1. Informazzjoni Importanti dwar is-Sigurtà

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.

• Sigurtà taż-Żona tax-Xogħol: Żomm iż-żona tax-xogħol nadifa u mdawwla sew. Żoni imbarazzati jew mudlama jistiednu inċidenti. Tħaddimx għodod tal-enerġija f'atmosferi splussivi, bħal fil-preżenza ta' likwidi, gassijiet jew trab fjammabbli.
• Sigurtà Elettrika: Evita kuntatt tal-ġisem ma' uċuħ ertjati jew imwaħħlin mal-art. Tesponix għodod tal-elettriku għax-xita jew għal kundizzjonijiet imxarrbin. L-ilma li jidħol f'għodda tal-elettriku jżid ir-riskju ta' xokk elettriku.
• Sigurtà Personali: 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.
• Użu u Kura tal-Għodda: Tisforzax l-għodda tal-enerġija. Uża l-għodda tal-enerġija korretta għall-applikazzjoni tiegħek. Skonnettja l-pakkett tal-batterija mill-għodda tal-enerġija qabel ma tagħmel xi aġġustamenti, tibdel l-aċċessorji, jew taħżen l-għodda tal-enerġija.
• 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 clamped.
