finger on the switch or energising the power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench from
blade bolt before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of a
power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
that these are connected and properly used. Use
of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent
use of tools allow you to become complacent
and ignore tool safety principles. A careless
action can cause severe injury within a fraction of
a second.
(2.5) 4) General Power Tool Safety Warnings
[Power tool use and care].
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at a rate for
which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on or off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power tool from the power
source from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventative 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 moving
parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
(2.6) 5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects, that can make a connection from
one terminal to another. Shorting the battery
terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is
damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
Note: The temperature „130 °C" can be replaced by
the temperature „265 °F".
g) Follow all charging instructions and
do not charge the battery pack or tool
outside the temperature range specified in
the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) 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.
b) Never service damaged battery packs.
Service of battery packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR
EVOLUTION JIGSAW
1. Do not expose to rain or water.
2. Wear hearing protection when necessary.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
3. Cutting/scraping blades and accessories can
become very hot. Take care when changing or
handling any bits or accessories.
4. Hold the tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces, especially when performing an
operation where the blade may contact hidden
wiring. If the blade contacts a 'live' wire, exposed
metal parts of the power tool could become 'live'
and give the operator an electric shock.
