English
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a ) 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.
Additional Safety Warnings for Jigsaws
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation 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.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
workpiece 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 workpiece 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.
