Safety Instructions For Reciprocating Saws - Skil F0154900 Serie Manual Del Usuario

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing 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) 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECIPROCATING SAWS

• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working • Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools
with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to
a 220V supply)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• SKIL can assure fl awless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool • This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the
operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask and work
with a dust extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classifi ed as carcinogenic
(such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Keep hands away from cutting area and the blade;
keep your second hand on barrel grip H 2 (if both
hands are holding the saw, they can not be cut by the
blade)
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece (the
proximity of the blade to your hand is hidden from your
sight)
• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across
your leg (it is important to support the work properly to
minimise body exposure, blade binding, or loss of
control)
• Use clamps or other equipment to secure and
support the workpiece (holding the workpiece in your
hand or against your body may lead to loss of control)
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord (contact with a
"live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and shock the operator)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fi re or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Do not use a dull or damaged blade (bent blades can
break easily or cause kickback)
• Keep hands away from between the tool housing
and blade clamp D 2 (the blade clamp can pinch your
fi ngers)
• Ensure that blade clamp D 2 is tight before making
a cut (a loose clamp may cause the tool or blade to slip
with loss of control as a result)
• Wear protective glasses and hearing protection 4
• Use protective gloves when removing the blade
from the tool (the saw blade may be hot after
prolonged use)
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this
tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended
USE
• On/off 5
• Speed control
With wheel C 2 the sawing speed can be adjusted from
low to high (6 positions)
