Do not use the product for any other purpose. Use of the product for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
JIGSAW SAFETY WARNINGS
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. 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 hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
- Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0°C and 40°C.
- Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and 40°C.
- The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
- Dust may enter the eyes or respiratory system. Wear eye protection at all times. Wear appropriate dust control mask with filters suitable for protecting against particles from the material being cut. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Take care when blind-cutting into walls and floors where cables may be hidden.
- The blades are very sharp and will become hot during use. Wear gloves when changing blades. Keep hands away from the cutting area at all times.
ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS
- To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
- Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C and 40°C.
- Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and 20°C.
TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions and
regulations.
Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when transporting
batteries by a third party. Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with
other batteries or conductive materials while in transport by protecting
exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or tape. Do not
transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding
company for further advice.

MAINTENANCE
- The product should never be connected to a power supply when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product is not in use. Disconnecting the product from the power supply will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
- When servicing, use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts, accessories and attachments. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
- Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
- Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
- For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by an authorised service centre.

WARNING
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values
given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a
standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may
be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main
applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different
applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the
vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly
increase the exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation of
the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the
times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions
may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects
of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories,
keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
