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 for saws
Personal safety
▶ Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the blade. Keep your second hand on the auxiliary
handle or the motor housing. When both hands are on the saw they cannot be injured by it.
▶ Use the product only when it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be produced when working. Use
an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection class in compliance with the locally
applicable dust protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint, certain types of
wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz, minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, if necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases among operators or bystanders. Only specialists are permitted to handle
material containing asbestos.
▶ Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
▶ Never hold the workpiece with your hand or across your leg. Secure the workpiece in a sturdy holder.
▶ Always hold the power tool firmly with both hands on the handles provided for the purpose and position
your arms to absorb kickback forces.
▶ Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶ Position yourself off to one side of the blade, never bring the blade into line with your body. The saw can
jump backward toward you if kickback occurs.
▶ If the saw blade binds or when you interrupt work for any reason, switch off the saw and hold it motionless
in the material until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the
workpiece or pull the saw back while the blade is in motion, as otherwise the saw could kick back.
