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 surface,

when performing an operation where the cut-

ting accessory may contact hidden wiring. 

Cut-

ting accessory contacting "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and

could give the operator an electric shock.

–

The charger and power tool are not intended for

use by persons (including children) with limited

physical, sensory or mental ability or without

sufficient experience and/or knowledge, unless

they are supervised by a person responsible for

their safety or have been instructed on how the

charger or power tool is to be used.

Children

should always be supervised to ensure that they

do not play with the charger or the power tools.

–

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.

– Do not open the battery pack or the charger. Even

after disconnection from the mains, there is still

a high capacitor voltage inside the charger.

– Make sure that metal objects (such as metal

chips) or fluids do not enter the machine through

the battery pack retaining slots (danger of short

circuit).

– Do not charge battery packs from other manu-

facturers. The charger is designed for charging

original battery packs only. Never charge the bat-

tery packs in chargers from other manufactur-

ers. Otherwise there is a danger of fire and

explosion.

–

Protect the battery pack from excessive heat or

constant heat sources such as sunlight or naked

flames.

 There is a risk of explosion.

–

Never use water to extinguish burning li-ion

battery packs, always use sand

 or a fire blanket.

– 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-
