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 dierent
applications, used with dierent accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may dier. These conditions may
signicantly 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 o or when it is
running idle. These conditions may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the
accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.

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.
Use the dust collection device or connect a dust extraction
vacuum when operating the product.
