Additional Safety Instructions for 
Reciprocating Sabre Saws
• ALWAYS wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can 
cause breathing difficulty and possibleinjury.
• Never switch on the tool when the saw blade is jammed in 
the workpiece or in contact with thematerial.
• Keep hands away from moving parts. Never place your 
hands near the cuttingarea.
• Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay 
particular attention to overhead wires which may be 
hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches 
and debris ahead oftime.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. 
Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may 
cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use 
gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and 
limit daily time ofuse.
Switching On and Off
• After switching off, never attempt to stop the saw blade with 
yourfingers.
• Never put the saw down on a table or work bench unless 
switched off. The saw blade will keep running briefly after the 
tool has been switchedoff.
When Sawing
• When using saw blades specially designed for cutting wood 
remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before 
startingwork.
• Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to fasten the 
workpiecesecurely.
• Do not attempt to saw extremely smallworkpieces.
• Do not bend too far forward. Make sure that you always stand 
firmly, particularly on scaffolding andladders.
• Always hold the saw with bothhands.
• For cutting curves and pockets, use an adapted sawblade.
Safety Instructions for Reciprocating Saws
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 
when performing an operation where the cutting 
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory 
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the 
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electricshock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and 
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the 
workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and 
may lead to loss ofcontrol.
6) 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 ismaintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service 
of battery packs should only be performed by the 
manufacturer or authorized serviceproviders.
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the 
power toolaccidentally.
d ) 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 untrainedusers.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for 
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage 
of parts and any other condition that may affect the 
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power 
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by 
poorly maintained powertools.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less 
likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. 
in accordance with these instructions, 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 hazardoussituation.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and 
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping 
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the 
tool in unexpectedsituations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) 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 batterypack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated 
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create 
a risk of injury andfire.
c ) 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 afire.
d ) 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 orburns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or 
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit 
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk 
ofinjury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature 
above 130°C may causeexplosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature 
range specified in the instructions. Charging 
improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range 
may damage the battery and increase the risk offire.
