5 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 future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-
tery-operated (cordless) power tool.
5.2 Machine-related safety instructions
– Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting 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 in-
stalled on work tables provided by Festool for
this purpose. If the tool is installed in another, or
self-made, work table, it can become unstable
and result in serious accidents.
– Wait until the power tool stops completely until
placing it down. The tool can become entangled
and lead to a loss of control 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 work-
piece with the saw blade running.
– Wear suitable protection such as ear protection,
safety goggles, a dust mask for work which gen-
erates dust, and protective gloves when working
with raw materials and when changing tools.
– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner
that it cannot move while being sawed.
– Always connect the machine to a dust extractor
when work involves dust generation.
– Check the plug and the cable regularly and
should either become damaged, have them re-
placed by an authorised after-sales service
workshop.
– Stroboscopic light can cause epileptic seizures.
Do not use this machine if you are susceptible to
epileptic seizures.
– Do not look into the stroboscope light. Looking
into the light source can damage your vision.
5.3 Metalworking
The following precautions are to be taken
when processing metals for safety reasons:
–Pre-connect a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI, PRCD).
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in the
motor housing.
5.4 Emission levels
Levels determined in accordance with EN 60745 are
typically:
Vibration emission value a
h
(vector sum for three
directions) and uncertainty K measured in accor-
dance with EN 60745:
The specified emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary esti-
mates regarding vibration and noise loads during
operation.
– They represent the primary applications of the
power tool.
Wear protective goggles.
Sound pressure level L
PA
= 88 dB(A)
Noise level L
WA
= 99 dB(A)
Measuring uncertainty allow-
ance K = 3 dB
CAUTION
