
supply lines or ask the local utility company.
Contact with electrical cables can lead to electric
shock and fire. Contact with a gas line can result in
an explosion. Damage to a water pipe can lead to
property damage and electric shock.
Hold the power tool tightly while working and
ensure a secure footing.
Wait until the power tool has stopped before
placing it down. The tool insert can tilt and lead to
loss of control over the power tool.
Switch the appliance off immediately if the saw
blade jams. Force apart the saw cut and pull the
blade out carefully. This can lead to loss of control
over the power tool.
Do not saw any materials (e.g.lead-based paints
and coatings or materials containing asbestos)
whose dust can be harmful.
Do not use any accessories that are not
recommended by WORKPRO. This can result in
electric shock or fire.
When recycling, make it nonconductive by applying
insulating tape to the terminals located on the battery.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
New batteries are shipped in a low charged condition
and should be fully charged before Use. The battery
pack can be recharged at any time during use,
provided the pack is not overheated.
If the battery pack starts to cut out due to low
voltage, or previous tasks undertaken can no longer
be performed, it is suggested to stop using the tool
and recharge the battery.
For storage, it is suggested to recharge the battery
between 50% and 75% charge.
2. RECIPROCATING SAW SAFETY
WARNINGS
Hold the electric tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing work in which the tool
insert may come into contact with hidden wiring.
Contact with a live wire can also cause a charge in
metal parts of the appliance and result in an
electric shock.
Fasten and secure the workpiece by means of
clamps or with another method on a stable
underground.If you hold the workpiece only with
your hand or against your wn body, it will stay
instable and this can lead to a loss of control
.
Keep hands away from the awing area. Do not
reach underneath the workpiece. Upon contact
with the saw blade there is a risk of injury.
Check the material to be processed for foreign
bodies, such as nails, screws etc. which must be
removed.
Move the power tool against the workpiece only
when it is turned on. There is a risk of kickback if
the tool insert jams in the workpiece.
Make sure that the soleplate is securely placed
against the workpiece during sawing. The saw
blade can tilt and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
After you have finished work,turn the power tool off
and do not pull the saw blade out of the cut until it
has come to a standstill. In this way you will avoid
any kickback and can safely put down the power
tool.
Use only undamaged saw blades in perfect
condition. Bent or blunt blades can break,
adversely affect the cut or cause kickback.
Do not brake the saw blade after switching the
device off by applying side pressure. The saw
blade may be damaged, break or cause a
kickback.
Tighten the material firmly. Do not support the
workpiece by hand or foot. Do not touch any
objects or the ground with the saw running. There
is a risk of kickback.
