c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g) 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.
5) Service
a) 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.
Jigsaw safety
warnings
Wear hearing protection during con-
tinuous operation. Intense noise loading
during operation may damage the operator's
hearing.
During operation provide eye protec-
tion to prevent eyes from exposure to fly-
ing particles. Wear goggles.
Take protective measures against in-
halation of dust. Some materials can con-
tain toxic ingredients. Wear a dust mask
Original instructions
and work with dust/chip extraction when
connectable.
▪ Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
▪ Do not process materials containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
▪ Use of protective gloves is recommended.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool
to a power source be sure that the voltage
supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool.
▪ A power source with a voltage greater than
that specified for the tool can result in seri-
ous injury to the user, as well as damage to
the tool.
▪ If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
▪ Using a power source with a voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid
potential overheating.
▪ When an extension cable is required, you
must ensure that it has the right ampere rat-
ing for your power tool and it is in safe elec-
trical condition.
WARNING: Always switch off and
un-plug the power tool prior to any adjust-
ment, servicing or maintenance or in case of
mains drop-out.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work
whenever possible.
▪ While operating the machine, always hold it
firmly with both hands and provide for a se-
cure stance. The power tool is guided more
securely with both hands.
▪ Do not operate the jigsaw without the fence
set properly in its place.
▪ 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.
▪ When the cut is completed, switch the ma-
chine off and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill.
▪ Take care that the base plate rests securely
on the material while sawing.
