ble, it can become unstable and result in
serious accidents.
– Wait until the power tool stops com-
pletely until placing it down. The tool
can become entangled and lead to a loss of
control of the power tool.
– Deformed or cracked saw blades and saw
blades with blunt or broken cutting edges
must not be used.
– Always place the pendulum jigsaw on the
workpiece with the saw blade running.
– Wear suitable protection such as ear pro-
tection, safety goggles, a dust mask for
work which generates dust, and protective
gloves when working with raw materials
and when changing tools.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
sawed.
– Always connect the machine to a dust ex-
tractor when work involves dust genera-
tion.
– Check the plug and the cable regularly and
should either become damaged, have
them replaced by an authorised after-sales
service workshop.
4.3 Metalworking
The following precautions are to be
taken when processing metals for
safety reasons:
– Pre-connect a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust ex-
tractor.
– Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations
in the motor housing.
Wear protective goggles.

sured in accordance with EN 60745:
The emission values specified (vibration,
noise) were measured in accordance with the
test conditions stipulated in EN 60745 and
are intended for machine comparisons. They
are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
The emission values specified refer to the
main applications for which the power tool is
used. If the electric power tool is used for
other applications, with other tools or is not
maintained sufficiently prior to operation,
however, the vibration and noise load may be
higher when the tool is used. Take into ac-
count any machine idling times and down-
times to estimate these values more accu-
rately for a specified time period. This may
significantly reduce the load during the ma-
chine operating period.
