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 perform maintenance on damaged rechargeable batteries.
Only the manufacturer or authorised service companies may perform
maintenance on rechargeable batteries.
Safety instructions for reciprocating saws
− For your own safety, only operate the saw after you have read the safety
instructions.
−
Hold the saw only by the insulated handle surfaces when performing
work where the fitted tool may contact hidden power lines.
Contact with a
live wire may send current up exposed metal parts of the power tool and give
the operator an electric shock.
−
Fasten and secure the workpiece to a stable surface using clamps or
in another manner.
If you only hold onto the workpiece with your hand
or put it against your body, it will remain unstable and could lead to loss of
control.
− Only use sharp saw blades in proper condition. Immediately replace any
cracked, bent or dull saw blades.
− Adapt fitted tools and the stroke rate to the material. Ensure an even feed
motion.
− Make sure that the permissible stroke rate of the fitted tool is at least as
high as the maximum number specified on the saw. Accessories that
move faster than permissible may break and be projected.
− Only operate the saw if the saw shoe is mounted. When working, the saw
shoe must always be positioned on the work piece.
− Only run the saw up to the work piece once it has been switched on.
− Never process material containing asbestos. Use a protective mask and
dust extractor for other fibrous material.
− Do not slow down the saw blade by applying side pressure.
− Use clamping devices to secure the work piece and prevent slippage.
− During operation, always guide the saw with both hands and assume a
stable posture.
