Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing power tools. Such preven-
tive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
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 use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edg-
es are less likely to bind and are easier to con-
trol.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the pow-
er tool for operations different from those intend-
ed could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pow-
er tool is maintained.
Safety Warnings for Jigsaws
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfac-
es, 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.

Additional Safety and
Working Instructions
Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do
not reach under the workpiece. Contact with
the saw blade can lead to injuries.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when
switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kick-
back when the cutting tool jams in the work-
piece.
Pay attention that the base plate rests secure-
ly on the material while sawing. A jammed saw
blade can break or lead to kickback.
When the cut is completed, switch off the ma-
chine 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.
Use only undamaged saw blades that are in
perfect condition. Bent or dull saw blades can
break, negatively influence the cut, or lead to
kickback.
Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by apply-
ing side pressure after switching off. The saw
blade can be damaged, break or cause kick-
back.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo-
cal utility company for assistance. Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pen-
etrating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
Always wait until the machine has come to a
complete stop before placing it down. The tool
insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the
power tool.
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the
mains plug.
Do not direct the light beam at persons or ani-
mals and do not stare into the light beam your-
self (not even from a distance).
Check the tight seating of the saw blade. A
loose saw blade can fall out and lead to injuries.
The saw blade should not be longer than re-
quired for the intended cut. Use a narrow saw
blade when sawing tight curves.
