Safety Instructions For Jig Saws - Skil 4580 Instrucciones

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source 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.
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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIG SAWS

• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the
tool; direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• Never use tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced
by a qualifi ed person
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Take protective measures when during work dust
can develop that is harmful to one's health,
combustible or explosive (some dusts are considered
carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and work with dust/
chip extraction when connectable
• Do not use a saw blade which is cracked, deformed or
dull
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• Keep hands away from the saw blade while the tool is in
use
• Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath
the cutting path before you start cutting
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
• Wear protective goggles when working with materials
which produce chips
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Check the functioning of the tool before each use and,
in case of a defect, have it repaired immediately by a
qualifi ed person; never open the tool yourself
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools
with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to
a 220V supply)
• When used outdoors, connect the tool via a fault current
(FI) circuit breaker with a triggering current of 30 mA
maximum, and only use an extension cord which is
intended for outdoor use and equipped with a
splashproof coupling-socket
• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A);
wear ear protection
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
• SKIL can assure fl awless functioning of the tool only

• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this
tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended
USE
• On/off 4
• Speed control for smooth starting 5 (4585)
• Switch locking for continuous use 6
• Changing saw blades 7
! insert blade to full depth with teeth facing
forward 8
• Sawing at 45° 9
• Adjusting sawing speed to material used 0
! if the tool does not run with wheel E in position 1,
select a higher sawing speed and lower the
sawing speed while the tool runs
• Selecting sawing mode !
Use lever F 2 for adjusting the orbital action from
accurate cutting (=0) to fast cutting (=4)
- 1 setting ("0") for accurate cutting in all materials,
straight + curved
- 4 settings for fast cutting in different materials,
straight cuts only
1 = metal
2 = plastic
3 = hard wood
4 = soft wood
! always select "0" when sawing splinter-sensitive
material
