breathing mask on dusty jobs.
Never leave any tool keys or adjustment spanners
in position on the machine. Before switching on,
check that all keys and adjustment spanners have
been removed.
Secure the workpiece (with a clamp) so that it
cannot slip.
It is imperative to use a dust extractor when
working on stone (cutting or grinding). Make sure
the dust extractor is approved for stone dust.
It is prohibited to use the machine on
asbestos materials.
Please note the accident
prevention regulations in force in your country.
Use only original spare parts.
Repairs are to be carried out by qualified

noise protection measures for the user. The noise
produced by this electric tool is measured in
accordance with IEC 59 CO 11, IEC 704,
DIN 45635 Part 21, NFS 31-031 (84/537/EEC).
Make sure of your footing. Avoid abnormal

use them near inflammable liquids.
Never carry the machine by its power cable. Keep
the power cable safe from damage. Oil, solvent

Use only sharp saw blades that are in perfect
condition. Replace bent and cracked saw blades
immediately.
After switching off the jigsaw, do not press against
the side of the blade to bring it to a halt.
Always cut at a steady rate of progress. This will
prevent accidents and prolong the life of your jig-
saw and the blade.
