POWER TOOL GENERAL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(These General Power Tool Safety Instructions
are as specied in BS EN 60745-1:2009 & EN
61029-1:2009)
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings and instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, re 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) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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
ammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children & bystanders away while
operating power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.

2) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the 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) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 inuence 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 dust masks, 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 nger on the switch or energising the 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 key left
attached to a rotating part of a 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, clothing and gloves
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
that these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[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 a rate
for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the power
source and/or battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventative 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. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of moving parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tools
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.
5) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Service]
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
OUTDOOR USE
WARNING: For your protection if this tool is to be
used outdoors it should not be exposed to rain,
or used in damp locations. Do not place the tool
on damp surfaces. Use a clean, dry workbench
if available. For added protection use a residual
current device (R.C.D.) that will interrupt the
supply if the leakage current to earth exceeds
30mA for 30ms. Always check the operation of
the residual current device (R.C.D.) before using
the machine.
If an extension cable is required it must be a
suitable type for use outdoors and so labelled.
The manufacturers instructions should be
followed when using an extension cable.
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING: When drilling, sanding, sawing or
grinding, dust particles will be produced. In some
instances, depending on the materials you are
working with, this dust can be particularly harmful
to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).You are
advised to consider the risks associated with the
materials you are working with and to reduce
the risk of exposure. Some wood and wood
type products, especially MDF (Medium Density
Fibreboard), can produce dust that may be
hazardous to your health. We recommend the use
of an approved face mask with replaceable lters
when using this machine, in addition to using the
dust extraction facility.
You should always:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to lter
microscopic particles.
WARNING: If you suspect that paint on surfaces
in your home contains lead, seek professional
advice. Lead based paints should only be removed
by a professional and you should not attempt
to remove it yourself. Once the dust has been
deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can
result in the ingestion of lead. Exposure to even
low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and
nervous system damage. The young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR
EVOLUTION JIGSAW
1. Do not expose to rain or water.
2. Wear hearing protection when necessary.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
3. Cutting/scraping blades and accessories
can become very hot. Take care when changing
or handling any bits or accessories.
4. Hold the tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces, especially when performing an
operation where the blade may contact hidden
wiring. If the blade contacts a ‘live’ wire, exposed
metal parts of the power tool could become ‘live’
and give the operator an electric shock.
5. If possible, use clamps or a vice to hold
your work.
6. When cutting into walls, oors or similar
areas, make sure, as far as possible, that there
are no services (gas or water pipes, electric
cables etc) in the path of the blade. Striking
hidden services could cause injury to the user and
damage to the property.
7. Always disconnect the jigsaw from the
power supply before changing the blade.
Never use damaged or distorted blades.
8. Always allow the saw to come to a complete halt
before putting it down. A running tool may bounce
uncontrollably if the blade tip contacts any surface.
9. Always consider the work environment
and wear the appropriate personal protection
equipment. This could include dust masks, eye
protection, safety footwear etc.
