Where there are connection points provided for vacuum dust extraction please use them, and ensure they are working properly.

Do not use the mains lead for purposes for which it was not intended.
- Do not use the mains lead to pull the plug out of the mains socket. Protect the mains lead from heat, oil and sharp edges.
12. Secure the workpiece.
Use clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much safer than holding it with your hand.
13. Avoid placing your body in an unnatural position.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Look after your tools carefully.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. This way you will work more safely and achieve better results.

Check the condition of extension leads regularly and replace them if they are damaged. - Keep handles and hand grips clean, dry and free of oil and grease.
15. Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket.
- Do this if the electrical power tool is not being used, before carrying out maintenance tasks on the electrical power tool and whenever you are changing inserted tools, e.g. saw blades, drills or router bits.
16. Make sure that no spanners, keys etc. are left attached.
Check before switching on that all spanners, keys and setting tools have been removed.
17. Avoid unintentionally starting up the device.
Check that the switch is set to OFF on the device when the mains plug is inserted into the mains socket.
18. Using an extension lead for working outdoors.
When working outside, always use an approved and appropriately labelled extension lead.
19. Remain alert.
Watch what you are doing. Proceed with caution. Do not use electrical power tools if you cannot concentrate.
20. Check the electrical power tool for damage.
Before the electrical power tool is used, carefully check the safety equipment and any slightly damaged parts to see that they are still working properly.
Check that all moving parts on the tool are working properly, can move freely and are not damaged. All parts must be correctly attached and fulfil all the requirements necessary to allow the electrical power tool to operate properly.
Damaged safety equipment and components must be properly repaired or replaced at a competent electrical equipment repair centre unless otherwise indicated in the operating instructions.
Damaged switches must be replaced at a Customer Service Centre.
Never use an electrical power tool that cannot be switched on and off properly.
21. ATTENTION!
The use of inserted tools and accessories other than those recommended by the manufacturer could lead to you being injured.
22. Have your electrical power tool repaired at an electrical equipment repair specialist.
This electrical power tool complies with the relevant safety regulations. Repairs may only be carried out by a specialist electrical repair centre using original spare parts, otherwise injury could occur to the user.

Safety advice relating specifically to scroll saws
Ensure that the scroll saw stands on a level, horizontal surface.
- Do not touch the mains lead if it becomes damaged or cut through while you are using the device. Pull the plug out of the mains socket immediately and have the device repaired by a
suitably qualified person or at the Customer Service Centre.
Always work with the mains lead leading away from the rear of the device.
If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug immediately out of the mains socket.
Always switch on the electrical power tool before moving the workpiece against it. Otherwise there is the risk of kickback.
Do not cut moist materials or damp surfaces,
Use only undamaged, defect-free saw blades Distorted or blunt saw blades can break or cause a kickback.
Ensure that the teeth on the saw blade point downwards before you mount it in the device.
DANGER OF INJURY! Keep your hands away from the area of the saw blade.
Before sawing, check the workpiece for foreign bodies such as nails etc. and remove them. Injury and/or damage to property may result from the saw blade striking nails etc. embedded in the workpiece.
Always keep the device clean, dry and free from oil or grease.
Switch off the device before you remove any wood residue from around the saw blade.
Otherwise you could become injured.
A WARNING! HAZARDOUS DUSTS /
VAPOURS! Any noxious dusts or vapours generated from sawing represent a risk to the health of the person operating the device and to anyone near the work area.
Do not saw materials containing substances harmful to health.
Do not use the tool on materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
Make sure you have adequate ventilation.

Wear protective glasses, hearing protection, dust protection masks and protective gloves.
- Advice on use
Push the workpiece slowly and with minimum pressure on to the saw blade.
Reduce the rate of advance when you are cutting thicker material.
Hold the workpiece firmly on the table with both hands and push it slowly towards the saw blade. Otherwise the saw blade may twist or break.
Avoid making any sharp changes in direction during sawing to prevent the saw blade from twisting or tearing.
Before starting the saw cut, drill a hole at a corner or internal cut-out in the workpiece and start sawing from the hole.
Use the correct saw blade. The choice of saw blade depends on the thickness and type of material and the intended cut.
Select a saw blade with fine teeth to saw thin, hard materials.
Use a narrow saw blade to saw small radius cuts.
