of the workpiece as usual and as soon as you have reached the
requested cutting depth, bring the blade into the vertical position and
continue sawing along the cutting line.
Note: Immediately switch OFF the reciprocating saw,
- if smoke or sparks are observed coming from or around the
collector resp. the rotor,
- if the reciprocating saw does not function properly or only inter-
mittently when the battery, charger, plug, power cable or switch
are damaged,
- if smoke or a strong smell of burned insulating material is ob-
served,
- if the saw blade comes loose, is crooked or damaged,
- if the motor runs irregularly or jams,
- if the saw blade jams. Slightly open the sawn split in the work-
piece and extract the saw blade. Do not try to finish the cutting
process with a jammed saw blade to avoid injury or damaging
the reciprocating saw and the saw blade.
