d) Fluids may leak out of rechargeable battery
units if they are misused. If this happens, avoid
contact with the fluid. If contact occurs, flush
the affected area with water. Seek additional
medical help if any of the fluid gets into your
eyes. Escaping battery fluid may cause skin
irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modified battery.
Damaged or modified batteries may behave
unexpectedly and cause fires, explosions or
pose a risk of injury.
f) Do not expose a battery to fire or excessively
high temperatures. Fire or temperatures in
excess of 130°C (265°F) can cause an
explosion.
g) Follow all instructions regarding charging
and never charge the battery or the cordless
tool outside of the temperature range given in
the operating instructions. Incorrect charging
or charging outside of the permissible tempera-
ture range can destroy the battery and increase
the risk of fire.
CAUTION! RISK OF EXPLOSION!
Never charge non-rechargeable
batteries.
Protect the rechargeable battery from
heat; for example, from continuous
exposure to sunlight, fire, water and
moisture. There is a risk of explosion.

6. Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only original replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
b) Never try to repair damaged batteries.
Maintenance of batteries should only be car-
ried out by the manufacturer or an approved
customer service centre.

Appliance-specific safety instructions
for jigsaws
■
Hold the power tool only by the insulated
handles when you are carrying out work
in which the accessory tool may come
into contact with concealed power cables.
Contact with a live wire may electrify exposed
metal parts of the power tool and could give
the operator an electric shock.
■ Keep your hands away from the sawing area.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade may result in injury.
■ Keep your hands away from the stroke
rod and the quick-release chuck. Contact
with these components may result in a crushing
injury.
■ Always switch on the electrical power tool
before applying it to the workpiece. Otherwise,
there is a risk of a kickback.
■ When sawing, ensure that the baseplate is in
contact with the workpiece.
■ After completing your work, switch the power
tool off and do not pull the saw blade out of
the cut until the tool has stopped entirely. This
prevents kickbacks and allows you to put the
tool down safely.
■ Only use undamaged saw blades that are
in perfect working order. Bent and blunt saw
blades can break or may cause a kickback.
■ Do not try and slow the saw blade down after
switching off by applying lateral pressure. The
saw blade can be damaged, break or cause a
kickback.
■ Secure the workpiece. Use clamps/vices to
hold the workpiece firmly. This is much safer
than simply holding it in your hand.
■ Fix and secure the workpiece using clamps
or some other method to a stable base.
If you hold the workpiece in your hands or
against your body only, it will remain unstable.
This can result in loss of control.
■ Never work on moistened materials or damp
surfaces.
