HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE

When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the user, remain safe. Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.

• Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood this manual.
  Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency.

• Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor could result in you slipping.

• Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted, the location should provide good natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable do not expose the tool to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.

• Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
  Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up and from children. This includes battery chargers.

• Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool will result in tool failure and user injury. This covers the use of accessories.

• Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become entangled in moving machinery. This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine. Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties removed. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.

• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swart can all be dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must be protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect against dust and swart by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the more common hazards and preventions, however, always find out what hazards are associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.

• Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes connect the machine (if possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if possible.

• Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply cable. If the product is heavy, employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.

• Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.

• Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable, keep blades sharp, moving parts clean, oiled or greased, handles clean, and emergency devices working.

• Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake, some parts may continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop, then

• unplug it from the power supply before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.

• Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have been removed and are safely away from the machine.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the switch and take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.

• Carefully select an extension lead. Some machines are not suitable for use with extension leads. If the tool is designed for use outdoors, use an extension lead also suitable for that environment. When using an extended lead, select one capable of handling the current (amps) drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable to heat up and can result in fire.
  Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.

• Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains safe to use.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIGSAWS

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

Changing blades

• Ensure the saw is unplugged before changing blades and take care to prevent entrapment of the fingers between the blade and the shoe. Ensure the blade is secure before use.
• Use the appropriate blade for the material being cut. Different blades are available from your Draper stockist.
• Only use blades in perfect working condition. Discard and replace any cracked or bent saw blades.

When sawing

• Use of the mains cable: Ensure the mains cable is kept well away from the saw blade and ensure an adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by the length of the cable.
• Allow sufficient clearance beneath the work to ensure the blade does not come into contact with the floor, bench etc.
• Switching off: Never place the saw on a table or bench if it has not completely stopped. The saw blade will continue to operate for a short time after the trigger has been released to stop the saw.
• Cutting of pipes: Use caution when cutting hollow pipe and do not cut material where the blade can enter the pipe when fully retracted, this can cause the blade to strike the inside of the pipe causing the user to experience unexpected reaction forces.
• Cutting into walls: Do not cut through walls or cavities without checking for hidden electrical wires or water pipes.
• Do not attempt to remove tool from work until the blade has completely stopped and allow time for it to cool before touching the blade immediately after use.
• Use clamps and vices to secure the workpiece where possible.
• Cutting sheet materials – Do not cut material less than at least twice the pitch of the saw blade. At least two teeth must be in contact with the work at all times.
• Beware foreign objects – When cutting pre-used wood, ensure all nails have been removed beforehand. Nails will damage the saw blade.
• Cooling agents – When cutting materials, always use a cooling agent, i.e. cutting/soluble oil.
• Do not attempt to saw small objects including those which cannot be properly secured. Always hold the saw with both hands.

RESIDUAL RISK

Important note: Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain residual risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must therefore always be operated with caution!

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

Caution: Risk of electric shock. Do not open. This appliance is supplied with a moulded 3 pin mains plug for your safety. The value of the fuse fitted is marked on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need replacing, ensure the substitute is of the correct rating, approved to BS1362 and ASTA or BS Kite marked.

• ASTA
• BSI

The fuse cover is removable with a small plain slot screwdriver. Ensure the fuse cover is replaced before attempting to connect the plug to an electrical outlet. If the cover is missing, a replacement must be obtained or the plug replaced with a suitable type.  If a replacement plug is to be fitted this must be carried out by a qualified electrician.  The damaged or incomplete plug, when cut from the cable should be disabled to prevent connection to a live electrical outlet. This appliance is Class llt and is designed for connection to a power supply matching that detailed on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted. If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance. Follow all the instructions supplied with the extension lead.
Double insulated [QI: This product requires no earth connection as supplementary insulation is applied to the basic insulation to protect against electric shock in the event of failure of the basic insulation.

IMPORTANT

If using an extension lead, follow the instructions that came with your lead regarding maximum load while cable is wound. If in doubt, ensure that the entire cable is unwound. Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which could melt the lead and cause a fire.

PREPARING THE JIGSAW

BLADE INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT – FIGS.1 – 3 A jigsaw can be used for a variety of applications so the correct blade choice is important.

• Use the slots in the clear plastic dust guard CID to access the two blade clamp hex. bolts@.
• Using the supplied hex. key @, loosen the two hex. bolts @.
• Making sure the blade teeth are facing forward, slide the blade @ up into the blade clamp. The blade should sit within the groove of the blade supporting roller.
  Re-tighten the hex. bolts, securely locking the blade in place.

Note: This jigsaw will fit both Universal and Bayonet fitting blades.

BASIC JIGSAW OPERATIONS

TRIGGER SWITCH AND LOCKING BUTTON OPERATION-FIG.4 To operate the saw:

• Depress the ON/OFF trigger switch CD.
  For continuous saw operation:

• Depress the ON/OFF trigger switch CD.

• With the ON/OFF trigger switch depressed, press and hold the continuous use locking button®·

• Release the ON/OFF trigger switch – the saw will now run in continuous operation.

• Depress the ON/OFF trigger switch CD to stop the saw.

• Always wear ear defenders during use.

Caution: The saw blade may continue moving for a couple of seconds after the switch is released.

VARIABLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

The variable speed adjustment dial ® is located on the ON/OFF trigger switch CD.
The operator rotates the dial in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction to limit or maximise the amount of pressure that can be applied to the trigger. This in turn regulates the cutting speed of the saw.

• Rotate the dial clockwise/anticlockwise in either
• or + directions.

GENERAL CUTTING

Important: Always wear safety goggles. Important: Due to the shape of the body, this machine can be operated with only one hand, but for reasons of safety it is strongly advised to keep both hands on the machine during use.

Note: Applying pressure on the blade can overload the motor and result in damage.

• During cutting operations, make sure that the base is always resting on the workpiece.
• When cutting metals, it is advisable to spread a few drops of oil on the cutting line to help keep the blade cool and help prolong the blade life.
• Sheets should always be rested on sufficient stable supports (chipboard or plywood tables). In this manner dragging is avoided and the elasticity of the material is compensated for.
• Small workpieces should be securely clamped in order that they remain in position during working operations (for example: fix in position with a clamp).

Note: When using longer blades and cutting thicker material, sideways pressure can cause the blade to bend and start to bevel the cut edge. Keep the blade straight to ensure a perpendicular cut.

Caution: Make certain the end of the blade does not contact with obstructions below the workpiece as this will cause the saw to recoil and possibly result in the blade breaking and injury.

ANGLED/BEVEL CUTTING -FIGS.6-8 For making bevel cuts the base can be adjusted to angles of 45° in either direction.

• Using the supplied hex. key®, loosen the bevel cutting adjustment bolts ® located on the underside of the base plate®·
• Slide the base plate ® backwards and adjust to the desired angle.
• Slide the base plate forwards, locking in position and re-tighten the hex bolt to secure.

Note: If using the jigsaw in conjunction with the parallel guide@, it must be removed to carry out the above step.

Note: Convenient hex. key storage ® is incorporated into the base of the power supply cable (fig.8).

PARALLEL GUIDE – FIG.9 If the material to be cut has a straight edge, the supplied parallel guide CID can be used as an aid to track the straight edge.

• Pass the parallel guide through the points in the base.
• Tighten the two parallel guide locking bolts ® to secure the guide firmly.

Make a test cut on a scrap piece of timber prior to making any cuts on the work piece and adjust accordingly.

Note: When not in use, tighten bolts ® to prevent them vibrating loose and getting lost.

DUST EXTRACTION – FIGS.10 – 11 Inhalation of dust particles can be detrimental to health. The dust extraction outlet (I) must be connected to a suitable dust extraction device.

• The saw is supplied with a dust extraction adaptor that slots onto the dust extraction outlet (I) This enables the saw to be connected up to a suitable dust extraction device.

Warning! All wood dust (including dust from composites like chipboards and fibre boards etc.) is hazardous to health. It can affect the nose, the respiratory system and the skin. For example, MDF (medium-density fibreboard) which contains formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. In addition to the above measures a correctly fitted dust mask, suitable for the activity and in accordance with the relevant standard, must be worn.

• Contact Draper Tools for details of the comprehensive range of professional CE marked face masks available – all conforming to EN specifications.
