power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the power toolaccidentally.

d ) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrainedusers.

e ) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the power tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained powertools.

f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.

g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,

in accordance with these instructions taking into

account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardoussituation.

5) Battery tool use and care

a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with

another batterypack.

b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create

a risk of injury andfire.

c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from

other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,

nails, screws or other small metal objects that can

make a connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns

or afire.

d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact

accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause irritation orburns.

6) Service

a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool ismaintained.

Additional Safety Instructions for

Reciprocating Saws

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting accessory

may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting

a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the power tool

“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• ALWAYS wear a dust mask. Exposure to dust particles can

cause breathing difficulty and possible injury.

• Never switch on the tool when the saw blade is jammed in

the workpiece or in contact with the material.

• Keep hands away from moving parts. Never place your

hands near the cutting area.

• Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay

particular attention to overhead wires which may be

hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches

and debris ahead of time.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time.

Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may

cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use

gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and

limit daily time of use.

Switching On and Off

• After switching off, never attempt to stop the saw blade with

your fingers.

• Never put the saw down on a table or work bench unless

switched off. The saw blade will keep running briefly after the

tool has been switched off.

When Sawing

• When using saw blades specially designed for cutting wood

remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before

starting work.

• Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to fasten the

workpiece securely.

• Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.

• Do not bend too far forward. Make sure that you always stand

firmly, particularly on scaffolding and ladders.

• Always hold the saw with both hands.

• For cutting curves and pockets, use an adapted saw blade.

Checking and Changing the Saw Blade

• Only use saw blades conforming to the specifications

contained in these operating instructions.

• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working condition should

be used; cracked or bent saw blades should be discarded and

replaced at once.

• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fixed.

Residual Risks

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations

and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks

cannot be avoided. These are:

• Impairment ofhearing.

• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.

• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot

duringoperation.

• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.

Always check that the battery pack voltage corresponds to the

voltage on the rating plate. Also make sure that the voltage of

your charger corresponds to that of yourmains.

Your

DeWALT

charger is double insulated in

accordance with EN60335; therefore no earth wire

isrequired.
