SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIG SAWS
2.
Important! Use of any accessories or attachments other than those supplied or
recommended in these operating instructions can mean the risk of injury.
When using jig saws ear protectors and a face mask should be worn. Exposure to noise can
cause damage to hearing.
Do not use the jig saw to cut asbestos or materials containing asbestos.
Do not leave power tools running unattended. Always switch off and do not put down or
leave until it has stopped completely.
Long hair must be covered. Do not work in loose fitting clothing.
Be careful when working on walls. Damage to power supply lines, gas or water pipes can
lead to dangerous situations. Use appropriate detectors to establish whether there are
concealed wires or pipes in the working area.
Secure the work piece. The work piece is only secure if it is held by work-holding devices or
in a vice.
Caution: saw blades can get very hot.
Saw blades must be kept sharp and in good condition. Replace partially fractured and
broken saw blades immediately.
Work calmly and evenly with the jig saw. You will thus avoid accidents and the saw blades
and the jig saw will last longer.
Do not use for cutting pipes or cables.
Do not use cracked, blunt or damaged blades.
Do not start the saw if no blade is fitted.
Check there are no obstructions in/on the surface under the item to be cut.
