15. 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and 
balance at all times.

 This enables better control 

of the power tool in unexpected situations. 

16. 

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. 

17. 

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. 

Power tool use and care 

18. 

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. 

19. 

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. 

20. 

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. 

21. 

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. 

22. 

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. 

23. 

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

 Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges 
are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 

24. 

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 

tool for operations different from those intended 
could result in a hazardous situation. 

Service 

25. 

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. 

26. 

Follow instruction for lubricating and 
changing accessories. 

27. 

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and 
grease.

JIG SAW SAFETY WARNINGS 

1. 

Hold power tool by insulated gripping 
surfaces, when performing an operation where 
the cutting accessory 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. 

2. 

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. 

3. 

Always use safety glasses or goggles. 
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety 
glasses. 

4. 

Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any 
nails and remove them before operation. 

5. 

Do not cut oversize workpiece. 

6. 

Check for the proper clearance beyond the 
workpiece before cutting so that the blade will 
not strike the floor, workbench, etc. 

7. 

Hold the tool firmly. 

8. 

Make sure the blade is not contacting the 
workpiece before the switch is turned on. 

9. 

Keep hands away from moving parts. 

10. 

Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool 
only when hand-held. 

11. 

Always switch off and wait for the blade to 
come to a complete stop before removing the 
blade from the workpiece. 

12. 

Do not touch the blade or the workpiece 
immediately after operation; they may be 
extremely hot and could burn your skin. 

13. 

Do not operate the tool at no-load 
unnecessarily. 

14. 

Some material contains chemicals which may 
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust 
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material 
supplier safety data. 

15. 

Always use the correct dust mask/respirator 
for the material and application you are 
working with.
