using the appliance
•

•
Remove any wood residue that is near or stuck to the surface of the saw blade; do

•
When sawing the wood watch out for knots, nails, cracks and/or dirt deposits.
These can cause the saw blade to jam dangerously. Also watch out for this with
waste wood. This often requires less careful sawing, so there is a danger that you
may not be quite so careful about watching out for irregularities in the wood.
•
Do not saw workpieces that are thicker than the length of the saw blade.
•
Do not touch metal parts of the jigsaw when sawing in walls or floors in which there
could be electricity cables.
Hold the jigsaw tightly with both hands on the plastic grip so that you do not touch parts
that could become live if you accidentally saw through an electricity cable.

When you have finished sawing, switch off the appliance first and wait until the saw
blade comes to a standstill before removing it from the workpiece.
