The power tool has double insulation, which means
that all external metal parts are insulated from the
electrical components. Therefore, in accordance with, no
ground connection is required. However, double insulation
does not replace normal safety precautions, which must be
observed when using the tool.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or use it in wet or moist
environments. The presence of water in a power tool
increases the risk of damage to the power tool and electric
shock to the user.
Only hold the power tool by its insulated surfaces, which
prevent electric shock if the power tool comes into contact
with hidden wires during use.
Do not use power tools in explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite liquids,
gases, or dust.
Ensure the reciprocating saw is only used by users who
have familiarized themselves with the instruction manual.
To ensure that you operate the reciprocating saw safely,
before beginning to operate it, make sure that:
▪ Inspect the tool before each use. Check that the blades
are assembled correctly and in good condition. In case
there is excessive damage or wear, replace the blades;
▪ Check that all fixing screws are properly screwed.
Regular inspection is important to ensure the safety and
performance of the power tool;
▪ Check the condition of the blades. Never use blades that
are warped, deformed, or any other defect;
▪ After the blades' assembly and before using the tool, test
at full speed without load for a while. Check for cutting
blade misalignment or any other condition that may
affect the tool operation. Check that all moving parts
rotate smoothly and without abnormal noises;
▪ Check that the safety devices are in perfect condition
and work properly. Never use the power tool if the safety
devices are missing, inhibited, damaged or worn out;
▪ If the "ON/OFF" switch is damaged or does not allow the
operation of the tool to be controlled, it must be repaired
or replaced in order to prevent unintentional starting of
the tool.
Make all adjustments and work necessary for the correct
assembly of the power tool, if you have any questions or
difficulties, contact your official dealer.
Keep third parties away from the power tool's
operation area. Never work while animals or people,
especially children, are in the danger zone.
Keep the work area clean, organized and well lit (250 to 300
lux light), thus decreasing the risk of accidents.
Always wear personal protective equipment and clothing.
Wearing a visor or goggles, dust mask, hearing protection,
anti-slip safety shoes, long-sleeved clothing, gloves and
helmet properly reduces the risk of injury.
Clothing worn during use of the machine must be
adequate, tight and closed, for example, a work boilersuit.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts.
The use of the tool causes high load of vibrations
which can cause damage to the circulatory and
nervous systems, especially in people with circulatory
problems. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur that
may be caused by vibrations. These symptoms, which occur
mainly in the fingers, hands or wrists, include, for example,
loss of sensation, pain, muscle weakness, discoloration of
the skin or unpleasant tingling.
When operating the machine, plan breaks and avoid
operating the machine for long periods of time. Permanent
vibrations are harmful to health.
The control and safety devices installed in the power tool
must not be removed or inhibited.
The following precautions and procedures should also be
followed to avoid accidents:
▪ The rated speed of the cutting blades must be equal to
the maximum speed mentioned in the technical
specifications of the power tool;
▪ When using the reciprocating saw, place yourself in a
stable position and always keep your balance. Hold the
reciprocating saw firmly to ensure continuous operation
and withstand unexpected situations;
