Specific safety instructions for jigsaws
Hold the tool by the in sulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Keep hands away from cutting area . Never reach
underneath the work piece for any reason. Do not insert
fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade
and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by gripping the
shoe.
Keep blades sharp. Dull or damaged blades may cause
the saw to swerve or stall under pressure. Always use the
appropriate type of saw blade for the workpiece material
and type of cut.
When cutting pipe or conduit, make sure that they
are free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
Do not touch the workpiece or the blade
immediately after operating the tool. They can become
very hot.
Be aware of hidden hazards, before cutting into
walls, floors or ceilings, check for the location of
wiring and pipes.
The blade will continue to move after releasing the
switch. Always switch the tool off and wait for the saw
blade to come to a complete standstill before putting the
tool down.
This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirm
persons without supervision. Children must be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Warning! Contact with, or inhalation of dusts arising from
cutting applications may endanger the health of the operator
and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask specifically
designed for protection against dust and fumes and ensure that
persons within or entering the work area are also protected.

This tool is double insulated; therefore no earth
wire is required. Always check that the power
