GENERAL POWER TOOL

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety

warnings and all instructions.

Failure tofollow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for

future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings

refers to your electric (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do notoperate power toolsin

explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammableliquids, gases

or dust.Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders

away whileoperating apower tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2) ELECTRICALSAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do notuse any adapter

plugswith grounded power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets

will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators.There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your

body is grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain

or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the riskofelectric

shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use

the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord

away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts.Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating apower tool

outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdooruse. Use of acord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk

of electric shock.

f) If operating apower tool in adamp

location isunavoidable, use a residual

current device (RCD) protected

supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk

of electric shock.

3) PERSONALSAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense when

operating apower tool. Do notuse

apower tool while you are tired or

under the influence ofdrugs, alcohol

or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection.Protective

equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate

conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch isin the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or

battery pack, picking up or carrying

the tool. Carrying power tools with your

finger on the switch or energising power

tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key orwrench

before turning the power tool on.A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating

part of the power tool may result in

personal injury.

e) Do notoverreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do notwear loose

clothing orjewellery. Keep your

hair, clothing and gloves away from

moving parts.Loose clothes, jewellery

or long hair can be caught in moving

parts.

g) Ifdevices are provided for the

connection ofdust extraction and

collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related

HELPLINE NO 08454 505299

ORIGINALINSTRUCTIONS

hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it was designed.

b) Do notuse the power tool if the

switch does not turn iton and off.Any

power tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from

the power tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories,

or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idlepower toolsoutof 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 orbinding of moving

parts, breakage ofparts and any other

condition that may affect the power

tool’s operation. 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.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier tocontrol.

g) 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 power tool for

operations different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE

a) Have yourpower tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts.This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is

maintained.

b) If the replacement of the supply cord

is necessary, thishas to bedoneby

the manufacturer orhis agent in order

to avoid a safety hazard.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY

RULES FOR YOUR JIGSAW

1. Always wear a dust mask.

2. Hold power tool byinsulated

gripping surfaces when performing

an operation where the cutting tool

may contact hidden wiring orits own

cord. Contact with a” live” wire will make

exposed metal parts of the tool” live” and

shock the operator.

3. Use clamps or another practical way

to secure and support the workpiece

to a stableplatform. Holding the work

by hand or against your body leaves it

unstable and may lead to loss of control.

4. Always wear safety glasses or eye

shieldswhen using the jigsaw.

Everyday eyeglasses have only

impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT

safety glasses. Following this rule will

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

5. Always wear hearing protection

during extended periodsofoperation.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of

serious personal injury.

6. Keep yourhands away from cutting

area. Do not reach under the material

being cut because the nearness of the

blade toyour hand is hidden from your

sight.

7. Do notuse dull ordamaged blades.

Bent blades can break easily, or cause

kickback.

8. Remove the plug from the socket before

carrying out any adjustment, servicing or

maintenance.

9. Fully unwind cable drum extensions to

avoid potential overheating.

10.When an extension cable is required you

must ensure it has the correct ampere

rating for your power tool and is in a safe

electrical condition.

11.Ensure your mains supply voltage is the

same as indicated on the rating plate.

12.Your tool is double insulated for

ORIGINALINSTRUCTIONS

additional protection against a possible

electrical insulation failure within the

tool.

13.Always check walls, ﬂoors and ceilings

to avoid hidden power cables and pipes.

14.After long working period, external metal

parts and accessories could be hot.

15.Only withdraw the blade from the cut

when the blade has been stopped

moving.

16.The pivoting blade foot must be held

ﬁrmly against the material being cut to

reduce saw vibration, blade jumping and

blade breakage.

17.Before cutting, check the cutting line is

free of nails, screws, etc.

18.If possible, ensure the work-piece is

ﬁrmly clamped to prevent movement.

19.Never stop the cutting blade by applying

side pressure tothe blade.

20.Your Jigsaw is a hand held tools, do not

clamp your Jigsaw.

4. USING THE JIGSAW

Before using the saw and connecting the

mains cable, make sure the trigger switch

is in the off position.

a) Standard cutting

Set the base at 0° so that the saw blade

is at 90° with the base. Make sure that the

plug is disconnected from the mains.

Mark the cutting line on the work piece

(good side down) .Place the jig saw on the

work piece flat. Plug the power plug into

the wall outlet. Switch on the jigsaw until it

runs stably. Then the blade goes forwards

slowly along the cutting line while applying

light pressure on the saw.

Never force the jigsaw forward as this

will twist the blade and cause the cut to

be off line. Simply allow the jigsaw to do

the work and move the jigsaw forward to

maintain contact between the blade and

work piece.

a) Use the supplied hexagon-socket spanner

to undo the two screws on the ram.

b) Slide the saw blade into the guide slot and

up to the stop between the piston rod and

the retention clip.

c) Use the supplied hex key to tighten the

two screws. The teeth of the saw blade

must face in cutting direction.

Make sure that the saw blade sits firmly.

saw along the cutting line.

3. Do not use too much pressure to achieve

the best progress when sawing.

4. When sawing along a marked line use

the marking on the splitting guard as a

guide.

5. For exact cutting, clamp a timber batten

onto the material as an aid or use the

parallel guide.

6. For mitres/bevels cut, set the base plate

in the required position.

7. Set the base plate to its rearmost position

for cutting close to an edge.

9.If your power tool becomes too hot,

especially when used at low speed, set

the speed to maximum and run no load
