other factors affecting the power tool work safety. If any
damage to the power tool is detected, it should be repaired
before use.
Improper power tool maintenance is a reason for many
accidents.
f)
Cutting tools should be sharp and clean.
Keeping sharp cutting
edges in good condition reduces the risk of jamming and facilitates
operation.
g)
Power tools, equipment, working tools etc. should be used
according to this user's manual taking into account operating
conditions and the work to be done.
Misusing a power tool can
result in dangerous situations.
h)
At low temperatures and after a long brakes in operation it is
recommended to turn the power tool to operate it with no
load for a few minutes to provide proper grease distribution
inside its driving mechanism.
i)
Use soft, damp (cannot be wet) cloth and soap to clean power
tools. Do not use petrol, solvents and other agents that may
damage your equipment
.
j)
Power tools can be stored/carried after making sure that all
moving components are locked and protected against release
with original devices intended for this purpose.
k)
Store power tools in a dry, dust and water-protected place.
l)
Carry your power tool in its original packaging to provide
protection against mechanical damage.
m)
Keep handles and grip surfaces clean and free from oil and
grease.
Secure grip and control over the tool in unexpected
circumstances are impossible if handles and grip surfaces are slippery.
WARNING! General warnings regarding the use of
power tools.
Repair
:
a)
Warranty and post-warranty repairs of its power tools are
carried out by PROFIX Service, which guarantees the best
quality or repair and use of genuine spare parts.
WARNING!
While operating power tools it is necessary to observe basic
work safety rules to avoid fire, electric shock or mechanical
injury.
WARNING!
CORDLESS JIGSAW, special guidelines for
safe device use:
a)
When performing work during which the tool might
encounter hidden electric wires, hold the electric tool by the
insulated handle surfaces.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
b)
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for
assistance.
Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water
line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
c)
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is
considered carcinogenic.
d)
Keep your workplace clean and tidy.
Material mixtures are
extremely dangerous. Light metal dusts can ignite or explode.
e)
Protect the object machined.
Make sure all clamps are closed and
check for excessive clearance. It is safer to fix the object machined in a
fixing device or a vice than holding it in your hand.
f)
Always wear safety goggles and hearing protection. When
necessary, use appropriate personal protective equipment:
- a protective mask to reduce the risk of inhaling harmful dust,
- protective gloves when the blade is in motion and a rough material
is handled.
g)
Make sure that the adjustable foot (
9
) is firmly attached
when cutting.
A caught blade can break or cause kickback.
h)
Use only undamaged blades.
Bent or blunt blades can break or
cause recoil.
i)
Start the power tool before the blade touches the material.
Otherwise, there is a danger of recoil when the tool gets seized in the
workpiece.
j)
Keep hands away from the cutting range. Do not put them
under the workpiece.
There is a risk of injury when touching the
blade.
k)
After work finishes, turn off the power tool. The blade can be
removed from the workpiece when it is stationary.
This way
recoil is avoided and the power tool can be safely put away.
l)
Disconnect the machine from the battery during a break in
work, when replacing blades, refurbishing, cleaning or
adjusting.
WARNING! Safe use of rechargeable batteries and
battery chargers
-
Using the battery:
a)
Use only the batteries that correspond to specifications
required by the equipment manufacturer.
Use of unsuitable
batteries may lead to cracks and destruction of the battery, personal
injuries or fires.
b
)
WARNING: In case of damage or improper use of the battery,
explosive gases might be released. The battery must be kept
away from fire and proper ventilation is to be assured during
charging.
It cannot be left for a longer period of time in a high
temperature environment (areas with strong exposure to the sun, close
to radiators or any other place with a temperature above 40 degrees).
c
)
The battery must be charged within the temperature range
of 15 to 25ºC.
d
)
Batteries can be charged exclusively with use of a power
adapter recommended by the manufacturer of the tool.
Application of any other power adapter may pose a risk of a fire.
e)
Never expose the battery to the effect of water or moisture.
f)
When another battery is to be charged in sequence the time
gap between charging operations must be not less than 30
minutes.
g
)
In no case may you open the battery.
h
)
Under unfavourable conditions electrolyte may leak from
batteries, be careful to avoid contacts with the liquid. In case
of accidental contacts with the liquid wash the affected
locations with water. When liquid penetrates eyes, seek also
for medical assistance.
The liquid that leaks from batteries may be
a reason for irritation or scalds.
i
)
When the battery unit is not in use keep it far away from
metallic items such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, bolts or
other metal things that may short the battery terminals.
