► 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.
► The appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience or
knowledge, unless they are supervised
or instructed to use the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
► Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition 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 accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed.
Use of the power tool for oper-
ations diff erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Safety instructions for jigsaws
► Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping 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 opera-
tor an electric shock.
► Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by
hand or against your body leaves it unsta-
ble and may lead to loss of control.
► Keep hands away from the sawing area.
Do not reach under the workpiece.
Con-
tact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
► Only bring the power tool into contact
with the workpiece when switched on.
Otherwise there is danger of kickback if
the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
► Ensure that the footplate always rests
securely while sawing.
A jammed saw
blade can break or lead to kickback.
► When the cut is completed, switch off
the power tool and then pull the saw
blade out of the cut only after it has
come to a standstill.
In this manner you
can avoid kickback and can place down
the power tool securely.
► Always wait until the power tool has
come to a complete stop before placing
it down.
The application tool can jam and
cause you to lose control of the power tool.
► Use only undamaged saw blades that
are in perfect condition.
Bent or dull saw
blades can break, negatively infl uence the
cut, or lead to kickback.
► Do not brake the saw blade to a stop
by applying side pressure after switch-
ing off .
The saw blade can be damaged,
break or cause kickback.
► Use appropriate metal detectors to lo-
cate pipes or wiring hidden in the wall,
contact your local utility company for
help.
Contact with electrical wiring can
result in fire and electric shock. Damage
to the gas line can lead to an explosion.
Damage to the water supply leads to ma-
terial damage.
► Body-mounted contact protection pre-
vents unintentional contact with the
saw blade during operation; you can’t
take it off .
► Only plunge cut soft materials such as
wood, drywall, etc.
► The protective pad can prevent surface
scratches.
