[. . . ] Distractions can cause you to lose control. 2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. [. . . ] Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) 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. 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. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) 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. 5) SERVICE a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIG SAWS GENERAL · Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a 220V supply) · Check the functioning of the tool before each use and, in case of a defect, have it repaired immediately by a qualified person; never open the tool yourself · Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic) · This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years · The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear ear protection · Wear protective goggles when working with materials which produce chips · Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful (contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable · Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable · Follow the dust-related national requirements for the materials you want to work with · Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps (U. K. 13 Amps) · Always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustment or changing any accessory BEFORE USE · Remove all obstacles on top of as well as underneath the cutting path before you start cutting · Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and other elements in your workpiece; remove them before you start working · Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand) DURING USE · Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord (a cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock) · When the plugged-in tool is not in use, the tool handle may warm up; this is normal and does not indicate a problem · Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool; direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool · If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug · Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced by a qualified person · In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug · Keep hands away from the saw blade while the tool is in use ACCESSORIES · SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only when original accessories are used · Do not use a saw blade which is cracked, deformed or dull OUTDOOR USE · When used outdoors, connect the tool via a fault current (FI) circuit breaker with a triggering current of 30 mA maximum, and only use an extension cord which is intended for outdoor use and equipped with a splashproof coupling-socket AFTER USE · When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill LASER RADIATION · Do not look into the laser beam (laser radiation) 4 · Do not point the laser beam at persons or animals · Do not use any magnifying optical tools (such as magnifying glasses, telescopes, or binoculars) to view the laser beam · Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust · Do not operate the tool with children around WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U. K. ONLY): · Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug · If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended USE · · · · 10 On/off 5 Speed control for smooth starting 6 Switch locking for continuous use 7 Changing saw blades 8 !insert blade to full depth with teeth facing forward 9 !use T-shank blades only · Sawing at 15°/30°/45° 0 · Adjusting sawing speed to material used !if the tool does not run with wheel D in position 1, select a higher sawing speed and lower the sawing speed while the tool runs · Dust suction @ - connect vacuum cleaner to extension E !do not use vacuum cleaner when cutting metal · Selecting sawing mode # Use lever F 2 for adjusting the orbital action from accurate cutting (= 0) to fast cutting (= III) - 1 setting ("0") for accurate cutting in all materials, straight + curved - 3 settings for fast cutting in different materials, straight cuts only I = metal II = plastic III = hard wood !always select "0" when sawing splinter-sensitive material · Laser line $ - for guiding tool along desired line of cut marked on the workpiece - switch on/off laser line by pressing switch G - before starting a job, check the alignment of the laser line with the actual line of cut by making a trial cut on a piece of waste material !do not attempt to adjust the laser line with screw X which is pre-set at manufacturing !do not remove or damage warning label A 2 · Operating the tool - before switching on the tool, ensure that front end of footplate rests flat on the workpiece - hold tool firmly with both hands, so you will have full control of the tool at all times !while working, always hold the tool at the grey-coloured grip area(s) % - ensure that complete surface of footplate rests firmly on the workpiece !use T-shank blades only · When cutting metals, lubricate saw blade regularly with oil · Use rip fence J for making parallel cuts & · For an accurate straight cut, guide tool with footplate along the edge of a straight piece of wood * · Pre-drill a hole before making cut-outs ( · Splinter-free cutting - cover cutting-line with several layers of wide tape before cutting - always face the good side of the workpiece down · For more tips see www. skileurope. com MAINTENANCE / SERVICE · Always keep tool and cord clean (especially ventilation slots H 2) ! [. . . ] Le fait de porter des équipements de protection personnels tels que masque anti-poussières, chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes, casque de protection ou protection acoustique suivant le travail à effectuer, réduit le risque de blessures. c) Evitez tout démarrage intempestif. S'assurez que l'interrupteur est en position arrêt avant de brancher l'outil au secteur et/ou au bloc de batteries, de le ramasser ou de le porter. Porter les outils en ayant le doigt sur l'interrupteur ou brancher des outils dont l'interrupteur est en position marche est source d'accidents. [. . . ]
