fig. H
fig. G, fulfill all relevant provisions
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free
of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g.
check using a metal detector).
Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.
When sawing, the footplate must make secure
contact with the workpiece.
When interrupting a cut for any reason, release the
fig. H,
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.
Do not switch the machine on while the saw blade is
touching the workpiece. Let the saw blade reach full
speed before making a cut.
When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the
saw blade in the kerf and check that the saw teeth
are not engaged into the material. If the saw blade
seizes, it may kickback from the workpiece when
the saw is restarted.
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 a standstill.
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. After
stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still be hot.
Wear protective gloves.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
making any adjustments, changing tools,
maintaining or cleaning.
Make sure that the tool is switched off before fitting

Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, 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.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
