g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and 
properly used. 
Use of dust collection can 
reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-
rect power tool for your application. The 
correct power tool will do the job better 
and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch 
does not turn it on and off. Any power 
tool that cannot be controlled with the 
switch is dangerous and must be re-
paired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power 
source and/or the battery pack from the 
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing 
power tools. 
Such preventive safety 
measures reduce the risk of starting the 
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of 
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these in-
structions to operate the power tool. 
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of 
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, 
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s op-
eration. If damaged, have the power tool 
repaired before use. 
Many accidents are 
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to bind and 
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool 
bits etc. in accordance with these in-
structions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed. 
Use of the power tool for 
operations different from those intended 
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical 
replacement parts. 
This will ensure that 
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Jigsaws
f
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, 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.
f
Keep hands away from the sawing range. 
Do not reach under the workpiece. 
Contact 
with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
f
Apply the machine to the workpiece only 
when switched on. 
Otherwise there is dan-
ger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in 
the workpiece.
f
Pay attention that the base plate 7 rests se-
curely on the material while sawing. 

jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-
back.
f
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 kickback and 
can place down the machine securely.
f
Use only sharp, flawless saw blades. Bent or 
unsharp saw blades can break or cause kick-
back.
f
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by ap-
plying side pressure after switching off. 
The 
saw blade can be damaged, break or cause 
kickback.
f
Use suitable detectors to determine if utili-
ty lines are hidden 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.
