– 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.
– Deformed or cracked saw blades and saw blades
with blunt or broken cutting edges must not be
used.
– Always place the pendulum jigsaw on the work-
piece with the saw blade running.
– Wear suitable protection such as ear protection,
safety goggles, a dust mask for work which gen-
erates dust, and protective gloves when working
with raw materials and when changing tools.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being sawed.
– Always connect the machine to a dust extractor
when work involves dust generation.
– Check the plug and the cable regularly and
should either become damaged, in order to avoid
a hazard, have them replaced by an authorised
after-sales service workshop.

Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety reasons:
–Pre-connect a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in the
motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.

The specified emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads during
operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Increase possible for other applications, with other
insertion tools or if not maintained adequately. Take
note of idling and downtimes of machine!
