General power tool safety warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra-
tions and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
a Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
b Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
a Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
b Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suit-
able for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.

General power tool safety warnings
7
f If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a re-
sidual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Pro-
tective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and col-
lection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to
become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4 Power tool use and care
a Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your appli-
cation. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
b Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the bat-
tery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
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 oper-
ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
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 power tools.
f Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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 hazardous situation.
h Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe han-
dling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5 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.

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
or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work-
piece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Only use sharp, undamaged saw blades. Torn, bent or blunt blades should
be replaced immediately.
• Match the insertion tool and stroke rate to the material in question. Make
sure that the feed is even.
• Only operate the machine with a mounted saw shoe (3). When working,
the saw shoe should always rest against the workpiece.
• Always switch on the machine before introducing it to the workpiece
• Do not machine materials containing asbestos. When working with any
other materials containing fibres, use dust protection masks and extrac-
tion systems.
• If you wish to use the machine outdoors, ensure it is connected via a resid-
ual current circuit breaker. Extension cable and plug must be designated
for use outdoors.
• Do not brake the saw blade by applying pressure to the sides.
• Make sure that cables always lead away from the area of work.
• During operation, always guide the machine with both hands and ensure
that you are standing firmly.
• Never expose the machine to the rain.
• The machine should never be allowed to get wet and should not be oper-
ated in a damp environment.
• Prior to each use, check the machine, the cable and the plug. Any damage
should only be repaired by a specialist. Only plug the machine into the
socket when it is switched off.

power tool is used, and specifically, on the basis of the type of workpiece
being machined.
It is necessary to specify safety measures for the protection of the user which are
based on the vibration load incurred under conditions of real use (in doing so, all
elements of the operating cycle are to be considered, for example, times in which the
power tool is switched off, and those in which it is switched on but operating without
load).
Try to keep the load caused by vibration and noise as low as possible. Examples of
measures that may be taken to reduce the load include the wearing of gloves when
using the tool, the restriction of working times and the use of accessories that are in
good condition.
CAUTION! A certain noise load from this machine cannot
be avoided. Ensure you carry out noise-inten-
sive work during authorised permitted times. Observe any applicable
quiet periods and limit your work to the most necessary tasks.
CAUTION! The effect of noise may cause hearing damage.
Therefore, you should only work with suitable
hearing protection. Bystanders must therefore also wear suitable hear-
ing protection.

We recommend carrying out test cuts on waste materials in order to determine the
required machine settings.
CAUTION! Observe the safety notes!
CAUTION! Use a clamping device to protect the work-
piece from slipping before cutting!
Observe the information about maximum cutting depths when machi-
ning materials!
Switch the machine on, and move it towards the workpiece to be machined. Place
the saw shoe (3) on the surface of the workpiece and saw the material with even
pressure and feed. If the saw blade becomes trapped, turn the machine off imme-
diately. Use a suitable tool to open up the cut a little and remove the machine. When
you have finished working, switch off the machine and only put it down when it has
come to a complete standstill.
CAUTION! After working with a low stroke rate for a long
period of time, operate at maximum revolu-
tions in idle mode for about minutes to allow the machine to cool
down! Pay close attention to ensure that the machine and saw blade do
not cause any danger.
