5) Service
a) Repairs and service should only be performed by qualified tradesmen, and only
with original spare parts. This guarantees that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
1.2 Safety Instructions – Jigsaw EN 60745-2-11
Warning: Always disconnect the plug from the mains before adjusting, servicing or
performing maintenance on the machine.
1. Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces whenever there is a risk of
the saw blade coming into contact with hidden live wires or its own power flex.
If the saw blade comes into contact with live wires it may electrify the metal parts
of the jigsaw which can give the user an electric shock.
2. If the mains lead is damaged it should only be replaced by the retailer.
3. Keep your hands away from the blade and other moving parts.
4. Do not reach under the workpiece being sawed. Be extra careful if the blade or
your hand is out of sight. Make sure that the underside of the workpiece is free
of obstacles.
5. Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Bent saw blades can easily break or
cause kickback.
6. Start the saw and let it run up to speed before starting to cut.
7. Make sure that the soleplate is in constant contact with the workpiece during
sawing. Be extra careful when cutting with a tilted soleplate as it is easy to exert
too much lateral force on the saw blade.
8. Secure the workpiece with a clamp, vice, etc.
9. Make sure that the settings are correct and that the blade is securely fastened in
the blade holder before beginning to saw.
10. Make sure that the saw blade has come to a complete stop before removing
the saw from the cut. The saw blade should not be stopped by applying lateral
force to the side of the blade.
