tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
u
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
u
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
u
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for jigsaws
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
u
when performing an operation where the cutting ac-
cessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make ex-
posed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
u
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it un-
stable and may lead to loss of control.
Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach
u
under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries.
Only bring the power tool into contact with the work-
u
piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of
kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Ensure that the footplate always rests securely while
u
sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-
back.
When the cut is completed, switch off the power tool
u
and then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it
has come to a standstill. In this manner you can avoid
kickback and can place down the power tool securely.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down. The application tool
can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect
u
condition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively
influence the cut, or lead to kickback.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side
u
pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be dam-
aged, break or cause kickback.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
u
hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany 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 dam-
age or may cause an electric shock.
