before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp 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 instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
2.5
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
3. Special Safety Instructions
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, 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.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to a 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).
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, the footplate must make secure
contact with 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.
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.
6
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.
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.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. After
stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still be hot.
Wear protective gloves.
Reducing dust exposure:
Some of the particles generated using this
power tool may contain substances known to
cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory
diseases, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some of these substances include: Lead (in paint
containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks,
concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment
(chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types
(such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long the user or nearby persons are
being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
Do the following to reduce exposure to these
substances: Ensure good ventilation of the
workplace and wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as respirators able to filter
microscopically small particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping
or blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush.
