Cordless jig saw

Safety Warnings

Power tools are repaired before use, when they are
damaged. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Cutting tools properly
maintained with sharp edges are less prone to jam and
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool tips, etc. in
accordance with these instructions and taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be carried out. The
use of the power tool for applications other than those
envisaged could cause a hazardous situation.
5) Use and care of the battery
a) Make sure the switch is in the off position before inserting
the battery. Inserting the battery into the power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A suitable charger for a type of battery pack
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery

Special safety instructions

• Important! Use of any accessories or attachments other
than those supplied or recommended in these operating
instructions can mean the risk of injury.
• When using jig saws ear protectors and a face mask should
be worn. Exposure to noise can cause damage to hearing.
• Do not use the jig saw to cut asbestos or materials
containing asbestos.
• Do not leave power tools running unattended. Always
switch off and do not put down or leave until it
has stopped completely.
• Long hair must be covered. Do not work in loose fitting
clothing.
• Be careful when working on walls. Damage to power
supply lines, gas or water pipes can lead to
dangerous situations. Use appropriate detectors to establish
whether there are concealed wires or
pipes in the working area.
• Secure the work piece. The work piece is only secure if it is
held by work-holding devices or in a vice.
• Caution: saw blades can get very hot.
• Saw blades must be kept sharp and in good condition.
Replace partially fractured and broken saw
blades immediately.
• Work calmly and evenly with the jig saw. You will thus avoid
accidents and the saw blades and the jig
saw will last longer.
• Do not use for cutting pipes or cables.
• Do not use cracked, blunt or damaged blades.
• Do not start the saw if no blade is fitted.
• Check there are no obstructions in/on the surface under
the item to be cut.
• Do not attempt to cut items thicker than the maximum
cutting depth of the blade, or where there is
insufficient space for the blade under the item.
• The saw's metal parts may become conductive if the saw
comes into contact with a live wire.
Therefore only hold the saw by its insulated handle.

pack.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. The use of any other battery pack may create a risk of
injury and fire.
d) When the battery is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
or other small metal objects that can make a connection
from one terminal to another. Shorting the terminals of the
battery may cause burns or a fire.
e) In abusive conditions, the liquid can be expelled from the
battery; avoid contact. In case of accidental contact, rinse
with water. If the liquid comes in contact with the eyes, also
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
6) Technical service
a) Have your power tool checked by a qualified repair
service using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Check that the ventilation slots are not blocked.
• Never remove dust, obstructions or the like from the work
area while the blade is operating.
• Never stop the saw blade by applying pressure to the saw
or to the side of the blade.
• Do not lift the saw from the item being cut if the blade is
still running.
• Never place the saw on a table or workbench if it has not
stopped completely.
• The saw blade will continue to run a short time after the
machine has been switched off.
• 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.
Extra safety regulations concerning bat-
tery
To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the
temperature is between 18-24°C. Do not charge the battery
pack when the temperature is below 0°C, or above 45°C.
This is important. Failure to observe this safety rule could
cause serious damage to the battery pack.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously
damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery pack
can explode in a fire.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may occur
under extreme usage or temperature. This does not
necessarily indicate a failure of the battery pack. However, if
the outer seal is broken and this leakage comes into contact
with your skin:
.Wash the affected area quickly with soap and water.
.Neutralise the liquid with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar. If the leakage gets in your eyes:
.Flush your eyes with clean water for a minimum of 10
