the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand. The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Use and handling of the cord-
less electrical power tool
a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit
using only the charger recommended
by the manufacturer. Chargers are often
designed for a particular type of rechargeable
battery unit. There is the danger of fire if other
types of rechargeable battery units are used.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units
supplied are to be used with an elec-
trical power tool. The use of other recharge-
able battery units may lead to the danger of
injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store
rechargeable battery units away from
paperclips, coins, keys. nails, screws
or other small metal objects that could
cause the contacts to be bridged. Short-
circuiting the contacts of a rechargeable battery
unit may result in heat damage or fire.
d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable
battery units if they are misused. If this
happens, avoid contact with the fluid.
If contact occurs, flush the affected area
with water. Seek additional medical
help if any of the fluid gets into your
eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause skin
irritation or burns.
CAUTION! DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
The batteries must never be recharged!

6. Service

a) Have your device repaired at the ser-
vice centre or by qualified specialist
personnel using original manufacturer
parts only. This will ensure that your device
remains safe to use.

General safety advice for electrical power tools
S afety notices specific
to sabre saws
To prevent the risk of injury and fire, as
well as health hazards:
Hold the tool by the insulated handles
when performing work where the tool
may hit hidden electrical wires. Contact
with a live wire could cause metal parts of the
tool to become live and lead to electric shock.
Use suitable detectors in order to search
for hidden supply lines, or consult your
local power authority. Contact with elec-
tric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damage to a gas line can result in explosion.
Breaking a water line causes property damage.
Keep you hands away from the area
of the saw blade. Do not grip the un-
derside of the work piece. Contact with
the saw blade may result in injury.
Keep hands away from the lifting rod
and the quick-action blade clamp. Con-
tact with components poses a crushing risk.
Always switch on the power tool be-
fore placing it against the work piece.
There is also the risk of kickback if the power
tool becomes caught in the work piece.
Be sure the guide plate touches the
work piece when sawing without
holding bracket. The saw blade could catch,
resulting in losing control over the power tool.
After finishing work switch off the
power tool and only remove the saw
blade from the cut once it has stopped.
This will prevent kickback and allows you to
safely put down the power tool.
Only use undamaged, defect-free saw
blades. Bent or dull saw blades can brake,
negatively impact the cut or cause kickback.
After switching off do not stop the saw
blade by pressing it sideways against
an object. The saw blade could be damaged,
brake, or cause kickback.
Secure the material well. Do not sup-
port the work piece with your hand or
foot. Do not touch objects or the ground
with the saw running. Risk of kickback.
