attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) 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.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fi re
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifi cally
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fi re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fi re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Additional Safety Rules for Jigsaws
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
• 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.
• When using saw blades specially designed for
cutting wood, remove all nails and metal objects
from the workpiece before starting work.
• Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to fasten
the workpiece securely.
• Do not attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.
• Do not bend too far forward. Make sure that you
always stand fi rmly, particularly on scaffolding and
ladders.
• Always hold the saw with both hands.
• For cutting curves and pockets, use an adapted
saw blade.
CHECKING AND CHANGING THE SAW BLADE
• Only use saw blades conforming to the
specifi cations contained in these operating
instructions.
• Only sharp saw blades in perfect working condition
should be used; cracked or bent saw blades
should be discarded and replaced at once.
• Ensure that the saw blade is securely fi xed.
