GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings

and instructions 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 jigsaw

1) Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit.

•

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• 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.

• Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2) Electrical safety

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not expose power tools to rain

or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.

• 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 and moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.

• 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.

• 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

• 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 njury.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

•

Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional operation

of the device. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before
connecting to power source,
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.

• Remove any adjusting tools e.g.

allan keys before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a moving part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.

• 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.

4) Power tool use and care

• 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.

• Do not use the power tool if the
On/Off switch does not work!

Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the

power source before making
any adjustments, changing
accessories , or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.

• 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.

• Maintain power tools. 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.

•

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.

• 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

• Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY
RULES FOR YOUR
JIGSAW

• Securely support the work piece. Use

clamps or a vice to grip the work piece
firmly. This is much safer than holding it in
your hand.

• Always switch on the electric power tool

before placing it against the work piece.
There is a risk of kickback.

• Hold the power tool by the insulated

gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the insert tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with
a "live" wire can make metal parts of the
tool "live" and shock the operator. Do not
drill, fasten or break into existing walls or
other blind areas where electrical wiring
may exist. If this situation is unavoidable,
disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding the worksite.

• Never leave the trigger locked "ON".

Before plugging the tool in, check that the
trigger lock is "OFF". Accidental start-ups
can cause injury.

• Keep your hands away from the area of

the saw blade. Do not grip the underside
of the work piece. Contact with the saw
blade may result in the risk of injury.

• Make sure that the base plate ( 9) lies on

the work piece when sawing and is set to
the desired angle.

• If a dangerous situation arises, immediately

remove the plug from the mains socket.

• Always work with the mains lead leading

away from the rear of the device.

• Do not use blunt or damaged blades. Bent
blades can break easily or cause kickback.

• When removing the blade from the tool
avoid contact with the skin and use proper
protective gloves when touching the blade
or accessory.
Accessories may become hot after

prolonged use.

CAUTION!

Noxious fumes!

noxious dusts represents a risk to the health of
the person operating the device and to anyone
near the work area. Do not saw materials
containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known
carcinogen.

Wear protective glasses and a dust
mask!

Do not saw materials containing substances
harmful to health.

• When sawing wood and in particular when

working on materials that give rise to dusts
that are hazardous to health, the device
must be connected to a suitable dust
extraction device.

• Make sure you have adequate ventilation.

• Do not work on moistened materials or

damp surfaces.

• Switch off the electrical power tool after

completing each stage of work but do not
withdraw the saw blade from the cut until
after it has come to a standstill.

• Use only undamaged, defect-free saw

blades. Distorted or blunt saw blades can
break or cause a kickback.

• Always keep the device clean, dry and free

of oil or grease.
