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.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.
3) Personal safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
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 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.
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.
h) 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.
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.

Specific Safety

Jigsaw Safety
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point
receptacle, outlet etc.) 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 serious injury to the user, and 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.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"
wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade below
the workpiece.
• Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a
stable platform. It is important to support the work properly to minimise body exposure, blade
binding, or loss of control.
For safety relating to protective clothing/equipment and general health hazards relating to
power tools; refer to General and Electrical Safety sections in this manual
• Do not let anyone below 18 years of age operate this jigsaw
• Ensure there is adequate lighting
• Rags, cloths, cord and string etc should not be left around the work area
• Keep the area free of tripping hazards
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all embedded objects before starting work
• Support or clamp the workpiece to avoid vibration, and ensure a good cut
• See specification section of this manual for the correct type of blade. Incorrect blades may
not be secured correctly, causing a safety hazard
• Only use blades that are in good condition
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch off before
looking up
• Keep your hands away from the underside of the workpiece
• Ensure that an appropriate blade is used for the material being cut Ensure all supports and
power cables are completely clear of the cutting path
• Where guards exist, ensure they are in place
• Do not put pressure on the tool. Allow the blade to cut at its own pace. This will produce better
results and maximise the service life of the tool
• Before cutting, check that there is sufficient clearance for the blade under the workpiece
• Always keep the shoe pressed against the workpiece
• Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the specifications section of this manual
• Do not force the blade to bend or twist whilst cutting
• If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece, allow the blade to come to a complete stop
before lifting it from the workpiece
• Do not use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the blade
• Do not reach over the blade to remove waste or off-cuts
• Blades heat up during use. Allow to cool completely before handling
• If a blade jams, disconnect the tool from the power supply prior to releasing the blade
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings, tighten where necessary
