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 batteryoperated (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 atmos-
pheres, 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 elec-
tric 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 re-
duces 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.
Use personal protective equipment. Always
b)
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.
■ 4 │ GB
│IE│NI│
CY
PSTKA 12 A1
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 allow yourself to get lulled into a false
sense of security and do not ignore the safety
regulations for power tools, even if you are
familiar with the power tool after repeated
use. 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. This precaution is intended to
prevent you from unintentionally starting the
appliance.
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 ac-
cessory tools 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. Use and handling of the cordless
electrical power tool
a) Charge a rechargeable battery unit using
only the charger recommended by the manufacturer. Chargers are often designed for a
particular type of rechargeable battery unit.
There is the danger of fire if other types of
rechargeable battery units are used.
b) Only the rechargeable battery units supplied
are to be used with an electrical power tool.
The use of other rechargeable battery units may
lead to the danger of injury or fire.
c) When they are not being used, store re-
chargeable battery units away from paperclips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects that could cause the contacts
to be bridged. Short-circuiting the contacts of
a rechargeable battery unit may result in heat
damage or fire.

d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery
units if they are misused. If this happens, avoid
contact with the fluid. If contact occurs, flush
the affected area with water. Seek additional
medical help if any of the fluid gets into your
eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause skin
irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery.
Damaged or modified batteries may behave
unexpectedly and cause fires, explosions or
pose a risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery to fire or excessively
high temperatures. Fire or temperatures in
excess of 130°C (265°F) can cause an
explosion.
g) Follow all instructions regarding charging
and never charge the battery or the cordless
tool outside of the temperature range given in
the operating instructions. Incorrect charging
or charging outside of the permissible temperature range can destroy the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never charge non-rechargeable
batteries.
Protect the rechargeable battery from
heat; for example, from continuous
exposure to sunlight, fire, water and
moisture. There is a risk of explosion.
6. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
b) Never try to repair damaged batteries.
Maintenance of batteries should only be carried out by the manufacturer or an approved
customer service centre.
Appliance-specific safety instructions
for jigsaws
■ Hold the power tool only by the insulated
handles when you are carrying out work
in which the accessory tool may come
into contact with concealed power cables.
Contact with a live wire may electrify exposed
metal parts of the power tool and could give
the operator an electric shock.
■ Keep your hands away from the sawing area.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade may result in injury.
■ Keep your hands away from the stroke
rod and the quick-release chuck. Contact
with these components may result in a crushing
injury.
■ Always switch on the electrical power tool
before applying it to the workpiece. Otherwise,
there is a risk of a kickback.
■ When sawing, ensure that the baseplate is in
contact with the workpiece.
■ After completing your work, switch the power
tool off and do not pull the saw blade out of
the cut until the tool has stopped entirely. This
prevents kickbacks and allows you to put the
tool down safely.
■ Only use undamaged saw blades that are
in perfect working order. Bent and blunt saw
blades can break or may cause a kickback.
■ Do not try and slow the saw blade down after
switching off by applying lateral pressure. The
saw blade can be damaged, break or cause a
kickback.
■ Secure the workpiece. Use clamps/vices to
hold the workpiece firmly. This is much safer
than simply holding it in your hand.
■ Fix and secure the workpiece using clamps
or some other method to a stable base.
If you hold the workpiece in your hands or
against your body only, it will remain unstable.
This can result in loss of control.
■ Never work on moistened materials or damp
surfaces.
