• Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or
call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or electric shock.
• Secure the workpiece. Never hold the workpiece in your hand or across your legs
or against your body. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand. An unstable workpiece can cause loss of control of the tool
and/or injury.
• Inspect workpiece for any nails and remove them before operation.
• Check for proper clearance beyond he workpiece before cutting so that the blade
will not strike the floor, workbench etc.
• Hold the power tool with a firm grip with both hands (if possible) and keep a good
balance. The power tool is best guided with both hands.
• Position your body on one or the other side of the power tool, but not in the alignment
of the blade or the cutting axis.
• Do not cut oversize workpiece.
• Do not operate the power tool at no-load unnecessarily.
• The jigsaw must not be used above shoulder height.
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
• Do not try to remove debris material when the blade is still moving.
• Some materials may contain chemicals that can be toxic. Avoid inhalation of dust
and any contact with the skin.
• The retractable anti-splinter guard cannot protect you from the blade on the
underside of the work area. Do not try to remove the material when the cutting blade
moves.
• Always check the proper closure of the guard before each use. Do not operate the
tool if guard does not move freely and does not close properly.
• Never hold or tie the guard in open position.
• If you accidentally drop the power tool, the guard may become damaged. Check that
the guard opens and closes freely and it does not touch the blade or any other part.
• If the guard is not operating properly, it must be repaired in an authorized service
point before any further use of the power tool.
• Periodically clean the guard from the accumulated dirt. To clean the guard safely,
switch off the power tool, remove the battery and the blade.
• Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of dust may cause electrical hazards.
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the
tool's manufacturer. Use of any other accessories pose a hazard of serious injury and
damage to the power tool. It is not because an accessory can be attached to your tool;
that it can assure safe operation. The accessories must meet specific requirements:
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories operated faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
• Blade length must be appropriate for the thickness of the workpiece. The blade
length should be sufficient to extend beyond the whole workpiece throughout the
stroke. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
• The size of accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories
that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool are likely to run out of
balance; vibrate and are likely to cause loss of control.
