Power tool use and care

u 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 de-

signed.

u Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it

on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

u Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or re-

move the battery pack, if detachable, from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

u 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.

u Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for mis-

alignment 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.

u Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

u Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-

count the working conditions and the work to be per-

formed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

u 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

u Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-

facturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-

tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

u Use power tools only with specifically designated bat-

tery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a

risk of injury and fire.

u When 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.

u Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-

curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-

tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the bat-

tery may cause irritation or burns.

u Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or

modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit

unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk

of injury.

u Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excess-

ive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above

130°C may cause explosion.

u 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

u 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.

u Never service damaged battery packs. Service of bat-

tery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer

or authorized service providers.

Safety instructions for jigsaws

u Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cutting ac-

cessory 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 elec-

tric shock.

u 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 un-

stable and may lead to loss of control.

u Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach

under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can

lead to injuries.

u Only bring the power tool into contact with the work-

piece when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of

kickback if the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.

u Ensure that the footplate always rests securely while

sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kick-

back.

u 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.

u Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-

plete stop before placing it down. The application tool

can jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.

u 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.

u Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side

pressure after switching off. The saw blade can be dam-

aged, break or cause kickback.

u Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hid-

den supply lines or contact the local utility company
