Work area safety

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

Electrical Safety

1. 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. 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.

3.  Do not expose power tools to rain or we conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord f0,r ca ryiAg, p lling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
   Damaged or entangled cords increase the ris of ele tric shock.

5. 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.

6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is blnavmidable, use a resi ual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sensewhen operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating powel tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. PF’otective equipmef\t sucl:l as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position oefore connecting to power sot1rce 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 tne switcli on inv·tes accidents.

4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left atta he o a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

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

6. 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.

7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilitigV,ensure these are eonnected”lina properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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

Power tool use and care

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove 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.
4. 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.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. 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.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

3. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Specific safety warnings for jigsaws

1. Hold the power tool by its insulated gripping surfaces only when performing an operation where the fitted 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 shock the operator.
2. Always connect the vacuum cleaner adapter provided to a suitable vacuum cleaner. Dust and chips generated while sawing wood or metal make the workplace untidy and may catch fire or explode.
3. Wear a dust mask and safety goggles. Dust and chips generated while sawing wood or metal may be hazardous to health.
4. Wear ear protection. Noise can cause loss of hearing.
5. Keep the workplace clean and clean it regularly by removing the sawing waste. Untidiness at the workplace may cause accidents.
6. Always use saw blades of the correct size and with the suitable holder. Saw blades which do not fit the saw’s blade clamping mechanism do not run properly and can result in loss of control over the machine.
7. Never use blunt or damaged saw blades. Saw blades with blunt or misaligned teeth increase the friction and result in jamming of the saw blade.
8. Inspect the workpiece for nails and other hard objects before starting work and remove if necessary. This may cause the saw blade to seize resulting in considerable force being exerted on the machine. For this reason it is very important to always grip the machine with two hands and to maintain a secure stance.
9. Ensure firm footing when using the cordless jigsaw and reciprocating saw. Consider the possibility that the saw blade could snap or that the workpiece could slip or move suddenly after cut breakthrough; adopt a stance where this could not lead to injury.
10. Do not touch the saw blade after making a cut and make sure the saw is in a safe place after finishing work. Saw blades can become extremely hot, especially when cutting metal.
11. Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Hold the saw with both hands. It is not possible to come into contact with the saw blade if both hands are placed on the machine.
12. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The guard cannot protect you from the blade underneath the workpiece. Always hold the shoe firmly against the work piece when working. After completing a cut, allow the saw blade to stop completely before pulling it out of the workpiece.
13. Always hold the shoe firmly against the work piece when working. After completing a cut, allow the saw blade to stop completely before pulling it out of the workpiece.
14. Secure the workpiece. It is safer to secure a workpiece with a clamp or a vice than holding it by hand. When cutting metal sheets, fix the workpiece on a wooden board to prevent vibrations tha c:ou let jam the saw blade.
