g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, 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 cor-
rect power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
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 re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, 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 unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s op-
eration. 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.
Prop-
erly 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 in-
structions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed.
Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Jigsaws
f
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, 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.
f
Keep hands away from the sawing range.
Do not reach under the workpiece.
Contact
with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
f
Apply the machine to the workpiece only
when switched on.
Otherwise there is dan-
ger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in
the workpiece.
f
Pay attention that the base plate 7 rests se-
curely on the material while sawing.
A
jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-
back.
f
When the cut is completed, switch off the
machine and then pull the saw blade out of
the cut only after it has come to a standstill.
In this manner you can avoid kickback and
can place down the machine securely.
f
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades.
Bent or
unsharp saw blades can break or cause kick-
back.
f
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by ap-
plying side pressure after switching off.
The
saw blade can be damaged, break or cause
kickback.
f
Use suitable detectors to determine if utili-
ty 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.
