cordless sabre saw PRCS 10-20V
•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery 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.
•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.
•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.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•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.
•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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Battery tool
use and care
•Recharge only with 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.
•Use power tools only with specifically designed battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
•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.
•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.
•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 of injury.
•Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C may cause explosion.
•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 outsides the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Service
•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.
•Never service damaged battery pack.
Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety warnings for reciprocating saws
•Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed 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 workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Device-specific safety warnings for sabre saws
• Use appropriate detection equipment to track down
concealed supply lines or consult the local utility
companies. Contact with electrical lines may result in fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line may lead to an
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage and may cause an electric shock.
•Vibrations can be harmful to the human hand-arm
system. Keep the vibration exposure time to a minimum.
•Clean the shank of the saw blade before inserting it.
A dirty shank cannot be fastened securely.
•Check the saw blade for tight fit.
A loose saw blade could fall out and injure you.
