7. Use the right tool.
Do not force small
tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do
not use tools for purposes not intended; for
example do not use circular saws to cut tree
limbs or logs.
8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery which may get caught in moving
parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. If you have long hair,
tie it back and wear protective hair covering.
9. Use protective equipment.
Use safety
glasses. Use face or dust mask if cutting
operations create dust.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If the machines have a connection for dust
extraction equipment, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
11. Do not damage the cable.
Never pull the
power cable to disconnect the machine. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure workpiece.
Where possible, use
clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It’s
much safer than using your hands.
13. Don’t over reach.
Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools in good working
condition.
Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean for better performance and optimum
safety. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Inspect power
cables regularly and, if damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised service centre.
Inspect extension cables regularly and replace
immediately if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean and free from oil and grease at all times.
15. Disconnect tools.
Disconnect tools from
the power supply when not in use, before any
maintenance operation and when changing
accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, etc.
16. Remove adjusting keys and spanners.
Get into the habit of checking that adjusting
keys and spanners have been removed from
the machine before turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
Ensure switch
is in “off” position before plugging in the machine.
18. Use proper extension leads.
When the
tool is used outdoors, use only extension leads
intended for outdoor use and labelled as such.
19. Stay alert.
Concentrate on what you
are doing, use common sense and do not
operate the tool when you are tired.
20. Check that no part is damaged.
Before
using a tool, make sure that it is in good
working order. Check the alignment and
condition of moving parts, mounting and any
other aspect that may affect its operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by an authorised
service centre unless otherwise indicated in
this instruction manual. Do not use the tool if
the switch does not turn on and off.
21. Warning.
The use of any accessory or
attachment other than one recommended in
this instruction manual may present a risk of
personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired at an authorised
service centre.
This electric tool complies
with current safety rules. Repairs should only
be carried out by an authorised service centre
using original spare parts. Failing this, the user
could expose themselves to considerable
danger.
HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING:
When drilling, sanding, sawing or
grinding, dust particles will be produced. In
some instances, depending on the materials
you are working with, this dust can be
particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from
old gloss paint).You are advised to consider
the risks associated with the materials you
are working with and to reduce the risk of
exposure.
You should:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially designed to
filter microscopic particles.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR YOUR EVOLUTION JIGSAW
1. Do not expose to rain or water.
2. Do not drop, shake or strike the battery.
3. Wear hearing protection when
necessary.
Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
4. Cutting/scraping blades and accessories
can become very hot.
Take care when
changing or handling any bits or accessories.
5
5. Recharge the battery 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.
6. Use this power tool only with specially
designated battery packs.
Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.
7. When the 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.
8. Under extreme conditions electrolyte
may be leak from the battery. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush your skin with
water. If electrolyte contacts your eyes,
additionally seek medical help.
Electrolyte
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
9. Hold the tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces, especially when performing an
operation where the blade may contact
hidden wiring
. If the blade contacts a ‘live’
wire, exposed metal parts of the power tool
could become ‘live’ and give the operator an
electric shock.
10. If possible, use clamps or a vice to hold
your work.
11. When cutting into walls, floors or
similar areas, make sure, as far as possible,
that there are no services (gas or water
pipes, electric cables etc) in the path of the
blade.
Striking hidden services could cause
injury to the user and damage to the property.
12. Always disconnect the jigsaw battery
before changing the blade.
Never use
damaged or distorted blades.
13. Always allow the saw to come to a
complete halt before putting it down.
A
running tool may bounce uncontrollably if the
blade tip contacts any surface.
14. Always consider the work environment
and wear the appropriate personal
protection equipment.
This could include dust
masks, eye protection, safety footwear etc.
