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 instruc
tions, taking into account the working con
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a haz
ardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
h.
clean and free from oil and grease. Slip
pery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5 SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a quali
a.
fied repair person using only identical re
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
b.
Only use original Festool parts for repair
and maintenance. The use of incompatible
accessories or spare parts can result in
electric shocks or other injuries.
3.2
Machine-related safety instructions
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
–
surfaces [1-2; 2-3], 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 pow
er tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to se
–
cure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
–
Festool electric power tools must only be
installed on work tables provided by
Festool for this purpose. If the tool is in
stalled in another, or self-made, work ta
ble, it can become unstable and result in
serious accidents.
–
Wait until the power tool has come to a
complete halt before placing it down. The
insertion tool can get caught and lead to a
loss of control of the power tool.
–
Deformed or cracked saw blades and saw
blades with blunt or broken cutting edges
must not be used.
–
The saw blade on the jigsaw must always
be running when it makes contact with the
workpiece.

–
Wear suitable personal protective equip
ment: Ear protection, protective goggles,
dust mask for work that generates dust,
protective gloves for working with rough
materials and for changing tools.
–
Always connect the machine to a dust ex
tractor when performing work that gener
ates dust.
–
Check the plug and the cable regularly and
should either become damaged, in order to
avoid a hazard, have them replaced by an
authorised after-sales service workshop.
–
Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be
supplied via residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
3.3
Metal processing
When processing metal, the following
measures must be taken for safety rea
sons:
–
Install an upstream residual-current circuit
breaker (RCD, PRCD).
–
Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex
tractor.
–
Regularly remove dust deposits from the
motor housing.
–
Use a metal saw blade.
–
Close the chip guard.
Wear protective goggles.
3.4
Health hazard by dust
WARNING! various dust created by pow
er sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals
known (to the State of California) to cause can
cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
–
lead from lead-based paints,
–
crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
–
arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
