5 Safety instructions

5.1

General safety instructions

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 ref-

erence.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to

your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat-

tery-operated (cordless) power tool.

5.2

Machine-related safety instructions

–

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cut-

ting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its

own cord.  

Cutting accessory contacting a "live"

wire may make exposed metal parts of the power

tool "live" and could give the operator an electric

shock.

–

Festool electric power tools must only be in-

stalled  on  work  tables  provided  by  Festool  for

this purpose. 

If the tool is installed in another, or

self-made, work table, it can become unstable

and result in serious accidents. 

–

Wait until the power tool stops completely until

placing it down.

 The tool can become entangled

and lead to a loss of control of the power tool.

– Deformed or cracked saw blades and saw blades

with blunt or broken cutting edges must not be

used.

– Always place the pendulum jigsaw on the work-

piece with the saw blade running.

– Wear suitable protection such as ear protection,

safety goggles, a dust mask for work which gen-

erates dust, and protective gloves when working

with raw materials and when changing tools.

– Always secure the workpiece in such a manner

that it cannot move while being sawed.

– Always connect the machine to a dust extractor

when work involves dust generation.

– Check the plug and the cable regularly and

should either become damaged,  have  them  re-

placed by an authorised after-sales service

workshop.

–

Stroboscopic light can cause epileptic seizures.

Do not use this machine if you are susceptible to

epileptic seizures.

– Do not look into the stroboscope light. Looking

into the light source can damage your vision.

5.3

Metalworking

The following precautions are to be taken

when processing metals for safety reasons:

–Pre-connect a residual current circuit-

breaker (FI, PRCD).

– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.

– Clean tool regularly of dust accumulations in the

motor housing.

5.4

Emission levels

Levels determined in accordance with EN 60745 are

typically:

Vibration emission value a

h

 (vector sum for three

directions) and uncertainty K measured in accor-

dance with EN 60745:

The specified emissions values (vibration, noise) 

– are used to compare machines.

– They are also used for making preliminary esti-

mates regarding vibration and noise loads during

operation.

– They represent the primary applications of the

power tool.

Wear protective goggles.
