Additional safety rules for jigsaws
Warnings. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on
the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful
to the motor.
Your tool is double insulated for additional protection
against a possible electrical insulation failure within the
tool.
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
making any adjustments or maintenance, including
changing the blade.
• Ensure that the lighting is adequate.
• Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place
• Keep the shoe flat on the work piece.
• Do not put pressure on the saw, such that it slows
the motor down. Allow the saw blade to cut without
pressure. You will get better results and you will be
taking better care of your tool.
• Keep the area free of tripping hazards.
• Do not let anyone under 18 years operate this jigsaw.
• Only use blades in good condition.
• Before cutting, check that there is sufficient clearance
for the blade under the work piece.
• Do not touch the blade after operation. It will be very
hot.
• Keep your hands away from under the work piece.
• Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or
waste close by the blade.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be
left around the work area.
• Avoid cutting nails. Inspect the work piece and remove
all nails and other foreign objects before beginning
sawing.
• Support the work properly.
• Never reach over the blade to remove waste or off cuts.
• Do not attempt to free a jammed blade before first
switching off the machine.
• If you are interrupted when operating the saw,
complete the process and switch off before looking up.
• Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fixings
are properly tightened.
• Do not store materials or equipment above a machine
in such a way that they could fall into it.
• Always hold the saw on parts that are insulated. If you
accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own
cable, the metal parts of the saw will become ‘live’.
• Do not secure the jigsaw upside down in a vice or work
bench and use it as a saw bench. This can lead to
serious injury.
• When using the jigsaw, use safety equipment including
safety goggles or shield, ear defenders, dust mask and
protective clothing including safety gloves.

Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If
you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
