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
Personal safety
▶ Use the power tool only when it is in technically faultless condition.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the tool in any way.
▶ Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶ Suitable protective glasses, ear protection and protective gloves must be worn while the power tool is in
use.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a risk
of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) incorporated in the power tool and do not direct the light
at other persons' faces. This presents a risk of dazzling or eye damage.
▶ Before beginning the work, check the hazard classification of the dust that will be produced. Use an
industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection classification in compliance with locally
applicable dust protection regulations.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as
carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust, especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos may be handled only by specialists.
▶ Take breaks between working and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.
Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous
system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool may give you an electric shock if you damage an electric cable
accidentally.
Careful handling and use of electric tools
▶ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped in a vice or secured by some other clamping device is more
secure than when held only by hand.
Special safety instructions for jig saws
▶ Always guide the product away from your body when working with it.
▶ Never position your hands ahead of or on the saw blade.
▶ Never cut into unknown materials and keep the line of cut above and below the workpiece free of
obstacles.
▶ Never reach or grip below the workpiece while cutting.
2.4 Battery use and care
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C.
▶ Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact, have been dropped from a height
or show signs of damage. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. Put the battery in a place where it is clearly visible
and where there is no risk of fire, at an adequate distance from flammable materials. Allow the battery to
cool down. If it is still too hot to touch after an hour, the battery is faulty. Contact Hilti Service.
