General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical
safety
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal
safety
• Power tool or power adapter 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.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
• Do not charge other battery packs. The charger is only
suitable for use with the supplied battery pack and with
the voltages specified in the technical data. Otherwise,
there is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery. Avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
• In case of damage and improper use of the battery,
vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek
medical help in case of complaints. The vapours can

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.

Adjusting the pendulum action
You can adjust the pendulum movement of the saw blade.
Levels 1 to 3 allows for a faster work progress and level0
(pendulum movement off) enables fine and clean cutting edges.
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).
