1. Важная інфармацыя па бяспецы
Always observe fundamental safety precautions when operating power tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and serious injury. Retain these instructions for future reference.
- Бяспека ў рабочай зоне: Падтрымлівайце працоўнае месца ў чысціні і добра асветленым. Захламленыя або цёмныя месцы могуць прывесці да няшчасных выпадкаў. Не выкарыстоўвайце электраінструменты ў выбуханебяспечных асяроддзях, напрыклад, у прысутнасці лёгкаўзгаральных вадкасцей, газаў або пылу.
- Электрабяспека: Пазбягайце кантакту цела з заземленымі паверхнямі. Не падвяргайце электраінструменты ўздзеянню дажджу або вільготных умоў. Трапленне вады ў электраінструмент павялічвае рызыку паражэння электрычным токам.
- Асабістая бяспека: Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask when operating the saw. Secure loose clothing, jewelry, and long hair. Stay alert and use common sense.
- Выкарыстанне інструмента і догляд за ім: Не перагружайце электраінструмент. Выкарыстоўвайце адпаведны электраінструмент для вашай задачы. Адключайце акумулятарную батарэю ад электраінструмента перад тым, як рабіць якія-небудзь рэгуляванні, замяняць аксэсуары або захоўваць электраінструмент.
- Reciprocating Saw Specific Safety: Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Always ensure the workpiece is securely clampрэд.

4. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі
4.1 Уключэнне і выключэнне
The saw is activated by pressing the large variable speed trigger. The cutting speed is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to the trigger. Release the trigger to turn the saw off.
4.2 Adjusting Pendulum Stroke
The pendulum stroke function can be activated or deactivated via a switch on the tool body. Activating the pendulum stroke increases cutting speed, particularly in softer materials like wood, but may result in a rougher cut. Deactivate for finer cuts or harder materials.
