When sawing, the footplate must make secure
contact with the workpiece.
When interrupting a cut for any reason, release
the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the
material until the saw blade comes to a complete
stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the
workpiece while the saw blade is in motion or
kickback may occur.
Do not switch the machine on while the saw blade
is touching the workpiece. Let the saw blade reach
full speed before making a cut.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf and check that saw teeth
are not engaged into the material. If the saw blade
seizes, it may kickback from the workpiece when
the saw is restarted.
Keep hands well away from the sawing area
and the saw blade. Do not reach underneath the
workpiece.
Remove chips and similar material only with the
machine at standstill.
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before
any adjustments, conversions or servicing are
performed.
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade.
After stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still be
hot. Wear protective gloves.
