Safety
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
Warning
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term power tool in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Work area
safety
•Keep work area clean and well lit.
Clutter or dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmosphere,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
•Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Electrical
safety
•Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
•Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
•Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
•Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
•When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
•If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD)
protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Personal
safety
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
•Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
•Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situation.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
•If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
•Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Power tool
use and care
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
•Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

4 EN
cordless sabre saw PRCS 10-20V
•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
•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.
•Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•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.
•Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Battery tool
use and care
•Recharge only with charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
•Use power tools only with specifically designed battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
•When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
•Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
•Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified.
Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable
behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
•Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C may cause explosion.
•Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the
battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outsides the specified range may damage
the battery and increase the risk of fire.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings– Service
•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.
•Never service damaged battery pack.
Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety warnings for reciprocating saws
•Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting 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 your hand or against the body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Device-specific safety warnings for sabre saws
• Use appropriate detection equipment to track down
concealed supply lines or consult the local utility
companies. Contact with electrical lines may result in fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line may lead to an
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage and may cause an electric shock.
•Vibrations can be harmful to the human hand-arm
system. Keep the vibration exposure time to a minimum.
•Clean the shank of the saw blade before inserting it.
A dirty shank cannot be fastened securely.
•Check the saw blade for tight fit.
A loose saw blade could fall out and injure you.

EN 5
cordless sabre saw PRCS 10-20V
•Before switching on the power tool, ensure that the
insertion tool can move freely. If the device is switched
on with a jammed insertion tool, the resulting forces can
be extreme causing the device to kick out sideways.
•Do not work on moistened material or moist surfaces.
•Only hold the power tool against the workpiece when
the tool is switched on and running.
Otherwise there is a risk of kickbacks.
•Make sure that the guide shoe is positioned securely
on the contact face during sawing.
A jammed saw blade could break or cause a kickback.
•Keep your hands out of the sawing area.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. Risk of injury
upon contact with the saw blade.
•Keep your hands away from lifting rod and quick-
release chuck.
Crushing hazard upon contact with these components.
•Ensure sufficient ventilation.

damage.
•Only use intact, flawless saw blades. Bent and blunt
saw blades could break or cause a kickback.
•Do not attempt to slow down the saw blade movement
by pressing against the blade from the side once the
device is switched off. The saw blade could be damaged,
break or cause a kickback.
•Switch off the power tool when your operation is
completed, but do not remove the saw blade from the
kerf until it has come to a standstill.
This serves to avoid a kickback, then you can put the
power tool down safely.
•Immediately switch off the power tool if the insertion
tool gets jammed. The power tool can lash out to the side
owing to the forces that build up consequently.
•Wait until the power tool has come to a standstill,
before putting it down. The insertion tool could get
caught resulting in a loss of control of the power tool.
