4. Special Safety Instructions

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the electrical tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
Ensure that the spot where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. using
a metal detector).
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- To extract dust more efficiently, use the protective
cap (5) and a suitable Metabo vacuum cleaner
together with this tool.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recom-
mended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
During work, the workpiece must lay flat and be
secured against moving, e.g. using clamps.
Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.
When sawing, ensure that the footplate makes
secure contact with the workpiece.
Do not switch the machine on while the saw blade is
touching 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.
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.
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. After
stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still be hot.
Wear protective gloves.
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.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustments, conversions or servicing are
performed.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
Remove the battery pack from the machine when
not in use.
LED light (4): Do not look directly into the light. Do
not observe the radiation directly with optical instru-
ments.
