L Proper use  
The tool is intended for sawing, cutting to length  
or trimming of securely supported objects made  
of wood, plastic and building materials. The sabre  
saw is suitable for rough sawing work, straight and  
curved cuts and sawing flush.  
Please heed the information on saw blades and the  
advice on ways of working.  
The tool is not intended for commercial use. Any other  
use or modification of the tool shall be considered as  
improper use and could give rise to considerable risk  
of accident. The manufacturer will not accept liability  
for loss or damage arising from improper use.

Attention! The following fundamental safety  
measures are to be observed for your protection  
against electrocution and the dangers of personal  
injury or fire when using electrical hand tools.  
Read and take note of these safety instructions  
before using the appliance for the first time, and  
have them readily available at all times. Failure  
to strictly observe these safety instructions  
could lead to electrocution, fire and/or serious  
personal injury.

Damaged appliances, power cables

through electrocution.  
J
J
Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Disorder  
and poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.  
Do not use this appliance in areas where there is  
a potential danger of explosions of inflammable  
liquids, gases or dust. Electrical hand tools produce  
sparks which could ignite the dust or vapours.  
When using electrical tools, ensure  
Regularly check the condition of appliances,  
power cables, power plugs and, if required,  
chargers and power packs.  
Never take an appliance that has damaged  
components into operation. Immediately remove  
the plug from the socket.  
Warning! Never open the appliance.  
Arrange for repairs and parts-exchanges to be  
carried out only by the service department or an  
electrical specialist.

of distraction you could lose control over the  
appliance.  
L Electrical Safety  
L Safety of Personnel  
Avoid fatal risks through electrocution:  
J
Always be attentive and always be aware of  
what you are doing. Work sensibly with an  
electrical hand tool. Do not use the appliance if  
you are unconcentrated or tired or influenced  
by drugs, alcohol or medications. Just a simple  
lapse of attention in the use of an electrical  
hand tool is sufficient to lead to serious injuries.  
Wear personal protection equipment  
J
J
The connecting plug of the appliance must fit  
into the plug socket. Under no circumstances  
may the plug be altered. Do not use adapter plugs  
together with earthing-protected appliances.  
Unmodified plugs and suitable wall sockets  
reduce the risk of electrocution.  
Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces, such  
as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrigerators.  
There is an increased risk of electrocution if  
your body is earthed.  
Warning! Protect the appliance from rain and  
moisture. The entry of water into an electrical  
appliance increases the risk of electrocution.  
Do not misuse the electrical cable, e.g. to carry  
the appliance, suspend it in storage or to pull  
the plug from the socket. Keep the cable away  
from heat, oil, sharp edges or appliance com-  
ponents in motion. Damaged plugs or tangled  
cables increase the risk of electrocution.  
Caution! Regularly check the connections of  
electrical hand tools and, if damage is discovered,  
arrange for them to be repaired by a recognised  
specialist.  
J
and always a pair of protective  
glasses. The wearing of personal  
protection equipment, such as a dust mask,  
anti-slip safety shoes, protective gloves, hard  
hat and hearing protectors, dependant on the  
type of electrical hand tool and its employment,  
reduces the risk of injuries.  
Avoid unintentional operation of the appliance.  
Ensure that the switch is in the „OFF“ Position  
before inserting the plug into the power socket.  
If you have a finger on the ON/OFF switch when  
carrying the appliance, or plug it in when it is  
already switched on, this can lead to serious  
accidents.  
Remove the adjusting tool or screwdriver before  
switching the appliance on. A tool or key that  
is in a revolving motor component could, when  
thrown out, lead to potentially serious injuries.  
Do not overestimate yourself. Ensure that you  
are standing firmly and maintain your balance  
at all times. You can thus control the appliance  
better, especially in unexpected situations.  
J

J
When working outdoors, only use extension  
cables that are approved for use outdoors. The  
use of an extension cable suitable for employ-  
ment outdoors reduces the risk of electrocution.

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing  
and gloves well away from moving components.  
Wear a hairnet if you have long hair. Loose, not  
well-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can  
become caught up in moving components.  
Use dust suction and/or collection units if these  
can be assembled. Thereby take note that the  
dust collection units fitted must be suitable for  
this particular area of application. The correct  
use of these equipments reduces potential  
dangers caused by dust.  
J
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully  
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting  
edges jam less often and are easier to guide.  
Keep hand grips dry, clean and free from oil  
and grease.  
Use electrical hand tools, accessories or ancil-  
lary components only in accordance with these  
instructions and in such a manner as is detailed  
for the particular types of appliance. Take con-  
sideration thereby of the working conditions and  
the task to be completed. The use of electrical  
hand tools for purposes other than those origi-  
nally intended can lead to dangerous situations.  
J
J
Immobilise the workpiece securely. Use clamps/  
vices to firmly hold the workpiece. It is thus better  
secured than just with your hand.

qualified specialists and only with original spare  
parts. Thus, you can be certain that the safety of  
your appliance is assured.  
It works better and safer in the pre-determined  
area of performance.  
J
Permit the exchange of plugs and power cables  
to be carried out only by the manufacturer of the  
hand tool or his authorised customer service.  
Thus, you can be certain that the safety of your  
appliance is assured.  
J
J
J
Never use an electrical hand tool that has a  
defective switch. An electrical hand tool that can  
no longer be switched on or off is dangerous  
and must be repaired before being used.  
Remove the plug from the socket before making  
adjustments on the appliance, changing ancillaries L Original ancillaries/and accessories  
or putting it into storage. These precautions pre-  
vent the unintentional starting of the appliance.  
Store unused electrical hand tools out of the  
reach of children. Do not permit individuals to  
use appliances if they are not informed about  
the interaction with them or they have not read  
these instructions. Electrical hand tools can be  
dangerous when in the hands of inexperienced  
people.  
j
Use only the ancillaries and accessories detailed  
in the operating instructions.  
The use of ancillaries and accessories other  
than those detailed in the operating instructions  
could mean the risk of injuries for you.  
Attention - Service lines!  
J
Maintain the appliance with care. Check to see  
that all moving parts are free-running and do  
not jam. Regularly check to see if components  
are broken or so worn and/or damaged that  
they have a negative influence on the perform-
