Safety Instructions

General Safety Instructions for Power Tools

⚠️ WARNING! Read all safety instructions, instructions, illustrations, and technical data provided with this power tool. Failure to follow the instructions may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Work Area Safety:

• Keep your work area clean and well-lit.
• Do not operate the power tool in explosive atmospheres, where flammable liquids, gases, or dust are present.
• Keep children and other persons away while operating the power tool.

Electrical Safety:

• Ensure your power tool plug fits the socket. Do not modify the plug.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (pipes, heaters, ranges, refrigerators).
• Keep power tools away from rain or moisture.
• Do not use the power cord for carrying, hanging, or pulling the plug. Keep it away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
• Use extension cords suitable for outdoor use when working outdoors.
• Use a residual current device (RCD) in damp environments.

Personal Safety:

• Stay alert, pay attention to what you are doing, and use common sense. Do not use the tool if tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, and hearing protection.
• Ensure the tool is switched off before connecting to power or battery, or before picking it up or carrying it.
• Remove adjustment tools or wrenches before switching on the tool.
• Maintain a secure footing and balance at all times.
• Wear appropriate clothing. Avoid loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair that could be caught by moving parts.
• If dust extraction or collection facilities can be fitted, ensure they are connected and used correctly.
• Do not become complacent; follow safety rules even with familiarity.

Using and Handling the Power Tool:

• Do not overload the tool. Use the correct tool for your task.
• Do not use a tool with a defective switch.
• Disconnect the power plug or remove the battery pack before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
• Store unused power tools out of the reach of children.
• Care for the tool and accessories. Check for proper function of moving parts, breakage, or damage. Have damaged parts repaired before use.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
• Use the tool, accessories, etc., according to these instructions, considering the working conditions and the task.
• Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

Using and Handling the Battery Tool:

• Charge batteries only with chargers recommended by the manufacturer.
• Use only the intended batteries in the power tools.
• Keep batteries away from metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal items that can bridge the contacts.
• Avoid contact with battery fluid if it leaks. Rinse with water if accidental contact occurs. Seek medical attention if fluid gets into eyes.
• Do not use damaged or modified batteries.
• Do not expose batteries to fire or excessive heat (over 130°C).
• Follow all charging and battery instructions. Do not charge outside specified temperature ranges.

Service:

• Have your power tool repaired only by qualified personnel using original spare parts.
• Never service damaged batteries. Battery servicing should only be done by the manufacturer or authorized service centers.

Safety Instructions for Sabre Saws

• Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing work where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a live wire can energize metal parts and cause electric shock.
• Secure the workpiece with clamps or a vise. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body can lead to instability and loss of control.
• Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach under the workpiece.
• Only guide the tool against the workpiece when it is switched on. Kickback can occur if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
• Ensure the footplate is always in contact with the workpiece during sawing. This prevents blade jamming and loss of control.
• Switch off the tool after completing the work and wait for the saw blade to stop completely before removing it from the cut. This prevents kickback and allows safe storage.
• Use only undamaged, perfect saw blades. Bent or dull blades can break, affect the cut, or cause kickback.
• Do not brake the saw blade by pressing sideways after switching off. This can damage or break the blade, or cause kickback.
• Secure the material firmly. Do not support the workpiece with your hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the ground with the running saw.
• Use suitable detection devices to locate hidden supply lines or ask the local utility company. Contact with electrical lines can cause electric shock and fire; contact with gas lines can cause explosion. Damaging a water pipe can cause property damage and electric shock.
• Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and ensure a secure stance.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece held by clamping devices or a vise is held more securely than by hand.
• Wait until the power tool has come to a standstill before putting it down. The cutting tool can jam and lead to loss of control.
• Do not saw materials (e.g., lead-based paints, lacquers, or asbestos-containing material) whose dust is hazardous to health.

Vibration and Noise Reduction:

• Limit usage time, use low-vibration operating modes, and wear PPE to reduce vibration and noise effects.
• Use the product only as intended and described.
• Ensure the product is in good condition and well-maintained.
• Use the correct saw blades and ensure they are in good condition.
• Hold the product securely by the handles.
• Maintain the product according to instructions and ensure adequate lubrication.
• Plan your work to distribute high-vibration tasks over a longer period.

Emergency Response:

• Familiarize yourself with the manual and safety instructions.
• Stay alert and act quickly to prevent serious injuries or damage.
• Switch off the product immediately in case of malfunction and remove the battery pack. Have it checked and repaired by a qualified technician before reuse.

Residual Risks:

• Health damage from vibration emissions if used for extended periods without proper guidance or maintenance.
• Personal injury and property damage from defective cutting tools or sudden impact with hidden objects.
• Risk of injury and property damage from flying objects.

• Saw with even pressure in a steady forward motion. You can cut horizontally, diagonally, or vertically.
• After finishing work: Switch off the product first. Then, pull the saw blade out of the workpiece.

Plunge Cutting (Diagram J)

Plunge cutting is an advanced technique with a higher risk of injury. Only perform this technique if you are familiar with it. Plunge cuts should only be made in soft materials like wood or plasterboard using short saw blades (max. 150 mm). There is a risk of kickback and injury.

• Place the front edge of the footplate (4) onto the workpiece so that the saw blade does not touch it.
• Switch on the product. Let the saw blade slowly plunge into the workpiece.
• Once the workpiece depth is cut through, continue sawing as usual.

Flush Cutting (Diagram K)

With flexible bimetal saw blades, you can cut pipes flush to the wall, for example. Ensure the saw blade is always longer than the pipe diameter. There is a risk of kickback and injury.

Battery/Akku Disposal

⚠️ Environmental Damage from Improper Disposal of Batteries/Accumulators!

❌ The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on batteries or accumulators means they must not be disposed of in household waste. Remove batteries/accumulator packs from the product before disposal. They may contain toxic heavy metals and are subject to special waste treatment. Chemical symbols for heavy metals: Cd = Cadmium, Hg = Mercury, Pb = Lead.

You are legally obliged to return used batteries and accumulators. Return used batteries and accumulators free of charge to retail outlets, e.g., your LIDL store, or to a municipal collection point.

Batteries and accumulators may contain substances harmful to human health and the environment. Separate collection and recycling of old batteries and accumulators help prevent negative environmental impacts.

Be particularly careful when handling lithium-containing batteries and accumulators, as improper use can increase the risk of fire. Tape the poles to prevent external short circuits.

Use long-life batteries or accumulators to reduce waste. Observe storage instructions and avoid complete discharge/charge to prolong lifespan.

Do not leave batteries or electrical/electronic equipment with batteries or accumulators in public spaces to avoid littering. Explore options for reusing batteries instead of disposing of them, e.g., through repair.
