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
Cutting Tool Safety
Use the correct cutting tool
• Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is suitable
without checking the product literature before use
Protect your eyes
• Always wear proper eye protection when using cutting tools
• Everyday glasses are not designed to offer any protection when using this
product; normal lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter
Protect your breathing
• Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks
Protect your hearing
• Always wear proper hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 80dB
Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity of
the work area are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided
with suitable protective equipment
Beware of projected waste
• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting
tool. Ensure there are no other persons within the work area. If it is necessary to
have other persons nearby, it is the user’s responsibility to make sure that they
are equipped with the correct protective equipment
Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches /
adjusters are removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of
the blade or cutter
Beware of heat
• Be aware that cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not
attempt to change tools until they have been allowed to cool completely
Foreign objects
• Fully inspect cutting material for any form of foreign bodies before cutting
• Do not attempt to cut material that contains foreign bodies unless you know
that the cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
Hidden objects
• Beware of hidden objects. Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels
may conceal fuel lines, and long grass may conceal stones and glass. Always
check the work area thoroughly before proceeding
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal
swarf is explosive
• Be especially careful with machines used to cut wood and metal. Sparks from
metal cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working
environment
Jigsaw Safety
• Be aware that the cutting blade will project from the underside of the workpiece
. Ensure that all supports and power cables are well clear of the cutting path
• Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the above specifications
• Always ensure that an appropriate blade is used for the material being cut
• Do not force the blade to bend or twist whilst cutting
• Always keep the shoe pressed against the workpiece
• Only use blades of the type described in the specification. Other types of blade
may not be properly secured and are a safety hazard
• If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece , allow the blade to come
to a complete stop before lifting out of cut
• Be aware that the blade will be hot after cutting. Allow to cool completely
before handling
• If a blade becomes jammed, disconnect machine from the mains power supply
before attempting to free blade
• This saw should only be used as instructed. Do not attempt to mount this saw
to any kind of saw bench or stand
• Be aware that jigsaws will cause the workpiece to vibrate. If not properly
supported, work may be damaged by excessive vibration
