accessory contacting a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.

• Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.

When sawing, the base plate 2 must always faces against the workpiece. The saw blade can become wedged and lead to loss of control over the

machine.

• When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has come to a standstill. In this manner

you can avoid kick- back and can place own the machine securely.

• Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect condition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively influence the cut, or lead to

kickback.

• Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be dam- aged, break or cause kickback.

• Clamp material well. Do not support the workpiece with your hand or foot. Do not touch objects or the floor with the saw running. Danger of

kickback.

• Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with

electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage.

• When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with

both hands.

• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

• Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the

power tool.

Features

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is

switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level

over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of

vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

In addition to the safe use of tools, these should also be noted:

1. Please check the saw blade carefully before use. There should be no cracks and broken teeth. The date of

the saw blade delivery should be within one year.

2. Before resaw operation, check that the blade direction is consistent with the direction indicated in the

instructions.

3. In the process, do not force too hard, do not make the blade hit, so as to avoid the blade rupture caused

casualties. When using reciprocating saw for cutting, do not swing the saw blade horizontally.

4. In the process of use, in case of any of the following circumstances, the user must immediately cut off the

power supply, to find out the cause, after the maintenance of normal use.

a. The transmission parts are stuck, speed fell sharply and suddenly stopped rotating.

b. There is an abnormal force or sound, temperature rose too high or there is an unusual smell. the saw

blade is split.

c. The commutator spark is too large and there are sparks.

operation. To save energy, only switch the power tool on when using it. The lithium-ion battery is protected

against deep discharging with the Electronic Cell Protection (ECP) function. When the battery is empty, the

power tool is switched OFF by means of a protective circuit: The tool will no longer rotate.

3. Do not continue to press the ON/OFF switch after the power tool has been automatically switched OFF. The

battery could get damaged.

Controlling the Stroke Rate

•

Increasing or reducing the pressure on the ON/OFF switch enables stepless stroke-rate control of the power

tool.

•

Light pressure on the ON/OFF switch will result in a low stroke rate. Increasing the pressure will increase the

stroke rate. The required stroke rate is dependent on the material and the working conditions and can be

determined by a practical trial. Reducing the stroke rate is recommended when the saw blade engages in

the material as well as when sawing plastic and aluminium material.

•

After longer periods of work at low stroke rate, the power tool can heat up considerably. Allow it to cool down

by running it for approx. 3 minutes at maximum stroke rate.

•

Temperature Dependent Overload Protection: When using as intended for, the power tool will not be

subjected to overloads. When the load is too high or the allowable battery temperature of 50°C has been

exceeded, the electronic control switches OFF the power tool until the temperature is in the optimum

temperature range again.

Work Tips

•

Before any work on the power tool itself (e. g. maintenance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport

and storage, remove the battery from the power tool. There is danger of injury when unintentionally

starting the power tool.

•

When sawing light building materials, observe the statutory provisions and the recommendations of the

material suppliers.

•

Check wood, press boards, building materials, etc. for foreign objects such as nails, screws or similar

material, and always use the correct saw blade.

•

Switch the power tool ON and guide it toward the workpiece. Position the base plate onto the surface of the

work and saw through the material, applying uniform contact pressure and feed. After completing the

working procedure, switch the machine OFF.

•

If the saw blade should jam, switch the power tool OFF immediately. Slightly widen the gap with a suitable

tool and pull out the power tool.

Pivoting Footplate

Due to its movability, the adjustable foot (2) adapts to the required angular position of the surface.

Plunge Cutting

•

The plunge cutting procedure is only suitable for cutting soft materials such as wood, plaster boards, and

other similar materials. Do not work with metallic materials with the plunge cutting procedure!

•

Use only short saw blades for plunge cutting.

Flush Cuts

•

Using elastic bimetal saw blades, items still attached to a wall (e. g. projecting building elements such as

water pipes, etc.) can be sawn off flush at the wall.

•

Ensure that the saw blade always extends beyond the diameter of the material being worked. There is a

danger of kickback. Position the saw blade directly against the wall and apply some lateral pressure via the

tool until the footplate faces against the wall. Switch the power tool ON and saw through the workpiece,

applying constant lateral pressure.

RS3 Reciprocating Saw Kit

Coolant/Lubricant

•

When sawing metal, the coolant/lubricant should be applied alongside the cutting line because of the

material heating up.

•

Protect the battery against moisture and water. Store the battery only within a temperature range between -

20 and 50°C. As an example, do not leave the battery inside a car during the summer.

Lithium Battery Care and Maintenance

Top 3 Battery Care Requirements

1. Charge battery before first use. The battery may arrive with some charge, regardless of this the

battery must be charged for one hour on the initial charge and one hour for each subsequent charge.

2. Charge battery immediately when it is depleted. Do not store a depleted battery. This will

permanently impact the life of the battery. If the battery is going to be stored for a period of time, fully

charge the battery before storing.

3. Disconnect battery when not in use. To prolong the life of a battery, disconnect it from the unit

when not in use. Disconnect chargers from the battery once charged.

To ensure the battery maintains optimum performance, follow the guidelines outlined below.

•

For best results, charge batteries in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C

•

When battery is charged, disconnect the charger from the power supply and remove the battery from the

charger.

•

If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, and the battery has no charge remaining

when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a

new battery.

•

Use only with the battery charger specified by the manufacturer.

•

Ensure that the battery charger electrical cord is not subjected to damage or stress. Do not operate the

battery charger if it has a damaged electrical cord or plug.

•

Do not use the charger in wet areas or expose it to rain or water.

•

The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles,

whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully

recharged again

•

Explosion hazard – protect the battery against heat; for example, direct sunlight and fire. Do not store

batteries in vehicles or locations subject to heat.

•

Batteries can explode in the presence of an ignition source, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of

serious personal injury, never use any cordless product in the presence of open ﬂame. Exploding batteries

can propel debris and chemicals.

•

Do not open the battery – danger of short-circuiting and/or explosion.

•

Do not attempt to destroy or disassemble the battery pack or remove any of its components.

•

Do not touch the battery terminals with metal objects and/or body parts as short-circuit and/or personal injury

may result.

•

Explosion hazard – do not open and/or short-circuit the battery.

•

Poison hazard – battery leakage (liquid ejection). Under extreme conditions, liquid may be ejected from the

battery – avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, immediately seek medical attention, and flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes, immediately seek medical attention, flush with clean water for at least 10

minutes. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

•

Dispose of non-serviceable batteries in an environmentally responsible manner and according to local

regulations.

Failure to adhere to the requirements above may result in the battery becoming inoperative or battery life being

reduced. In extreme cases or abuse, battery overheating or fire may result.
