- 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 invites accidents.

- 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.

- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of a dust extraction system may reduce dust-related hazards.

- Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Power tool use and care

• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and / or the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
• 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 carefully. 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 gripping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Device-specific safety warnings for jigsaws

Warning of laser radiation

Laser class 2, P max.: < 1 mW, λ: 650 nm, EN 60825-1:2014

Do not look directly into the laser beam or the opening from which it emerges.

Never point the laser beam at people, animals or reflective surfaces. Even brief eye contact can lead to eye damage.

Examining the laser output aperture by use of optical instruments (e.g. magnifying glass, magnifiers and the like) entails the risk of eye damage.

When working with a laser of class 2, observe the national regulations on wearing eye protection.

• Hold the device by its insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the insertion tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use appropriate detection equipment to track down concealed supply lines or consult the local utility companies. Contact with electrical lines may result in fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line may lead to an explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage and may cause an electric shock.
• Vibrations can be harmful to the human hand-arm system. Keep the vibration exposure time to a minimum.
• Secure the workpiece. The grip of tensioning devices or a vice is more secure than holding the workpiece only by hand.
• Clean the shank of the saw blade before inserting it. A dirty shank cannot be fastened securely.
• Check the saw blade for tight fit. A loose saw blade could fall out and injure you.
• Before switching on the power tool, ensure that the insertion tool can move freely. If the device is switched on with a jammed insertion tool, the resulting forces can be extreme causing the device to kick out sideways.
• Do not work on moistened material or moist surfaces.
• Only hold the power tool against the workpiece when the tool is switched on and running. Otherwise there is a risk of kickbacks.
• Make sure that the base plate is positioned securely on the contact face during sawing. A jammed saw blade could break or cause a kickback.

• Keep your hands out of the sawing area. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. Risk of injury upon contact with the saw blade.

• Keep your hands away from lifting rod and quick-release chuck. Crushing hazard upon contact with these components.

• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Regularly check the quick-release chuck for wear or damage.
• Only use intact, flawless saw blades. Bent and blunt saw blades could break or cause a kickback.
• Do not attempt to slow down the saw blade movement by pressing against the blade from the side once the device is switched off. The saw blade could be damaged, break or cause a kickback.
• Switch off the power tool when your operation is completed, but do not remove the saw blade from the kerf until it has come to a standstill. This serves to avoid a kickback, then you can put the power tool down safely.
• Immediately switch off the power tool if the insertion tool gets jammed. The power tool can lash out to the side owing to the forces that build up consequently.
• Wait until the power tool has come to a standstill, before putting it down. The insertion tool could get caught resulting in a loss of control of the power tool.
