Safety instructions

5.1 General safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for fu-
ture reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
5.2 Machine-related safety instruc-
tions
– Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an opera-
tion 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.
– Festool electric power tools must only
be installed on work tables provided by
Festool for this purpose. If the tool is in-
stalled in another, or self-made, work table,
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 con-
trol 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 protec-
tion, 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 man-
ner that it cannot move while being sawed.
– Always connect the machine to a dust ex-
tractor when work involves dust generation.
– Check the plug and the cable regularly and
should either become damaged, have them
replaced by an authorised after-sales ser-
vice workshop.

en when processing metals for safety
reasons:
