Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
u
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-
curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-

Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Instructions for Band Saws
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
u
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessories contact-
ing 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
u
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by your hand or against the body leaves it un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach
u
under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries.
Only bring the power tool into contact with the work-
u
piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
When the cut is completed, switch off the power tool
u
and then pull the band 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 power tool se-
curely.
Use only undamaged band-saw blades that are in per-
u
fect condition. Bent or dull band-saw blades can break
or lead to kickback.
Keep lubricants or oil away from the band-saw blade.
u
Completely wipe off excess oil before cutting. Other-
wise, the band-saw blade can slip.
Do not apply strong pressure to the band-saw blade
u
during operation. Excessive pressure can cause the
band-saw blade to slip or break. This poses a risk of in-
jury.
After switching off, do not stop the band-saw blade by
u
applying lateral pressure to it. The band-saw blade can
become damaged, break or lead to kickback.
Do not touch the band-saw blade directly after the
u
working process until after it has cooled down. The
band-saw blade becomes very hot while working.
Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make
u
sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be
more securely guided with both hands.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
