Special Safety Instructions

• Hold the 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.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Ensure that the place where you wish to work is free of power cables, gas lines or water pipes (e.g. check using a metal detector).
• Do not try to saw extremely small workpieces.
• When sawing, the footplate must make secure contact with the workpiece.
• When interrupting a cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold the saw motionless in the material until the saw blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the saw from the workpiece while the saw blade is in motion or kickback may occur.
• Do not switch the machine on while the saw blade is touching the workpiece. Let the saw blade reach full speed before making a cut.
• When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre the saw blade in the kerf and check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the material. If the saw blade seizes, it may kickback from the workpiece when the saw is restarted.
• Keep hands well away from the sawing area and the saw blade. Do not reach underneath the workpiece.
• Remove chips and similar material only with the machine at a standstill.
• Danger of injury due to the sharp jigsaw blade. After stopping work, the jigsaw blade may still be hot. Wear protective gloves.
• Remove the battery pack from the machine before making any adjustments, changing tools, maintaining or cleaning.
• Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the machine is switched off.
• Remove the battery pack from the machine when not in use.

CAUTION Do not stare at operating lamp (4) . Do not observe the radiation directly with optical instruments.

WARNING – Always wear protective goggles.

Reducing dust exposure:

WARNING – Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.This also applies to dust from other materials, such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Use a suitable extraction unit.

Reduce dust exposure with the following measures

• do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream towards yourself or nearby persons or towards dust deposits,
• use an extraction unit and/or an air purifier,
• ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
• Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush protective gear.

Safety instructions for battery packs

• Protect battery packs from water and moisture!
• Do not expose battery packs to fire!
• Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!Do not open battery packs!
• Do not touch or short circuit battery pack contacts!
• A slightly acidic, flammable fluid may leak from defective Li-Ion battery packs!
• If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If battery fluid leaks out and comes into contact with your eyes, wash them with clean water and seek medical attention immediately!
• If the machine is defective, remove the battery pack from the machine.

Transport of Li-Ion battery packs:
The shipping of Li-Ion battery packs is subject to laws related to the carriage of hazardous goods (UN 3480 and UN 3481). Inform yourself of the currently valid specifications when shipping Li-Ion battery packs. If necessary, consult your freight forwarder. Certified packaging is available from Metabo.
Only send the battery pack if the housing is intact and no fluid is leaking. Remove the battery pack from the machine for sending. Prevent the contacts from short-circuiting (e.g. by protecting them with adhesive tape).
