General power tool safety warnings
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
4
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
5
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.
b
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be
done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety
hazard.
Additional safety points for your
jigsaw
1
Always wear a dust mask.
2
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool 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.
3
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
4
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when using the jigsaw.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are
NOT safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
5
Always wear hearing protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
6
Keep your hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the
material being cut because the nearness of the blade to your hand is
hidden from your sight.
7
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Bent blades can break easily,
6
or cause kickback.
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment,
8
servicing or maintenance.
Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.
9
When an extension cable is required you must ensure it has the
10
correct ampere rating for your power tool and is in a safe electrical
condition.
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as indicated on the
11
rating plate.
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a
12
possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power cables
13
and pipes.
After long working period, external metal parts and accessories could
14
be hot.
Only withdraw the blade from the cut when the blade has been
15
stopped moving.
The pivoting blade foot must be held firmly against the material being
16
cut to reduce saw vibration, blade jumping and blade breakage.
Before cutting, check the cutting line is free of nails, screws, etc.
17
If possible, ensure the work-piece is firmly clamped to prevent
18
movement.
Never stop the cutting blade by applying side pressure to the blade.
19
Your Jigsaw is a hand held tools, do not clamp your Jigsaw.

Warning: Some dust particles created by the sawing,
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 lumber.
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 are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.
