Safety instructions
General power tool safety
warnings
m WARNING!
uRead all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations 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
1) Keep work area clean and well
lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
2) 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.
3) Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical safety
1) 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.
2) 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.

10 GB
3) Do not expose power tools to rain
or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
4) Do not abuse the cord. Never use
the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
5) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
6) If operating a power tool in a
damp location is unavoidable, use
a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
1) 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 inattention
while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
2) Use personal protective
equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3) 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.
4) 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.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
6) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.

11GB
7) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
8) 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.
Power tool use and care
1) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
2) 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.
3) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and / or the battery
pack 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.
4) 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 untrained users.
5) 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.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
7) 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.

12 GB
8) 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 unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
1) 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 battery pack.
2) Use power tools only with
specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
3) 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 a fire.
4) 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 or burns.
5) Do not use a battery pack
for tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries
exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
6) Do not expose a battery pack
or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause
explosion.
7) Follow all charging instruction and
do not charge the battery pack or
tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instruction. Charging
improperly or at temperatures outside the
specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of the fire.
Service
1) 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.
2) Never service damaged battery
packs. Service of battery packs should be
only be performed by the manufactured or
authorized service providers.
Reciprocating saws safety
warnings
1) Hold the power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the accessory
tool may contact hidden wiring.
Accessory tools contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.

13GB
2) 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 of control.
3) Keep hands away from the sawing
area. Do not reach underneath the
workpiece. Upon contact with the blade
there is a risk of injury.
4) Only when the power tool is turned
on should the sawing blade be
moved against the workpiece. There
is a risk of kickback if the accessory tool jams
in the workpiece.
5) Make sure that the base plate
is securely placed against the
workpiece during sawing. The saw
blade can tilt and lead to loss of control over
the power tool.
6) 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.
7) Use only undamaged saw blades in
perfect condition. Bent or blunt blades
can break, adversely affect the cut or cause
kickback.
8) Do not brake the saw blade after
switching the product off by
applying side pressure. The saw
blade may be damaged, break or cause a
kickback.
9) 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.
10) 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 pipe can result
in an explosion. Damage to a water pipe
can lead to property damaged and electric
shock.
11) Hold the power tool tightly with
both hands while working and
ensure a secure footing. The power
tool is guided more securely with both hands.
12) Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
that is retained with clamping products or
a vice is held more securely than with your
hand.
13) Wait until the power tool has
stopped before placing it down. The
accessory tool can tilt and lead to loss of
control over the power tool.
14) Do not saw any materials (e.g. lead-based
paints and coatings or materials containing
asbestos) whose dust can be harmful.

14 GB
