Safety

Read this manual carefully before starting or using the device. Always store the manual in the immediate vicinity of the device or its site of use!
Warning Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
The term power tool used in the safety warnings refers to both mains-operated and battery-powered electric tools (with/ without power cable).
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical safety
• Power tool or power adapter plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as protective mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, hearing protection or tight-fitting protective clothing used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Power tool use and care
Device-specific safety warnings for sabre saws
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and / or
the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• 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.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Service
• 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.
Safety warnings for reciprocating saws
• Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal 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.
• Use appropriate detection equipment to track down
concealed supply lines or consult the local utility companies. Contact with electrical lines may result in fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line may lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage and may cause an electric shock.
• Vibrations can be harmful to the human hand-arm system. Keep the vibration exposure time to a minimum.
• Clean the shank of the saw blade before inserting it. A dirty shank cannot be fastened securely.
• Check the saw blade for tight fit. A loose saw blade could fall out and injure you.
• Before switching on the power tool, ensure that the insertion tool can move freely. If the device is switched on with a jammed insertion tool, the resulting forces can be extreme causing the device to kick out sideways.
• Do not work on moistened material or moist surfaces.
• Only hold the power tool against the workpiece when the tool is switched on and running. Otherwise there is a risk of kickbacks.
• Make sure that the guide shoe is positioned securely on the contact face during sawing. A jammed saw blade could break or cause a kickback.
• Keep your hands out of the sawing area. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. Risk of injury upon contact with the saw blade.
• Keep your hands away from lifting rod and quick- release chuck. Crushing hazard upon contact with these components.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Regularly check the quick-release chuck for wear or
damage.
• Only use intact, flawless saw blades. Bent and blunt saw blades could break or cause a kickback.
• Do not attempt to slow down the saw blade movement
by pressing against the blade from the side once the device is switched off. The saw blade could be damaged,
break or cause a kickback.
• Switch off the power tool when your operation is
completed, but do not remove the saw blade from the kerf until it has come to a standstill. This serves to
avoid a kickback, then you can put the power tool down safely.

Operating manual – sabre saw PRCS 10-850
• Immediately switch off the power tool if the insertion tool gets jammed. The power tool can lash out to the side
owing to the forces that build up consequently.
• Wait until the power tool has come to a standstill, before putting it down. The insertion tool could get caught resulting in a loss of control of the power tool.
