Service
▶ 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.
▶ Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
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 for saws
Personal safety
▶ Keep your hands away from the cutting area and the blade.
▶ Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
▶ Position yourself off to one side of the blade, never bring the blade into line with your body. The saw can
jump backward toward you if kickback occurs.
▶ Never use the power tool without a fully functional hand guard.
▶ If the saw blade binds or when you interrupt work for any reason, switch off the saw and hold it motionless
in the material until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the
workpiece or pull the saw back while the blade is in motion, as otherwise the saw could kick back.
▶ When restarting a saw in the workpiece, center the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth are
not in engagement with the workpiece.
▶ Use extra caution when sawing into walls or other blind areas. As it enters the material the blade might
encounter a hidden obstruction, resulting in kickback.
▶ Always use a saw blade of appropriate length. The saw blade must project beyond the workpiece
throughout the entire stroke.
▶ Do not use dull or damaged blades. These cause increased friction and present a high risk of the saw
blade binding or kicking back.
▶ Secure the workpiece in a sturdy holder. Never hold the workpiece with your hand or across your leg.
▶ Apply only moderate pressure and cut at an appropriate speed, especially when cutting large-diameter
pipes. This will help to prevent the power tool overheating.
▶ Before cutting through pipes, make sure that they are empty of medium. Drain the pipes if necessary.
▶ When cutting through pipes, hold the power tool above the level of the pipe you are cutting through.
➥ The power tool is not protected against ingress of moisture. Liquid running out of a pipe can cause a
short circuit in the power tool.
▶ Never cut into unknown materials and make sure the path of the saw is free of obstructions above and
below the workpiece.
➥ The power tool can kick back if the saw blade comes into contact with an obstructing object.
▶ Comply with the manufacturer's instructions for handling and storing saw blades.
2.4 Additional safety instructions
▶ Use the product only when it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool can become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if you
accidentally damage an electric cable.
▶ Switch the product on only after bringing it to the working position.
▶ When working with the power tool, always guide it away from your body.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Always remove the battery when the power tool is not in use, before maintenance, before changing
accessory tools and in preparation for and throughout transport.
▶ Engage the transport lock before storing or transporting the power tool.
