Safety Instructions For Reciprocating Saws; Additional Safety Instructions - Hilti SR 4-A22 01 Mode D'emploi Original

Battery tool use and care
▶ 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.
▶ Use power tools only with specifically designated 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 (265 °F) 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 outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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 packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
2.2

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 electric shock.
▶ 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.
2.3

Additional safety instructions

▶ Use the product only if it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product in any way.
▶ Do not use dull/blunt or damaged blades. These cause increased friction and present a high risk of the
saw blade binding or kicking back.
▶ Before beginning the work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool may become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if the blade
inadvertently cuts into a live electric cable.
▶ Secure the workpiece to a stable support. Never hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your
leg.
▶ Switch the product on only after bringing it into the working position.
▶ Always guide the power tool away from your body when working with it.
▶ Apply only moderate pressure and cut at an appropriate speed, especially when cutting large-diameter
pipes. This will help to prevent the power tool overheating.
▶ Before cutting through pipes, make sure that the pipes are empty, i.e. that they do not contain liquids.
Drain the pipes if necessary.
▶ When cutting through pipes, hold the power tool above the level of the pipe you are cutting through.
▶ The power tool incorporates no protective measures to prevent ingress of water or moisture. Liquids
running out of pipes may cause a short circuit in the power tool.
▶ Never cut into unknown materials and keep the line of cut above and below the workpiece free of
obstacles.
▶ If the saw blade strikes an object it may cause the power tool to kick back.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Always remove the battery when the power tool is not in use, before maintenance, before changing
accessory tools and before transport.
▶ Engage the transport lock before storing or transporting the power tool.
