Any power tool that cannot be controlled 
with the switch is dangerous and must be 
repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the 

power source 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 

tools 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 and in the manner 

intended for the particular type of 

power tool, taking into account the 

working conditions and the work to 

be performed. 

 Use of the power tool for 

operations different from intended could 
result in a hazardous situation. 

5. Battery tool use and care 

a) Ensure the switch is in the off position 

before inserting battery pack.  

Inserting 

the battery pack into power tools that have 
the switch on invites accidents.

b) Recharge only with the charger 

specified by the manufacturer. 

 A 

charger that is suitable for one type of 
battery pack may create a risk of fire when 
used with another battery pack.

c) Use power tools only with specifically 

designated battery packs.  

Use of any 

other battery packs may create a risk of 

injury and fire.

d) 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 fire.

e) Under abusive conditions, liquid 

may be ejected from the battery; 

avoid contact. If contact accidentally 

occurs, flush 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 qualified repair person using only 

identical replacement parts.  

This will 

ensure that the safety of the power tool is 
maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY 

POINTS FOR YOUR JIGSAW

1.  Remove the plug from the socket before 

carrying out any adjustment, servicing or 

maintenance.

2.  Fully unwind cable drum extensions to 

avoid potential overheating.

3.  When an extension cable is required you 

must ensure it has the correct ampere 

rating for your power tool and that it is in a 

safe electrical condition.

4.  Ensure your mains supply voltage is the 

same as your tool rating plate voltage.

5.  Your tool is double insulated for additional 

protection against a possible electrical 

insulation failure within the tool. 

6.  Always check walls and ceilings to avoid 

hidden power cables and pipes.

7.  After long working periods, external metal 

parts and accessories could be hot.

8.  Wear eye protection when operating this 

tool.

9.  The base plate must always be held firmly 

against the material being cut to reduce 

saw vibration, blade jumping and blade 

breakage.

10. If possible, ensure the workpiece is firmly 

clamped to prevent movement.
