GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings designated by the symbol and
all instructions.
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 (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (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 atmospheres, 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 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. 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.
b. 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.
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,
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 these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 the battery pack from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive 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 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 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
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR JIG SAW
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Always use eye glasses and dust mask.
3. Hearing protection should be worn when using jigsaw.
4. Do not use damaged or worn blades.
5. Always use jigsaw with guard cover down.
6. Regularly check the two screws in the blade clip.
7. Regularly check the adjustment of the support roller.
8. Do not run the machine with any part of the casing missing or damaged.
9. If blade is jammed in work piece, do not start the jigsaw.
WARNING! Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles and use the dust extraction facility at all times.
SAFETY POINTS FOR YOUR LASER
Do not stare directly at the laser beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately stare into the
beam, please observe all safety rules as follows:
1. The laser device fitted to this tool is class 2 with a maximum radiation of 1mW and
650nm wavelength. These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard although
staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.
2. The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.
4. The laser beam shall not be deliberately aimed at another person and shall be prevented
from being directed towards the eye of a person for longer than 0.25 seconds.
5. Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without reflective
surfaces, e.g wood or rough coated surfaces are acceptable.
Bright shiny reflective sheet steel or similar is not suitable for laser applications as the
reflective surface may direct the laser beam back at the operator.
6. Do not change the laser device with a different type. Repairs must be carried out by the
manufacturer or an authorised agent.
CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help reduce
hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires power
tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to enable users
to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be used safely on a
daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE website has further information.
The declared vibration emission has been measured in accordance with a standardised test
stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another.
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
