preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
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.
Maintain power tools and accessories. 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 power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
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.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified . Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 130°C may cause an explosion.
Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
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 is maintained.
Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Safety instructions for jigsaws
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. 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 the sawing area. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade
can lead to injuries.
Only bring the power tool into contact with the workpiece when switched on. Otherwise, there is a danger
of kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
Ensure that the footplate always rests securely while sewing. A jammed saw blade can break or lead to
kickback. When the cut is completed, switch off the power tool 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 power tool
securely.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application
tool can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
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 applying side pressure after switching off . The saw blade can
