Safety instructions for reciprocating saws
• When performing work during which the tool at-
tachment can meet with concealed power lines or
its own connection cable, hold the power tool by
the insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with a live
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
live and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Fasten and secure the workpiece to a stable base
using clamps or other means. If the workpiece is
held only by hand or against the body, it remains un-
stable, which may result in a loss of control.
Further safety instructions for jigsaws
• Keep hands away from all moving parts Never place
your hands near the cutting area.
• Make sure that the base plate rests securely when
sawing. A tilted saw blade can break or cause kick-
back.
• Never switch on the product when the saw blade is
jammed in the workpiece or is touching the material.
• Do not use damaged or deformed saw blades.
• Do not brake the insert tool after switching off by ap-
plying counter-pressure from the side. The insert tool
can be damaged, break or cause a kickback.
• Avoid touching the insert tool or the workpiece imme-
diately after processing because they may still be very
hot and can cause skin burns.
• Check the material to be processed for foreign objects
such as nails, screws etc. and remove them.
• Do not cut oversized workpieces.
• Before processing the workpiece, ensure that there is
enough space behind the workpiece so that the insert
tool does not hit the base, workbench, etc.
• Do not leave the product unattended.
• Do not let the product idle unnecessarily.
• Wait until the electrical tool has come to a stand-
still before setting it down. The tool attachment can
get caught and this can lead to loss of control over the
electric tool.
• Secure the workpiece. Use clamping devices/bench
vice to hold the workpiece in place. In this manner, it
is held more securely than with your hand.
• Apply particular caution when sawing in existing
walls or other areas that are not visible. The plung-
ing saw blade can jam in concealed objects during
sawing and result in kickback.
Residual risks

art and the recognised technical safety rules. Howev-
er, individual residual risks can arise during opera-
tion.

tions" and the "Intended Use" together with the oper-
ating manual as a whole are observed.

WARNING
This power tool generates an electromagnetic field
during operation. This field can impair active or passive
medical implants under certain circumstances. In order
to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we rec-
ommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical
implant prior to operating the power tool.
WARNING
In case of extended working periods, the operating per-
sonnel may suffer circulatory disturbances in their
hands (vibration white finger) due to vibrations.
Raynaud's syndrome is a vascular disease that causes
the small blood vessels on the fingers and toes to
cramp in spasms. The affected areas are no longer
supplied with sufficient blood and therefore appear ex-
tremely pale. The frequent use of vibrating products can
cause nerve damage in people whose circulation is im-
paired (e.g. smokers, diabetics).
If you notice unusual adverse effects, stop working im-
mediately and seek medical advice.
ATTENTION
The product is part of the 20V IXES series and may on-
ly be operated with batteries of this series. Batteries

ries. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
Follow the safety and charging instructions
and correct usage given in the instruction
