4. Proper use
The scroll saw is used for cutting angular timbers or
other materials such as Plexiglas, GRP, foam, rub-
ber, leather and cork. Never use the saw to cut round
material. Round material can tilt easily.
Danger of injury! Parts may be ejected!
The device may only be used in the intended manner.
Any use beyond this is improper. The user/operator,
not the manufacturer, is responsible for damages or
injuries of any type resulting from this.

5.1 General safety instructions for electrical de-
vices
WARNING
The following basic safety measures must be ob-
served when using electric tools for protection against
electric shock, and the risk of injury and fire.
Read all these notices before using the electric tool and
store the safety instructions well for later reference.
Maintenance and service

specialists and only with original spare parts.
This ensures that safety of the device is maintained.
Safe work
1. Keep the work area orderly
- Disorder in the work area can lead to accidents.
2. Take environmental influences into account
- Do not expose electric tools to rain.
- Do not use electric tools in a damp or wet envi-
ronment.
- Make sure that the work area is well-illuminated.
- Do not use electric tools where there is a risk of
fire or explosion.
3. Protect yourself from electric shock
- Avoid physical contact with earthed parts (e.g.
pipes, radiators, electric ranges, cooling devices).
4. Keep other persons away
- Do not allow other persons, especially children,
to touch the electric tool or the cable. Keep them
away from your work area.
5. Securely store unused electric tools
- Unused electric tools should be stored in a dry, ele-
vated or closed location out of the reach of children.
6. Do not overload your electric tool
- They work better and more safely in the specified
output range.
7. Use the correct electric tool
- Do not use low-output electric tools for heavy
work.
- Do not use the electric tool for purposes for which it
is not intended. For example, do not use handheld
circular saws for the cutting of branches or logs.
8. Wear suitable clothing
- Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery, which can
become entangled in moving parts.
- When working outdoors, anti-slip footwear is rec-
ommended.
- Tie long hair back in a hair net.
9. Use protective equipment

device are present, make sure that they are con-
nected and used properly.
11. Do not use the cable for purposes for which it
is not intended
- Do not use the cable to pull the plug out of the
socket. Protect the cable from heat, oil and sharp
edges.
12. Secure the workpiece
- Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held more
securely than with your hand.
13. Avoid abnormal posture
- Make sure that you have secure footing and al-
ways maintain your balance.
14. Take care of your tools

regularly and have it replaced by a recognised
specialist when damaged.
- Check extension cables regularly and replace
them when damaged.
- Keep the handle dry, clean and free of oil and
grease.
15. Pull the connector out of the socket
- When the electric tool is not in use or prior to
maintenance and when replacing tools such as
saw blades, bits, milling heads.
16. Do not leave a tool key inserted
- Before switching on, make sure that keys and ad-
justing tools are removed.
17. Avoid inadvertent starting
- Make sure that the switch is switched off when
plugging the plug into an outlet.
18. Use extension cables for outdoors

- Protective devices or other parts with minor dam-
age must be carefully inspected to ensure that
they function correctly and as intended prior to
continued use of the electric tool.
- Check whether the moving parts function fault-
lessly and do not jam or whether parts are dam-
aged. All parts must be correctly mounted and
all conditions must be fulfilled to ensure fault-free
operation of the electric tool.
