d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained
Cutting Tool Safety
Use the correct cutting tool
• Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is suitable
without checking the product literature before use.
Protect your eyes
• Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools
• Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this product;
normal lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter
Protect your hearing
• Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 80dB
Protect your breathing
• Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks
Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity of
the work area are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided
with suitable protective equipment
Hidden objects
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects before
cutting
• Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you know
that the cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
• Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel lines,
and long grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the work area
thoroughly before proceeding
Beware of projected waste
• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting
tool. It is the users responsibility to ensure that other people in the work area
are protected from the possibility of projected waste
Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches /
adjusters are removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of
the blade or cutter
Beware of heat
• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change
tools until they have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal
swarf is explosive
• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting
are a common cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working
environment
Jigsaw Safety
For safety relating to protective clothing/equipment and general health hazards
relating to power tools; refer to General and Electrical Safety sections in this
manual
• Be aware that the cutting blade will project from the underside of the
workpiece. Ensure all supports and power cables are completely clear of the
cutting path
• See specification section of this manual for the correct type of blade. Incorrect
blades may not be secured correctly, causing a safety hazard
• Ensure that an appropriate blade is used for the material being cut
• Do not attempt to cut material thicker than detailed in the specifications section
of this manual
• Do not force the blade to bend or twist whilst cutting
• Always keep the shoe pressed against the workpiece
• If a cut does not extend to the edge of the workpiece, allow the blade to come
to a complete stop before lifting it from the workpiece
• Blades will be hot after cutting. Allow to cool completely before handling
• If a blade jams, disconnect machine from the mains power supply before
attempting to free blade
• Support or clamp the workpiece to avoid vibration, and ensure a good cut
• This saw should only be used as instructed. Do not attempt to mount this saw
to any kind of saw bench or stand
