• 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.
• Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may aff ect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained 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 accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations diff erent from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
Service

quali� ed repair 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, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.

• Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the workpiece
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Keep hands away from the sawing area.
Do not reach under the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade can lead to
injuries.
• Only bring the power tool into contact
with the workpiece 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 sawing. A jammed saw
blade can break or lead to kickback.
• When the cut is completed, switch off the
power tool 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 complete 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 condition. Bent or dull saw
blades can break, negatively in� uence
the cut, or lead to kickback.
• Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by
applying side pressure after switching off .
The saw blade can be damaged, break or
cause kickback.
• Use suitable detectors to determine
if utility lines are hidden in the work
area or call the local utility company for
assistance. Contact with electric lines can
lead to � re and electric shock. Damaging
a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property
damage or may cause an electric shock.
