5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

5.1 Working area

 Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents.  Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the

presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

 Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

 Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.  Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use

adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.

 Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed.

 Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will

increase the risk of an electric shock.

 Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock.

 When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use.

Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.

 If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected

by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.

5.3 Personal safety

 Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power

tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.

 Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a

dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury.

 Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely.

 Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or

key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

 Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable

you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts.

 If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure

that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

 Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what

you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people

who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any

other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

5.5 Service

 Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare

parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIG SAWS

Important! Use of any accessories or attachments other than those supplied or recommended in these operating instructions can mean the risk of injury.

Page 6

POWX0075LI EN

 When using jig saws ear protectors and a face mask should be worn. Exposure to noise

can cause damage to hearing.

 Do not use the jig saw to cut asbestos or materials containing asbestos.  Do not leave power tools running unattended. Always switch off and do not put down or

leave until it has stopped completely.

 Long hair must be covered. Do not work in loose fitting clothing.  Be careful when working on walls. Damage to power supply lines, gas or water pipes can

lead to dangerous situations. Use appropriate detectors to establish whether there are concealed wires or pipes in the working area.

 Secure the work piece. The work piece is only secure if it is held by work-holding devices

or in a vice.

 Caution: saw blades can get very hot.  Saw blades must be kept sharp and in good condition. Replace partially fractured and

broken saw blades immediately.

 Work calmly and evenly with the jig saw. You will thus avoid accidents and the saw blades

and the jig saw will last longer.

7 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES AND

CHARGERS

7.1 Batteries

 Never attempt to open for any reason.  Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40 °C.  Charge only at ambient temperatures between 4 °C and 40 °C.  Charge only using the charger provided with the tool.  When disposing of batteries, follow the instructions given in the section “Protecting the

environment”.

 Do not cause short circuits. If connection is made between the positive (+) and negative (-)

terminal directly or via accidental contact with metallic objects, the battery is short circuited and an intense current will flow causing heat generation which may lead to casing rupture or fire.

 Do not heat. If batteries are heated to above 100 °C, sealing and insulating separators

and other polymer components may be damaged resulting in electrolyte leakage and/or internal short circuiting leading to heat generation causing rupture or file. Moreover do not dispose of the batteries in fire, explosion and/or intense burning may result.

 Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the

battery, proceed as follows:

 Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.  In case of skin or eye contact, follow the instructions below:

 Immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or

vinegar.

 In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least 10 minutes.

Consult a physician.

Fire hazard! Avoid short-circuiting the contacts of a detached battery. Do not incinerate the battery.

press the ON/OFF switch trigger (2)

 When you release the switch trigger (2), the tool turns off.

8.6 Cutting-Orbital or Straight (Pendulum switch)(7)

This jig saw is equipped with four cutting actions, one straight and three orbital. Orbital action has a more aggressive blade motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials like wood or plastic. Orbital action provides faster cut, but with a rougher cut across the material. In orbital action, the blade moves forward during the cutting stroke in addition to the up and down motion.

Note: Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action. To adjust the cutting action, moves the orbital switch knob between the four cutting positions: 0, I, II, and III. Position 0 is the straight cutting. Positions I, II and III are orbital cutting. The aggressiveness of the cut increase as the knob is moved from one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut.
