Additional Safety Warnings for Jigsaws
•
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
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.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
•
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach
•
underneath the workpiece for any reason. Do not
insert fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating
blade and blade clamp. Do not stabilize the saw by gripping
the shoe.
Keep blades sharp. Dull or damaged blades may cause
•
the saw to swerve or stall under pressure. Always use the
appropriate type of saw blade for the workpiece material and
type of cut.
When cutting pipe or conduit, make sure that they are
•
free from water, electrical wiring, etc.
Do not touch the workpiece or the blade immediately
•
after operating the tool. They can become very hot.
•
Be aware of hidden hazards, before cutting into walls,
floors or ceilings, check for the location of wiring
and pipes.
The blade will continue to move after releasing the
•
switch. Always switch the tool off and wait for the saw blade
to come to a complete standstill before putting the tool down.
Residual Risks
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
•
Impairment of hearing.
•
Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
•
Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
•
Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
