Reciprocating Saw Safety

• Ensure that lighting is adequate
• Keep the area free of tripping hazards
• Wear appropriate safety equipment including eye protection
and gloves to protect against vibration
• Never saw near combustible liquids or gases
• Check for hidden wiring and pipes before sawing
• Use recommended blades only
• Blades must be sharp and not cracked or distorted
• Before starting work, inspect the workpiece and remove all
embedded objects such as nails, screws etc
• Support and secure the workpiece correctly
• When cutting cylindrical wood, use clamps that prevent the workpiece from turning
• Use the insulated handles when operating power tools. This protects the operator if the
tool accidentally cuts through hidden electrical wiring, causing the tool to become 'live'
• Always stand to one side when operating the saw
• Do not use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close to the blade
• Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off-cuts
• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade until the machine
has been disconnected from the power
• Do not attempt to slow or stop a blade with any object. Let the blade come to rest naturally
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete
the process and switch off before looking up
• Periodically check the tool for loose nuts, bolts and tighten as necessary
Hold 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 work by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Battery and charger safety features
The battery and charger are fitted with a number of safety features
which may be triggered during charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when the battery has
reached full charge capacity, protecting the internal components of the battery
• Over-discharge protection: Prevents the battery from discharging
beyond the recommended lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the battery becomes too hot during operation.
This can happen if the tool is overloaded or being used for extended periods of time. Up
to 30 minutes' cooling time may be required depending on the ambient temperature
• Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or the
maximum current draw is exceeded, protecting the internal components.
The battery will resume normal operation when the current draw
returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few seconds
• Short circuit protection: The battery will stop working immediately if a
short circuit occurs, this prevents damage to the battery or tool
• WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended
that this tool is ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device
(RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
