9 Working with the electric
power tool
CAUTION
Materials which produce a lot of dust
Damage to the machine due to the ingress of
dust, risk of injury
► Do not work overhead.
WARNING
Risk of injury
► With the tool switched off and unplugged,
check for tight fit of the sawblade before
starting to work
► Always apply the pendulum jigsaw to the
workpiece with the sawblade running.
► Wait until the power tool stops completely
until placing it down. The tool can become
entangled and lead to a loss of control of
the power tool.
When working on small or thin workpieces, al­
ways use a stable base.
When working, hold the electric power tool by
the handle and guide it along the desired cut­
ting line. For precise cuts and smooth running,
use two hands to guide the electric power tool.

Free saw guidance along a scribe mark

The triangular pointer on the splinterguard
[5-1] indicates the cutting line of the saw blade.
This facilitates sawing along a scribe mark.

Extension Cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have a
sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows
you the correct cord diameter as a function of
the cord length for this tool.
