• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a residual current device (RCD) protected sup-
ply . Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock .
Personal safety
• 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 .
• 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 .
• 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 .
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on . A wrench or a key left attached to a rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result in personal injury .
• Do not overreach . Keep proper footing and balance at
all times . This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations .
• Dress properly . Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery .
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts . Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts .
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used . Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards .
Power tool use and care
• 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 .
• 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 .
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools .
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of start-
ing the power tool accidentally .
• 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 .
• Maintain power tools . Check for misalignment or bind-
ing 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 .
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean . Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control .
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc . in ac-
cordance 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 .
SERVICE
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 .
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR JIGSAWS
• Keep hands away from the sawing range . Do not reach
under the workpiece . Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries .
• Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on . Otherwise there is danger of kickback
when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece .
• Pay attention that the base plate securely on the materi-
al while sawing . A jammed saw blade can break or lead
to kickback .
• When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and
then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has
come to a standstill . In this manner you can avoid kick-
back and can place down the machine securely .
• Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect
condition . Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively
influence the cut, or lead to kickback .
• Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
pressure after switching off . The saw blade can be dam-
aged, break or cause kickback .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead to ex-
plosion . Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age or may cause an electric shock .
• Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand .
• Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down . The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool .
• Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
