Device-specific safety warnings for jigsaws
Hold the device by its insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the insertion tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contacting
a live wire might energize exposed metal parts of the device and lead to an electric shock.
Use appropriate detection equipment to track down
concealed supply lines or consult the local utility companies. Contact with electrical lines may result in fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line may lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage and may cause an electric shock.
Vibrations can be harmful to the human hand-arm system. Keep the vibration exposure time to a minimum.
Secure the workpiece. The grip of tensioning devices or a vice is more secure than holding the workpiece only by hand.
Clean the shank of the saw blade before inserting it. A dirty shank cannot be fastened securely.
Check the saw blade for tight fit. A loose saw blade could fall out and injure you.
Before switching on the power tool, ensure that the insertion tool can move freely. If the device is switched on with a jammed insertion tool, the resulting forces can be extreme causing the device to kick out sideways.
Do not work on moistened material or moist surfaces.
Only hold the power tool against the workpiece when the tool is switched on and running. Otherwise there is a risk of kickbacks.
Make sure that the base plate is positioned securely on the contact face during sawing. A jammed saw blade could break or cause a kickback.
Keep your hands out of the sawing area. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. Risk of injury upon contact with the saw blade.
Keep your hands away from lifting rod and quick- release chuck. Crushing hazard upon contact with these components.
Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Regularly check the quick-release chuck for wear or
damage.
Only use intact, flawless saw blades. Bent and blunt saw blades could break or cause a kickback.
Do not attempt to slow down the saw blade movement
by pressing against the blade from the side once the device is switched off. The saw blade could be damaged,
break or cause a kickback.
Switch off the power tool when your operation is
completed, but do not remove the saw blade from the kerf until it has come to a standstill. This serves to
avoid a kickback, then you can put the power tool down safely.
Immediately switch off the power tool if the insertion tool gets jammed. The power tool can lash out to the side owing to the forces that build up consequently.
Wait until the power tool has come to a standstill, before putting it down. The insertion tool could get caught resulting in a loss of control of the power tool.

The ideal pendulum level for the respective application can be determined by way of field-testing. Please observe the following instructions:
If you want to obtain a fine and clean cutting edge, preferably select a low pendulum level or switch off the pendulum action completely.
Switch off the pendulum action when processing thin materials.
Work at a low pendulum level when processing hard materials.
For soft materials or when sawing wood with the grain you can work with the maximum pendulum level.
1. Set the pendulum action selector switch(5) to the desired level. The higher the level, the larger the pendulum stroke. The pendulum action can also be adjusted during operation.
3. Slide the rip fence(8) into the slot with the marking pointing up.
4. Move the rip fence(8) into the desired position.
5. Tighten the locking screws(15).
6. Refit the battery(18; see Insert the battery).
