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. 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.
5)Battery tool use and care
a) 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.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) 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.
d) 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.
6) 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.
7) Safety Warnings for Sabre Saws
a) 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.
b) Do not use the tool with the hook without rubber covers or with damaged rubber covers. If
the rubber covers on the hook are damaged, replace the hook by a new one.
c) Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with
the saw blade can lead to injuries.
d) Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
e) When sawing without the hook, the guide plate must always face against the workpiece.
The saw blade can become wedged and lead to loss of control over the power tool.
f) When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and then pull the saw blade out of the
cut only after it has come to a standstill. In this manner you can avoid kickback and can place
down the machine securely.
g) Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect condition. Bent or dull saw blades can
break, negatively influence the cut, or lead to kickback.
h) Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side pressure after switching off. The saw
blade can be damaged, break or cause kickback.
