Safety instructions for sabre saws
 Hold the power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. The cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
 Keep hands away from the sawing area.
Do not grip under the workpiece. Risk of
injury if contact is made with the saw blade!
 Guide the power tool only when it is
switched on against the workpiece.
Otherwise there is the risk of kickback if the
cutting accessory snags in the workpiece.
 Make sure the cutting support always
rests on the workpiece when sawing. The
saw blade may snag, causing the operator
to lose control of the power tool.
 After completing the cutting operation,
switch off the power tool and withdraw
the saw blade from the cut only after the
blade has come to a complete stop. In
this way, you will avoid any kickback and
you can now safely put the power tool
down.
 Use only undamaged saw blades that
are in perfect condition. Bent or blunt saw
blades may break or cause a kickback.
 After switching off, do not attempt to
brake the saw blade by applying lateral
counterpressure. The saw blade may
incur damage, break or cause a kickback.
 Clamp the material so that it is firmly
secured. Do not support the workpiece
with your hand or foot. Do not touch any
objects or the ground with the saw while it
is running. Risk of kickback!
 Do not use the power tool if it has
a damaged power cord. Do not touch
the damaged power cord and pull out
the mains plug if the power cord is
damaged during work. Damaged power
cords increase the risk of an electric
shock.
