e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an 

extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

 Use of a cord 

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use 

common sense when operating a power tool.

 Do 

not use a power tool while you are tired or under the 

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of 

inattention while operating power tools may result in 

serious personal injury.

b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

 

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid 

safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for 

appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Avoid accidental starting.

 Ensure the switch is in the 

off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with 

your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that 

have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning 

the power tool on.

 A wrench or a key left attached to 

a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal 

injury.

e. Do not overreach.

 Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times. This enables better control of the power tool in 

unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewellery.

 Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from 

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be 

caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust 

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are 

connected and properly used.

 Use of these devices 

can reduce dust related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool.

 Use the correct power tool 

for your application. The correct power tool will do the job 

better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

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 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 those intended could result in a 

hazardous situation.

5. 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 rules for jigsaws

WARNING. 

Before connecting a tool to a power source 

(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure 

that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the 

nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
