Maintenance And Cleaning - Bort BPS-700X-Q Manual

condition that may affect 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 ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed . Use
of the power tool for operations different from those in-
tended could result in a hazardous situation .
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts . This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained .
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR JIGSAWS
• Keep hands away from the sawing range . Do not reach
under the workpiece . Contact with the saw blade can
lead to injuries .
• Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched
on . Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cut-
ting tool jams in the workpiece .
• Pay attention that the base plate securely on the material
while sawing . A jammed saw blade can break or lead to
kickback .
• When the cut is completed, switch off the machine and
then pull the saw blade out of the cut only after it has
come to a standstill . In this manner you can avoid kick-
back and can place down the machine securely .
• Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect con-
dition . Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively in-
fluence 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 dam-
aged, break or cause kickback .
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hid-
den in the work area or call the local utility company for
assistance . Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock . Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion .
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may
cause an electric shock .
• Secure the workpiece . A workpiece clamped with clamp-
ing devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand .
• Always wait until the machine has come to a complete
stop before placing it down . The tool insert can jam and
lead to loss of control over the power tool .
• Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug .
• Clean the shank of the saw blade before inserting it . An
unclean shank cannot be fastened securely .
• Check the tight seating of the saw blade . A loose saw
blade can fall out and lead to injuries .
• The saw blade should not be longer than required for the
intended cut . Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight
curves .
• If the saw blade is wedged or jammed when removing,
press the saw blade holder lightly toward the front (ap-
prox . 2 mm) .
• Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health and cause allergic reactions, lead to respira-
tory infections and/or cancer . Materials containing asbes-
tos may only be worked by specialists .
• As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suitable
for the material .
• Provide for good ventilation of the working place .
• It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator .
• Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked .
• Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace . Dusts can
easily ignite .
• Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the power
source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine . Power tools marked with 230
V can also be operated with 220 V .
• To save energy, only switch the power tool on when us-
ing it .
• The contact protector attached to the casing prevents
accidental touching of the saw blade during the working
procedure and may not be removed .
• Before sawing in wood, particle boards, building materi-
als etc ., check for foreign objects, such as nails, screws,
etc . and remove them as required .
• Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such
as wood, gypsum board, etc . For plunge cuts, use only
short saw blades .
• The sliding shoe can prevent the surface from being
scratched . The splinter guard can prevent fraying of the
surface while sawing wood . Do not use the splinter guard
for mitre cuts .
• Adapt the settings of your power tool to the respective
application . For example, reduce the stroke rate and or-
bital action when cutting metal or for tight curved cuts .
• For long and straight cuts in thick wood (>40 mm), the
cutting line can become inaccurate . In this case, using a
circular saw is recommended to achieve accurate cuts .
• In extreme conditions, always use dust extraction as far
as possible . Blow out ventilation slots frequently and
install a portable residual current device (PRCD) . When
working metals, conductive dust can settle in the interior
of the power tool . The total insulation of the power tool
can be impaired .

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying
out maintenance work on the motor .
• Regularly clean the machine housing with a
soft cloth, preferably after each use . Keep the ventilation
slots free from dust and dirt .If the dirt does not come
off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water . Never
use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc .
These solvents may damage the plastic parts .
• Lubricate the guide roller occasionally with a drop of oil .
• Should a fault occur, e .g . after wear of a part, please con-
tact your local BORT GLOBAL LIMITED dealer .
