▶ 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. Keep your
second hand on the auxiliary handle or the motor housing. When both
hands are on the saw they cannot be injured by it.
▶ Use the product only when it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching
the accessory tool presents a risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Before starting work, check the hazard class of the dust that will be pro-
duced when working. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially
approved protection class in compliance with the locally applicable dust
protection regulations. Dust from materials such as lead-based paint,
certain types of wood and concrete/masonry/stone containing quartz,
minerals or metal can be harmful to health.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, if necessary, wear
a respirator appropriate for the type of dust generated. Contact with
or inhalation of the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory
or other diseases among operators or bystanders. Only specialists are
permitted to handle material containing asbestos.
▶ Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
▶ Never hold the workpiece with your hand or across your leg. Secure the
workpiece in a sturdy holder.
▶ Always hold the power tool firmly with both hands on the handles provided
for the purpose and position your arms to absorb kickback forces.
▶ Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶ 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.
▶ 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
