SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS continued
Warning: Before operating this jigsaw make sure that
you have read and fully understand all of these extra
safety precautions. These safety precautions must be
observed when operating the jigsaw. Ensure that the
jigsaw is unplugged from the mains supply before
fitting, or removing the blade, or making any other
adjustments.
Make sure that the hexagonal key has been removed from the
blade securing cup head screws before switching the jigsaw on.
Remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before
starting to cut.
The jigsaw blade will continue to run for a few seconds after the
jigsaw is switched off. Always wait until the blade has completely
stopped before putting the jigsaw down.
Make sure that the jigsaw blade is securely and tightly fitted and
that the blade guard is in place before switching on.
Hold the jigsaw firmly and apply the base plate to the workpiece,
without engaging the blade, before switching on.
Make sure that the cutting path of the jigsaw is free of obstacles,
both above and below the cutting surface.
Do not work with the jigsaw above your head, or on overhead
applications.
If the blade becomes jammed, switch off immediately and
disconnect from the mains supply before clearing the obstruction.
Use only sharp and undamaged jigsaw blades. Always replace
blunt, bent, cracked, or damaged saw blades.
When cutting, the base plate must be flat on the work surface.
Make sure that the mains lead is kept to the rear of the work
area, away from the blade.
Never place your hand or fingers in front of the jigsaw blade when
cutting.
