The vibration emission level given in this information
sheet has been measured in accordance with a
standardised test given in EN60745 and may be
used to compare one tool with another. It may be
used for a preliminary assessment ofexposure.
WARNING: The declared vibration
emission level represents the main
applications of the tool. However if the
tool is used for different applications,
with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may
differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total
workingperiod.
An estimation of the level of exposure to
vibration should also take into account
the times when the tool is switched off
or when it is running but not actually
doing the job. This may significantly
reduce the exposure level over the total
workingperiod.
Identify additional safety measures to
protect the operator from the effects of
vibration such as: maintain the tool and
the accessories, keep the hands warm,
organisation of workpatterns.

read the instructionmanual.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or seriousinjury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to
your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) powertool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas inviteaccidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
orfumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to losecontrol.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of
electricshock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is earthed orgrounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electricshock.
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 electricshock.

English
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must berepaired.
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 toolaccidentally.
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
untrainedusers.
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 use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained powertools.
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 hazardoussituation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool ismaintained.
Additional Specific Safety Rules for
Jig Saws
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
theoperator.
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and shock theoperator.
• Allow the motor to come to a complete
stop before withdrawing the blade from
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electricshock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electricshock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personalinjury.
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
personalinjuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure
the switch is in 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 invitesaccidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personalinjury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in
unexpectedsituations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair
can be caught in movingparts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-relatedhazards.
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
wasdesigned.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power

INTENDED USE
Your jig saw has been designed for professional
cutting of wood, steel, aluminium, plastic and
ceramicmaterial.
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in the
presence of flammable liquids orgases.
These jig saws are professional power tools.
DO NOT let children come into contact with the
tool. Supervision is required when inexperienced
operators use thistool.
• Young children and the infirm. This appliance
is not intended for use by young children or
infirm persons withoutsupervision.
• This product is not intended for use by persons
(including children) suffering from diminished
physical, sensory or mental abilities; lack of
experience, knowledge or skills unless they are
the kerf(the slot created by cutting). A
moving blade may impact the workpiece
causing a broken blade, workpiece damage or
loss of control and possible personalinjury.
• Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil
and grease. This will enable better control of
thetool.
• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the
saw to swerve or stall underpressure.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after
heavy use. Dust and grit containing metal
particles often accumulate on interior surfaces
and could create an electric shockhazard.
• Do not operate this tool for long periods of
time. Vibration caused by the operating action
of this tool may cause permanent injury to
fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide
extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and
limit daily time ofuse.
WARNING: We recommend the use of
a residual current device with a residual
current rating of 30mA or less.
Residual Risks
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 ofhearing.
– Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
– Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.
– Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.
