When the cut is completed, switch off
the machine and then pull the saw
blade out of the cut only after it has
come to a standstill. In this manner you
can avoid kickback and can place down the
machine securely.
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades.
Bent or unsharp saw blades can break or
cause kickback.
Do not use other accessories than saw
blades for the jigsaw.
Do not brake the saw blade to a
stop by applying side pressure after
switching off. The saw blade can be
damaged, break or cause kickback.
Use suitable detectors to determine
if utility lines are hidden in the work
area or call your local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric
lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a vice
is held more secure than by hand.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of
materials are particularly dangerous. Dust
from light alloys can burn or explode.
Always wait until the machine has
come to a complete stop before
placing it down. The tool insert can jam
and lead to loss of control over the power
tool.
Never use the machine with a
damaged cable. Do not touch the
damaged cable and pull the mains
plug when the cable is damaged while
working. Damaged cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
The jigsaw is double insulated.
Products sold in GB only: Your product is
fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric
plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to
BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for
your socket outlets, it should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted in its place
by an authorised customer service agent.
The replacement plug should have the
same fuse rating as the original plug. The
severed plug must be disposed of to avoid
a possible shock hazard and should never
be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS only: Use a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.
VIBRATION INFORMATION
Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated in this
instruction manual has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60745. It may be used to compare
one tool with another and as a preliminary
assessment of exposure to vibration
when using the tool for the applications
mentioned in this manual. However, using
the tool for different applications, or with
different or poorly maintained accessories,
may significantly increase the exposure
level.
An estimation of the level of exposure to
vibration should also take into account
the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing
the job, as this may significantly reduce
