Unpacking

Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your power tool is faulty or that a part is
missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the
fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

Assembly

The sabre saw is delivered fully assembled except for the blade. The blade is selected depending
on the application (sawing metal, wood, chipboard, plastics, etc.), and then is mounted onto the ma-
chine.

.WArNING:.read.all.safety.warnings.and.all.instructions..Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions 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.
1) 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 flam-
mable.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.
2).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 ground-
ed.
c) Do.not.expose.power.tools.to.rain.or.wet.conditions..Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
3) 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

sonal injury.
b) 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.
c) Prevent.unintentional.starting..ensure.the.switch.is.in.the.off-position.before.connect-
ing.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 ac-
cidents.
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, clothing and
