Jigsaw operation
Special safety instructions
1. Check the following points:
• Has the saw lost any teeth and is it showing cracks or fractures?
• If so, replace the saw immediately.
• Is there enough room under the workpiece so that the saw does not
come into contact with the floor or work table as it moves up and
down?
• Do the teeth of the saw point upwards?
2. Always wear protective goggles when using the appliance.
3. Maintain the appliance carefully.
4. Do not use the appliance in a wet environment.
5. Do not use the appliance for material which contains asbestos.
6. Never leave the jigsaw unattended.
Using the appliance
1. Clamp the workpiece that you will be sawing firmly into place.
2. Remove any wood residue that is near the saw or stuck to the surface of
the saw; do not use your hand for this. Switch the appliance off before
removing any residue!
3. Always switch the jigsaw on in idle, i.e. switch the saw on before bringing
it into contact with the workpiece.
4. When sawing the wood watch out for knots, nails, cracks and/or dirt
deposits.
These can cause the saw to jam dangerously. Also watch out for this with
waste wood. This often requires less careful sawing, so there is a danger
that you may not be quite so careful about watching out for irregularities
in the wood.
5. Do not saw workpieces that are thicker than the length of the saw.
6. Do not touch metal parts of the jigsaw when sawing in walls or floors in
which there could be electricity cables. Hold the jigsaw tightly with both
hands on the plastic grip so that you do not touch parts that could become
live if you accidentally saw through an electricity cable.
7. When you have finished sawing, switch off the appliance first and wait
until the saw comes to a standstill before removing it from the workpiece.
8. Do not use long extension cables.
9. Keep the plastic guard in place while the saw is in use.
