Safety information for
reciprocating saws
• Hold the power tool by insu-
lated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may con-
tact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessories contacting
a “live” wire may make exposed met-
al 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 your hand or
against the body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• If the power cord of this device is dam-
aged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer or their representative to avoid
safety hazards. contact the service
centre.
• Only use accessories recom-
mended by PARKSIDE. Unsuitable
accessories may cause electric shock
or fire.
Further safety instructions for
reciprocating saws

sawing area. Do not reach under-
neath the workpiece. Upon contact
with the saw blade there is a risk of in-
jury.
• Only when the power tool is
turned on should the sawing
blade be moved against the
workpiece. Otherwise, there is a risk
of kickback if the attachment tools jam
in the workpiece.
• Make sure that the footplate
is secure during sawing. A tilted
saw blade may break or cause a kick-
back.
• After you have finished work,
turn the power tool off and do
not pull the saw blade out of
the cut until it has come to a
standstill. In this way you will avoid
any kickback and can safely put down
the power tool.
• Use only undamaged saw
blades in perfect condition. Bent
or blunt saw blades can break, ad-
versely affect the cut or cause kickback.
• Do not brake the saw blade
after switching the device off
by applying side pressure. The
saw blade may be damaged, break or
cause a kickback.
• Do not touch any objects or the
ground with the saw running.
There is a risk of kickback.
• Hold the power tool tightly
