General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a

Customer Helpline 1300 889 028

Safety Information
Important - Please read these instructions fully before starting assembly
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
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.
e) Maintain power tools. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 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) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
1. Always wear a dust mask.
2. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool 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.
WARNING: Some dust particles created by power sawing, contain chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
●Lead from lead-based paints.
●Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
●Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
●Work in a well-ventilated area.
●Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or battery pack.
b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical shock.
e) In the event of battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come into contact with the
skin or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts
of water and seek medical advice.
f) Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or battery pack has been swallowed.
g) Keep battery pack clean and dry.
h) Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
i) Battery pack needs to be charged before use. Always refer to this instruction and use
the correct charging procedure.
j) Do not maintain battery pack on charge when not in use.
k) After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the
battery pack several times to obtain maximum performance.
l) Battery pack gives its best performance when it is operated at normal room
temperature (20 °C ± 5 °C).

6. ADJUSTING THE CUTTING ANGLE (SEE FIG. G, H)
Using a Allen key (4). Loosen the bolts securing the base plate (SEE FIG G). For preset
angles rotate so the lines of the angle on the base plate and angle plate (6) superposition
at the desired angle (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°) (SEE FIG H).For other miter angles, rotate to your
desired angle (use a protractor scale). Following one of the above procedures, hold the base
plate in position and firmly tighten the bolts to clamp the base plate at the desired angle.
Finally, check the angle and ensure the base plate is firmly clamped. The angle markings
on the base plate are accurate for most general purposes but it is recommended for
accurate work to set the angle with a protractor and make a test cut on other material.

Working hints for your Jig Saw
If your jig saw becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum
and run no Load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and material thickness to be cut. Always ensure
the work–piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. For easier control, use low
speed to start cutting, then increase to correct speed.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the
upward stroke and may chip the uppermost surface or face of the work piece. Ensure your
uppermost surface is a non-visible surface when your work is finished.
1. CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a fine tooth blade when cutting most laminates and thin wood materials. To reduce edge
chipping, clamp pieces of waste wood at both ends on both sides and cut through the waste
wood during cutting.
2. CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight circles or angles.
3. PLUNGE SAWING
Plunge cutting may be used only on soft materials such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum
plaster boards, etc.
Use only short saw blades.
Place the front edge of the base plate on the workpiece and switch on. Press the tool firmly
against the workpiece and plunge the saw blade slowly into the workpiece.
As soon as the complete surface of the base plate rests on the work piece, continue to saw
along the cutting line. (SEE FIG J, K)
4. METAL CUTTING
Use a finer tooth blade for ferrous metals and a coarse tooth blade for non-ferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metals, always clamp wood on both sides of the sheet to reduce
vibration or tearing of the sheet metal. Both wood and sheet metal must be cut. Do not force
the cutting blade when cutting thin metal or sheet steel, as they are harder materials and
will take longer to cut. Excessive blade force may reduce the life of the blade or damage the
motor. To reduce heat during metal cutting, add a little lubricant along the cutting line.
