(B) Specific Safety Warnings Instructions for jigsaws
a) 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.
b) Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the work piece. Contact with the saw
blade can lead to injuries.
c) Apply the machine to the work piece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback
when the cutting tool jams in the work piece.
d) Pay attention that the base plate rests securely on the material while sawing. A jammed saw blade
can break or lead to kickback.
e) When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and pull the blade out of the cut only after it has
come to a complete standstill. In this manner you can avoid kickback and can place down the machine
securely.
f) Use only undamaged blades that are in perfect condition. Bent or dull saw blades can break,
negatively influence the cut, or lead to kickback.
g) After switching off the jigsaw, do not stop the blade by applying side pressure. The saw blade can
be damaged, break or cause kickback.
h) Use suitable 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.
i) Secure the work piece. A work piece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure
than by hand.
J) Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert
can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.

instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2- This power tool is not recommended for plunge cuts operations. Operations for which the tool is not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
3- Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool’s
manufacturer. It is not because an accessory can be attached to your tool; that it can assure safe
operation.
4- The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the tool.
Accessories operated faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
5- The dimensions
(80mm length max.)
of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

mounting hardware of the tool are likely to run out of balance; vibrate and are likely to cause loss of
control.
7- Do not use damaged accessories.
Before each use, inspect the accessories for damages.
If tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory.
After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and any bystanders away from the
plane of the cutting accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for 1 minute.
Should accessory be damaged then it will normally break apart during this test time.
8- Wear personal protective equipment.
According to your application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
As deemed appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small work piece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
