b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) SERVICE
a) 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECIPROCATING SAWS
GENERAL
• Be familiar with the controls and the proper use of the
tool
• The user is responsible for accidents or hazards
occurring to other people or their property
PERSONAL SAFETY
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Wear protective glasses and hearing protection
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece (the proximity
of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight)
• Keep hands away from between the tool housing
and blade clamp A 2 (the blade clamp can pinch your
fingers)
• Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade;
keep your second hand on barrel grip B 2 (if both
hands are holding the saw, they can not be cut by the
blade)
• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg (it is important to support the work properly
to minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control)
• Use clamps or other equipment to secure and
support the workpiece (holding the workpiece in your
hand or against your body may lead to loss of control)
• Use protective gloves when removing the blade
from the tool (the saw blade may be hot after prolonged
use)
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with
a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a
220V supply)
• Inspect the cord periodically and have it replaced by a
qualified person, if damaged
• Only use an extension cord which is intended for
outdoor use and equipped with a watertight plug and
coupling-socket
• Inspect the extension cord periodically and replace it,
if damaged (inadequate extension cords can be
dangerous)
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• When operating the tool use a residual current device
(RCD) with a triggering current of 30 mA maximum
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord (contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
"live" and shock the operator)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines
or call the local utility company for assistance
(contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical
shock; damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Do not run over, crush or pull the (extension) cord
• Protect the (extension) cord from heat, oil and sharp
edges
• Always switch off tool and disconnect plug from power
source if the power supply cord or the extension cord
is cut, damaged or entangled (do not touch the cord
before disconnecting the plug)
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
Do not use a dull or damaged blade (bent blades can
•
break easily or cause kickback)
