manufacturer or authorized service providers.
2.2

Safety instructions for reciprocating saws

▶ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting 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 hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2.3

Additional safety instructions

▶ Use the product only if it is in perfect working order.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the product in any way.
▶ Do not use dull/blunt or damaged blades. These cause increased friction and present a high risk of the
saw blade binding or kicking back.
▶ Before beginning the work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool may become live, presenting a risk of electric shock, if the blade
inadvertently cuts into a live electric cable.
▶ Secure the workpiece to a stable support. Never hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your
leg.
▶ Switch the product on only after bringing it into the working position.
▶ Always guide the power tool away from your body when working with it.
▶ Apply only moderate pressure and cut at an appropriate speed, especially when cutting large-diameter
pipes. This will help to prevent the power tool overheating.
▶ Before cutting through pipes, make sure that the pipes are empty, i.e. that they do not contain liquids.
Drain the pipes if necessary.
▶ When cutting through pipes, hold the power tool above the level of the pipe you are cutting through.
▶ The power tool incorporates no protective measures to prevent ingress of water or moisture. Liquids
running out of pipes may cause a short circuit in the power tool.
▶ Never cut into unknown materials and keep the line of cut above and below the workpiece free of
obstacles.
▶ If the saw blade strikes an object it may cause the power tool to kick back.
▶ Wear protective gloves also when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a
risk of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Always remove the battery when the power tool is not in use, before maintenance, before changing
accessory tools and before transport.
▶ Engage the transport lock before storing or transporting the power tool.
▶ Observe the manufacturer's instructions regarding the handling and storage of saw blades.
2.4 Battery use and care
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of Li-ion batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶ Do not disassemble, crush or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C.
▶ Do not use or charge batteries that have suffered mechanical impact, have been dropped from a height
or show signs of damage. In this case, always contact your Hilti Service.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch it may be defective. Put the battery in a place where it is clearly visible
and where there is no risk of fire, at an adequate distance from flammable materials. Allow the battery to
cool down. If it is still too hot to touch after an hour, the battery is faulty. Contact Hilti Service.
