d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamil-
iar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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. Prop-
erly 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 instruc-
tions, 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 quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Jigsaws
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
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. Otherwise there is danger of kickback
when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Pay attention that the base plate 8 rests se-
curely on the material while sawing. A jammed
saw blade can break or lead to kickback.
When the cut is completed, switch off the
machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill. In
this manner you can avoid kickback and can place
down the machine securely.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent or
unsharp saw blades can break or cause kickback.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by apply-
ing side pressure after switching off. The saw
blade can be damaged, break or cause kickback.

Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the
local utility company for assistance. Contact
with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage
or may cause an electric shock.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more se-
cure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials
are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys
can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while
working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted
with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with in-
ternal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it
should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in
its place by an authorised customer service agent.
The replacement plug should have the same fuse
rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a
possible shock hazard and should never be insert-
ed into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a re-
sidual current device (RCD) with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.
