Additional safety warnings for jigsaws
• Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
• Wear safety goggles, hearing protection and
if necessary other protective means, such as
safety gloves, safety shoes, etc.
• Before use, remove all nails and other metal
objects from the workpiece.
• Make sure that the workpiece is properly
supported or fixed.
• Do not use the machine without the guard.
• Inspect the saw blade before each use. Do not
use saw blades which are bent, cracked, or
otherwise damaged.
• Make sure that the saw blade is properly
mounted.
• Only use saw blades that are suitable for use
with the machine.
• Only use saw blades with the correct
dimensions.
• Do not use other accessories than saw blades.
• Do not use saw blades made of HSS steel.
• Do not use the machine on workpieces
requiring a maximum sawing depth that
exceeds the maximum sawing depth of the
saw blade.
• Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces where the saw blade may contact
hidden wiring or the mains cable. If the saw
blade contacts a ‘live‘ wire, the exposed metal
parts of the machine can also become ‘live‘.
Risk of electric shock.
• Let the machine run at no load in a safe area
after mounting the saw blade. If the machine
vibrates strongly, immediately switch off the
machine, remove the mains plug from the
mains, and try to solve the problem.
• Beware that the saw blade continues to
rotate for a short period after switching off
the machine. Do not attempt to bring the saw
blade to a standstill yourself.
Kickback
Kickback is the upward and backward
movement of the saw blade when the saw blade
unexpectedly touches an object. Securely hold
the machine during use. Keep your attention
focused on the operation.
Kickback is usually caused by:
- unintentionally touching hard objects or
materials with the rotating saw blade;
- a blunt saw blade;
- a saw blade that is not properly mounted;
- sawing into a previous cut;
- a lack of attention to the operation;
- an instable stance.
Electrical safety
Always check that the voltage of the
power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or
the mains plug is damaged.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable
for the power rating of the machine with a
minimum thickness of 1.5 mm2. If you use an
extension cable reel, always fully unroll the
cable.
3. ASSEMBLY
Before assembly, always switch off the
machine and remove the mains plug from
the mains.
