SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIG SAWS

• Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical

insulation failure within the tool.

• Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or

maintenance, including changing the blade.

• Ensure that the lighting is adequate.

• Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place.

• Keep the shoe at on the work piece.

• Do not put pressure on the saw, such that it slows the motor down. Allow the saw

blade to cut without pressure. You will get better results and you will be taking better

care of your tool.

• Keep the area free of tripping hazards.

• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this jigsaw.

• Only use blades in good condition.

• Before cutting, check that there is sucient clearance for the blade under the work

piece.

• Do not touch the blade after operation. It will be very hot.

• Keep your hands away from under the work piece.

• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or waste close by the blade.

• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.

• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove all nails and other foreign

objects before beginning sawing.

• Support the work properly.

• Never reach over the blade to remove waste or o cuts.

• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before rst switching o the machine.

• If you are interrupted when operating the saw, complete the process and switch o

before looking up.

• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other xings are properly tightened.

• Do not store materials or equipment above a machine in such a way that they could fall

into it.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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.

• Do not secure the jigsaw upside down in a vice or work bench and use it as a saw

bench. This can lead to serious injury.

• When using the jigsaw, use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear

defenders, dust mask and protective clothing including safety gloves.

• Leave the jigsaw down only after the blade has come to a standstill. Unattended

jigsaw with moving blade can cause a serious injury.
