f)
Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and similar according to the instructions
and in an appropriate way suitable for the type of power tool used. Also take
into consideration your work environment and the type of work to be done.
Using the power tool for a purpose other than that for which it is intended could
result in a dangerous situation.
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.
Safety Instructions – Jigsaw EN 60745-2-11
Warning: Always disconnect the plug from the mains before adjusting, servicing or
performing maintenance on the machine.
•
Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or
the power tool's own mains lead. Cutting accessories which contact "live" wires
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
•
If the mains lead is damaged in any way it must be replaced by a qualified
electrician.
•
Keep your hands away from the blade and other moving parts.
•
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.
•
Do not use blunt or damaged saw blades. Bent saw blades can easily break or
cause kickback.
•
Start the saw and let it run up to speed before starting to cut.
•
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.
•
Secure the workpiece with a clamp, vice, etc.
•
Make sure that the settings are correct and that the blade is securely fastened in
the blade holder before beginning to saw.
•
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.
