3. General safety instructions

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, re and/ or serious injury. 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) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. 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 or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric 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 and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. 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 electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an31 RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 inuence of drugs, 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 is in the o-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. 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 personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 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 moving parts. 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-related 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 not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o. 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 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. e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aect 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 to control. 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 dierent from those intended could result in a GB32 hazardous situation.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

4. Special safety instructions

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.

• Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.

• Pay attention that the base plate 6 rests securely on the material while sawing. A jammed saw blade can break or lead to kickback.

• When the cut is completed, switch o the machine 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 machine securely.

• Use only sharp, awless saw blades. Bent or unsharp saw blades can break or cause kickback.

• Do not brake the saw blade to a stop by applying side pressure after switching o. The saw blade can be damaged, break or cause kickback.

• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to re and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.

• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

• Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.

• Always wait until the machine has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The tool insert can jam and lead to loss of control over the power tool.

• Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric shock.

The benets are that you will protect both the equipment and your own health. Your work area will also be cleaner and safer. Dust created when working may be dangerous. Refer to the section entitled “Safety instructions”. Fit the adapter (6) as shown in Figure 8. The adapter (6) must audibly engage to ensure that it is secure in the soleplate (7). The adapter for chip extraction (6) cannot be used for miter cuts. Fit the vacuum tube of the vacuum cleaner onto the adaptor opening (6). Check that the connections are airtight.

You can lock the ON/OFF switch (3) using the locking button (2) when the equipment is in operation. To lock it, press the ON/OFF switch (3) and slide the locking button (2) to the left or right. To switch o the equipment briey hold down the ON/OFF switch (3).

8.3 Electric speed selector (Fig. 9)

You can pre-select the required speed with the speed selector. Turn the speed selector in PLUS director to increase the speed and turn the speed selector in MINUS direction to reduce the speed. The suitable stroke speed is dependent on the relevant material and working conditions. General rules for cutting speeds for metal cutting work must be complied with here as well. You can generally use a higher speed with ne saw blades whilst coarser saw blades require lower speeds. saw blade. Set the selector switch for pendulum action (8) to position 3. The teeth of the saw blade are very sharp! Pull up the safety guard (15) (see point 7.1). Press the blade holder (14) and insert the saw blade (12) into the blade holder (14) as far as the stop (Fig. 4). The teeth on the saw blade must be pointing forwards. Allow the blade holder (14) to slide back to starting position. The saw blade (12) must sit in the guide roller (10) (Figure 5). Check that the saw blade (12) is securely mounted in the blade holder. Follow the instructions above in reverse order to remove the saw blade.

7.3 Installing the parallel stop (Figure 6/Item

11) The parallel stop (11) enables you to saw parallel cuts. Undo the two locking screws (13) on the soleplate (7). Now slide the parallel stop (11) into the guides on the soleplate (7). You can t the parallel stop (11) on either the left or right of the equipment. The guide strip must always face downwards. Set the required distance using the measurement scale on the parallel stop (11) and tighten the locking screws (13) again.

7.4 Setting the soleplate for miter cuts (Fig. 7)

Undo the locking screw (18) on the soleplate. Pull the soleplate (7) slightly forward. The soleplate can now be swiveled a maximum 45° to the left and right. If the soleplate (7) is pushed back to the rear again it will only function in the locking positions at 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°, which are marked on the graduated scale for the soleplate (9). Move the soleplate into the required position and refasten the locking screw (18). However, the soleplate (7) is also easily set to another angle. To do so, slide the soleplate (7) forwards, set the desired angle and refasten the locking screw (18).35 Position 1-2 = low stroke speed (for steel) Position 3-4 = medium stroke speed (for steel, soft metal, plastic) Position 5-6 = high stroke speed (for softwood, hardwood, soft metal, plastic)

8.4 Setting the pendulum action (Fig. 10)

The strength of the pendulum action of the saw blade (12) can be adjusted using the selector switch for pendulum action (8). You can adjust the cutting speed, the cutting performance and the nish to the workpiece you wish to saw. The best combination of speed and pendulum action depends on the material you wish to saw. We recommend you to make a trial cut on a waste piece in order to check the ideal settings.

8.5 Using the laser (Fig. 11)

The laser (16) enables you to make precision cuts. The laser light is generated by a laser diode. The laser light is enlarged to form a line and is emitted through the laser emission aperture. You can then use the line as an optical marker for the sawing line for precision cuts. Follow the laser safety instructions. Use the switch for the laser (4) to switch the laser o. The laser beam can be aected by deposits of dust and chips. The emission aperture of the laser beam must therefore be cleaned after each use. Always switch o the laser when not in use.

8.6 Inserting/Changing the batteries (Fig.12-

13) Open the battery housing (17). Put two AAA 1.5V batteries (19) in it or replace the at batteries. Caution! Two AAA 1.5V batteries are not in delivery.

Ensure that the ON/OFF switch (3) is not depressed. Only then should you connect the mains plug to a suitable socket. Do not switch on the jigsaw until you have tted a saw blade. Use only saw blades that are in perfect condition. Replace blunt, bent or cracked saw blades immediately. Place the saw foot at on the workpiece you wish to saw. Switch on the jigsaw. Allow the saw blade to accelerate until it reaches full speed. Then slowly move the saw blade along the cutting line. Only exert gentle pressure on the saw blade as you do so. When cutting metal, apply a suitable coolant along the line you wish to cut.
