SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORK AREA
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c) Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must
be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be
suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
b) Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of
any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
3. PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while 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) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or “OFFposition before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the bat-
tery pack into a tool with the switch ON” invites accidents.
d) Remove all adjusting keys and wrenches. Make a habit of checking that adjusting keys,
wrenches, etc. are removed from the tool before turning it ON”.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
f) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection may be used for appropriate conditions.
g) Keep hands away from all cutting edges and moving parts.
h) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facili-
ties, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce
dust-related hazards.
4. TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work-piece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
b) Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will
0302
NA-WT545-M-051115.indd 2 2005-11-15 17:10:30
Cordless Jigsaw WT545
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Excessive force only causes
operator fatigue, increased wear and reduced control.
c) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. A tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
d) Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the “LOCKED or “OFF”
position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
e) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
f) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: pa-
per 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
g) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and easier to control.
h) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
i) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on an-
other tool.
j) Use the right tool. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed
5. SERVICE
a) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
b) When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions
in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to fol-
low Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS JIGSAWS
WARNING! Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “livewire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2) Always keep your hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being
cut because the nearness of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.
3) Always wear eye protectors when using tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for ap-
plications which generate dust.
4) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Sharp blades will do the job better and safer. Bent
blades can break easily or cause kickback.
5) The base plate must always be held firmly against the material being cut to reduce
saw vibration, blade jumping and blade breakage.
6) Never stop the cutting blade by applying side pressure to the blade.
7) Only withdraw the blade from the cut when the blade has stopped moving.
8) Do not reach underneath the work-piece while cutting. The guard cannot protect you
0302
NA-WT545-M-051115.indd 3 2005-11-15 17:10:30
Cordless Jigsaw WT545
from the blade below the work-piece.
9) Your jigsaw is a hand-held tool, do not clamp your jigsaw.
10) Before cutting, check the cutting line is free of nails, screws, etc.
11) Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power cable and pipes.
12) Do not cut material containing asbestos.
13) Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition because it does not have
to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
14) Disconnect battery pack from the tool or place switch in the “LOCKED or “OFF”
position before making any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
15) Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others who may
use this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure they have these instructions.
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paint
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk to these exposures varies, depending on 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 specifically designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Before using the tool, read the instruction
book carefully.
1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS JIGSAW
Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you must
charge once before use. Your battery pack will not be
fully charged until you have performed several charge
and discharge operations by charging & working with
your drill. After this your battery pack performance will
improve.
Warning: The charger and battery pack are specif-
ically designed to work together so do not attempt
to use any other devices. Never insert or allow metallic
objects into your charger or battery pack connections be-
cause an electrical failure and hazard will occur.
2. HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY PACK (See
Fig 1)
1) Connect the battery charger to the power supply. The
red light will illuminate for 3 seconds and then it will go
out.
Note: If the red light ashes at a rapid rate (approx. 5
flashes per second), this means that the charger has
failed and must be replaced.
2) Fully insert the battery pack into the charger. With
a normal charging process, only the red light will illu-
minate to show charging has started. The red light will
remain on during the charging process. A discharged
battery at normal ambient temperature will take approx-
imately 1 hour to reach full charge.
Note: If the battery temperature is lower than 36ºF (0ºC),
the green light will flash slowly (approximately 1 flash
per second). Remove the battery and allow the battery
to warm-up to a charging temperature between 140ºF
(60ºC) and 95ºF(35ºC).
If the battery temperature is over 140ºF (60ºC), the green
light will flash rapidly (approximately 5 flashes per sec-
ond). Remove the battery and allow the battery to cool-
down to a charging temperature between 36ºF and 95ºF
(2ºC and 35ºC).
If the battery temperature is over 176ºF (80ºC), the charg-
ing process will be stopped, and the red light will flash
with a low speed (approximately 1 flash per second). The
battery must be replaced.
3) When the charging is complete, only the green light
will illuminate.
Note: When the battery is under charging and its volt-
age cannot reach 8V in 2 minutes, we consider the bat-
tery to be “dead”, and the red light will flash with a low

Cordless Jigsaw WT545
speed (approximately 1 flash per second). Remove the
“dead” battery from the charger and replace with a new
battery.
4) When the charging process is nished, the battery is
still charging with a current 200mA.
Note: The charger timer-circuit and battery pack tem-
perature safety-cutout device prevents overcharging of
the battery pack. However, it is recommended to remove
the battery from the charger when the charging cycle
has been completed as indicated by the illumination of
the green light.
Warning: After extended periods of use, the
battery will become hot. Allow the hot bat-
tery to cool down for at least 1 hour before re-
charging.
3. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK
Locate latches on side of battery pack and depress both
sides to release battery pack from your drill. Remove bat-
tery pack from your drill. After recharge insert the battery
pack into drills battery port. A simple push and slight
pressure will be sufficient.
4. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH
Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental starting.
Depress lock off button (B) then on/off switch (A) and re-
lease lock off button (B). Your switch is now on. To switch
off just release the on/off switch (See Fig 2).
The jig saw can be turned ON or OFF by squeezing or
releasing the switch. The speed of the blade can be ad-
justed by the pressure you apply to the switch. To in-
crease the speed, apply more pressure to the switch. To
decrease the speed, apply less pressure.
5. HAND GRIP AREAS
Always ensure you maintain a firm grip while operating
your jigsaw.

6. DUST COVER
When operating your jigsaw the dust cover must be
closed to allow the dust extraction system to work ef-
ficiently. The dust cover can be lifted to improve access
for cleaning, blade fitting, etc. (See Fig 3).
7. BLADE FITTING
You can only use the blade type shown in Fig 4. To open
the blade holder (6) rotate the ring counter-clockwise
(Jigsaw upside down) and hold in position (See Fig 5).
Then fully insert the blade into the blade holder slot with
blade teeth facing forward and release the ring, which
will self rotate and clamp over the top of the blade. Push
the blade into the blade holder again to ensure it is locked
in position. Ensure the edge of the blade is located in the
groove of the blade guide (See Fig 6). To remove a blade,
hold the blade and rotate the blade holder ring counter-
clockwise then lift out the blade (blade could be spring
ejected).
Warning: Blade teeth are very sharp, wear
gloves when changing blades.
For best cutting results ensure you use a blade
suited to the material and cut quality you need.
Blade is spring ejected. Protect your eyes when
removing blade.
8. PARALLEL GUIDE ADJUSTMENT
The parallel guide is used for making cuts parallel to a
work-piece edge at a chosen distance. Slide the paral-
lel guide (16) arm through both fixtures to achieve the
required cutting distance and tighten screw to lock into
position. It can be used from both sides of the base plate
(10). The cutting distance is shown on the guide scale.
Always make a trial cut to check the setting.
Warning: The parallel guide as well as the
splintering protector can only be used for
the(normal) position.
9. BLADE GUIDE
Ensure the blade is located and runs smoothly in the
groove (See Fig 6) otherwise the pendulum function will
not work correctly and the blade will not be supported
during cutting.
10. PENDULUM ACTION CONTROL
The pendulum action varies the forward cutting angle of
the blade for increased cutting efficiency. This can also
be adjusted during no load running. Refer to the chart
for more details. Do not use excessive blade force when
cutting with the pendulum action. The blade cuts on the

upward stroke only (See Fig 7).
11. BASE PLATE
Adjusting the angle of the base plate (10) enables bev-
el cutting. The base plate must always be held firmly
against the materials being cut to reduce saw vibration,
blade jumping or blade breakage.
12. BASE PLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
Using a Hex key. Loosen the bolts securing the base
plate (See Fig 8). For pre-set angles rotate the base so
the angle markings on the base plate line up with the
markings on the angle plate (14) for preset angles (0°,
15°, 30°, 45°) (See Fig 9,10). For other miter angles, rotate
to your desired angle (use a protractor scale). Follow-
ing 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 mark-
ings on the base plate are accurate for most general pur-
pose cutting but it is recommended for accurate work to
set the angle with a protractor and make a test cut on a
piece of scrap material.
13. BLADE PROTECTION BAR
The blade protection bar is located in front of the blade
holder. While working, it will help prevent accidental
contact with the moving blade.
14. DUST BLOWER AIR HOLE
This is a small hole located underneath the housing just
behind the blade guide. Ensure this is kept clean to al-
low the airflow to continually blow dust away from the
cutting area.
15. SPLINTERING PROTECTOR
The splintering protector (15) prevents the splintering of
the surface when sawing in wooden materials. Press the
splintering protector from below into the base plate (See
Fig 11).

16. DISPOSAL OF AN EXHAUSTED BATTERY
PACK
To preserve natural resources, please recycle or dispose
of the battery pack properly. This battery pack contains
nickel-cadmium batteries. Consult your local waste au-
thority for information regarding available recycling
and/or disposal options. Discharge your battery pack by
operating your drill, then remove the battery pack from
the drill housing and cover the battery pack connections
with heavy duty adhesive tape to prevent short circuit
and energy discharge. Do not attempt to open or remove
any of the components.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR JIG-
SAW
If your power tool becomes too hot, set the speed to
maximum and run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the
motor.
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. Ensure your uppermost sur-
face is a non-visible surface when your work is finished.
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 and on both sides
and cut through the wood during cutting.
CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight cir-
cles or angles.
POCKET CUTTING (SOFT MATERIALS ONLY)
To cut material out, either drill a hole large enough to in-
sert the jig saw blade or proceed as follows. Clearly mark
the area to be cut. Position the jigsaw over the marked
area with the rounded front edge of the base plate rest-
ing on the surface. Ensure the blade is not touching but
is close to the work surface. Switch the jigsaw on and
gently swing the blade down into the material but main-
1312
NA-WT545-M-051115.indd 12 2005-11-15 17:10:40
Cordless Jigsaw WT545
1312
tain a pivoting force on the front edge of the base. Only
when the blade has fully penetrated the material and the
full length of the base plate is firmly resting on the work
surface, you move the jigsaw forward for normal cut-
ting.
METAL CUTTING
Use a ner 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.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. WHY DOES THE SAW NOT TURN ON WHEN YOU
PRESS THE SWITCH?
The lock-off button (B) is locked and you must depress
the button (B) first (See Fig 2).
2. THE SAW BLADE MOVES SLOWLY, WHY?
Verify the battery is fully charged by pressing the battery
test button. If the battery is not fully charged, recharge
the battery with the supplied battery charger.
Note: Do not charge the battery with a different charger.
Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.
3. I CANNOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO THE BAT-
TERY CHARGER. WHY?
The battery can be inserted into the charger only in one
direction. Turn the battery around until it can be inserted
into the slot, the red LED light should turn on when the
battery is charging (See Fig 1).
4. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT CHARGING TIMES.
Your charge time can be affected by many reasons -
which are not defects in your product. If the battery pack
is only partly discharged it may be re-charged in less than
1 hour. If the battery pack and ambient temperature are
very cold then re-charging may take 1 to 1 1/2 hours. If
the battery pack is very hot it will not re-charge because
the internal temperature safety cut-out will prevent it. If
hot you must remove your battery pack from the char-
ger and allow your battery pack to cool first to ambient
NA-WT545-M-051115.indd 13 2005-11-15 17:10:40
Cordless Jigsaw WT545
temperature and then recharging can be started. If you
charge a second battery pack immediately after the first
then the charger can be over-heated. Always allow at
least 15 minutes rest between battery pack charging.
5. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT BATTERY PACK
WORKING TIMES.
Charging time problems, as above, and having not used
a battery pack for a prolonged time will reduce the bat-
tery pack working time. This can be corrected after sev-
eral charge and discharge cycles by charging & working
with your saw. Do not re-charge your battery pack below
2OC and above 35OC as this will affect performance.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer perfor-
mance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if dam-
aged, have repaired by authorized service facility.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in
your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners
to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust. If you see some sparks flashing in the ven-
tilation slots, this is normal and will not damage your
power tool.
Note: Check the blade guide for excess wear. Oc-
casionally, add one drop of general purpose oil to
each side of the blade guide for longer life.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT! Lisez et assimilez toutes les instructions. Le non-respect des in-
structions ci-après peut entraîner un risque de choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou de blessures
graves.
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
1. AIRE DE TRAVAIL
a) Veillez à ce que l’aire de travail soit propre et bien éclairée. Le désordre et le manque
de lumière favorisent les accidents.
b) N’utilisez pas d’outils électriques dans un milieu présentant un risque d’explosion,
par exemple en présence de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les
outils électriques créent des étincelles qui pourraient enflammer les poussières ou les va-
peurs.
c) Gardez à distance les curieux, les enfants et les visiteurs lorsque vous travaillez
avec un outil électrique. Ils pourraient vous distraire et vous faire faire une fausse ma-
noeuvre.
2.CURIÉLECTRIQUE
a) Un outil à pile avec piles incorporées ou un bloc-pile distinct doit être rechargé
uniquement avec le chargeur indiqué pour la pile. Un chargeur qui peut être adéquat
pour un type de pile peut créer un risque d’incendie lorsqu’il est utilisé avec une autre pile.
b) Utiliser un outil à pile uniquement avec le bloc-pile désigné spécifiquement.
L’emploi de toute autre pile peut créer un risque d’incendie.
3.CURIDES PERSONNES
a) Restez alerte, concentrez-vous sur votre travail et faites preuve de bon sens.
N’utilisez pas un outil électrique si vous êtes fatigué ou sous l’influence de
drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un instant d’inattention lors de l’utilisation
d’outils électriques peut entraîner des blessures graves.
b) Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez ni vêtements flottants ni bijoux. Confi-
nez les cheveux longs. Gardez les cheveux, les vêtements et les gants éloignés des pièces
en mouvement. Les vêtements flottants, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent d’être hap-
pés par des pièces en mouvement. Gardez les poignées sèches, propres et exemptes d’huile
et de graisse. Le port de gants en caoutchouc et de chaussures à semelle antidérapante est
recommandé si vous travaillez à l’extérieur.
c) Évitez les marrages accidentels. Avant d’insérer la pile dans l’outil, assurez-
vous que sa détente est á la position “OFF” (Arrêt) ou verrouillée. Le fait de trans-
porter un outil avec le doigt sur la détente/l’interrupteur ou d’insérer la batterie dans un outil
dont la détente est á la position << ON >> (Marche) peut causer un accident.
d) Retirez les clés de réglage. Prenez l’habitude de vérifier si les clés de réglage et autres
outils sont retirés de l’outil avant de le mettre en marche.
e) Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant. Maintenez un bon appui et restez en équilibre
en tout temps. Une bonne stabilité vous permet de mieux réagir à une situation inatten-
due.
f) Utilisez des accessoires de sécurité. Portez toujours une protection oculaire.
Selon les conditions, portez aussi un masque antipoussière, des bottes de sécurité antidéra-
pantes, un casque protecteur et une protection antibruit.
g) Tenez les mains à l’écart des arrêtes tranchantes et des pièces en mouvement.
h) Si un sac de récupération de poussière et port pour aspirateur est fourni, assurez

vous qu’il est correctement relié et utilide façon appropriée. L’utilisation de ce
système réduit les dangers physiques et physiologiques liés à la poussière.
4. UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DE L’OUTIL
a) Immobilisez le matériau travaillé sur une surface stable au moyen de serre-joints
ou de toute autre façon adéquate. Le fait de tenir la pièce avec la main ou contre votre
corps n’offre pas une stabilité insuffisante et peut entraîner une perte de contrôle de l’outil.
b) Ne forcez pas l’outil. Utilisez l’outil approprié à lache. L’outil approprié fonctionne
mieux et de façon plus sécuritaire. Respectez aussi la vitesse de travail qui lui est propre. Un
usage excessif, en plus de fatiguer l’utilisateur, augmentera l’usure de l’outil et rendra son
maniement plus difficile.
c) N’utilisez pas un outil si l’interrupteur ne le met pas en marche ou ne peut l’arrêter.
Un outil qui ne peut être contrôlé par l’interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.
d) Débranchez le bloc-pile de l’outil ou mettez son commutateur en position << OFF
>> (Arrêt) ou <<LOCKED>> (Verrouillé) avant d’effectuer un glage, de changer
d’accessoire ou de ranger l’outil. De telles mesures de sécurité préventive réduisent le
risque de démarrage accidentel de l’outil.
e) Rangez les outils hors de la portée des enfants et d’autres personnes inexpéri-
mentées. Les outils sont dangereux dans les mains d’utilisateurs novices.
f) Lorsque le bloc-pile n’est pas en usage, tenez-le à l’écart d’autres objets métal-
liques tels que trombones, pièces de monnaie, clés, clous, vis ou autres petits
objetstalliques susceptibles d’établir une connexion d’une borne à une autre.
Le court-circuitage des bornes de batterie peut causer des étincelles, des brûlures, une ex-
plosion ou un incendie.
g) Prenez soin de bien entretenir les outils. Les outils de coupe doivent être toujours
bien affûtés et propres. Des outils bien entretenus, dont les arrêtes sont bien tranchantes,
sont moins susceptibles de se coincer et plus faciles à contrôler.
h) Soyez attentif à tout désalignement ou coincement des pièces en mouvement,
à tout bris ou à toute autre condition préjudiciable au bon fonctionnement de
l’outil. Si vous constatez qu’un outil est endommagé, faites-le réparer avant de
vous en servir. De nombreux accidents sont causés par des outils en mauvais état.
i) Utilisez seulement les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant de votre modèle.
Certains accessoires peuvent convenir à un outil, mais être dangereux avec un autre.
j) Utilisez l’outil approprié à la tâche à accomplir. Ne forcez pas l’outil ni l’accessoire en
tentant d’effectuer une tâche pour laquelle ils n’ont pas été conçus.
5. ENTRETIEN
a) L’entretien ou la réparation de l’outil doit être réalisé seulement par du personnel
qualifié. L’entretien ou la réparation d’un outil électrique, effectués par un amateur, peuvent
avoir des conséquences graves.
b) Pour l’entretien d’un outil, n’employez que des pièces de rechange identiques.
Suivez les directives fournies dans la section <<Entretien>> du présent manuel.
L’emploi de pièces non autorisées ou le non-respect des instructions d’entretien peut créer
un risque de choc électrique ou de blessures.

GLES DE CURI SUPPLÉMENTAIRES POUR SCIES
SAUTEUSES SANS CORDON
AVERTISSEMENT! La non observance de ces règles peut conduire à des blessures
graves.
1) Lors de l’exécution d’une opération au cours de laquelle l’outil de coupe peut venir
en contact avec les fils cachés ou son propre cordon, tenez l’outil par ses surfaces
isolées de préhension. Le contact avec un fil sous tension rendra les pièces talliques
exposées de l’outil sous tension et causera des chocs à l’opérateur.
2) Gardez les mains à l’écart de la zone de coupe. Ne placez surtout pas la main sous le
matériau que vous coupez. Il est impossible de déterminer exactement la proximité de la lame
de votre main.
3) Portez toujours des lunettes à coques latérales ou des lunettes de protection en
utilisant cet outil. Utilisez un respirateur ou un masque anti-poussières pour les ap-
plications produisant de la poussière.
4) N’utiliser pas de lames émoussées ou endommagées. Les lames bien affûtées scient
mieux et améliorent la sécurité. Les lames pliées peuvent aisément se fracturer ou causer un
rebond.
5) La base doit être maintenue fermement contre le matériau à couper afin de réduire les
vibrations de la scie, les sauts et cassures de lame.
6) N’arrêtez jamais la scie de coupe par pression latérale sur la lame.
7) Ne retirez la scie de la pièce travaillée que lorsque la lame s’est arrêtée.
8) En travaillant, ne mettez pas vos mains sous la pièce; le garde ne protège pas de la lame
en dessous de l’ouvrage.
9) La scie sauteuse est un outil à main, ne pas la fixer sur un établi.
10) Avant la coupe, vérifier que la ligne de coupe est dépourvue de clous, vis, etc.
11) Toujours vérifier les murs, sols et plafonds afin de voir s’il existe des câbles et tuy-
aux cachés.
12) Ne pas couper de matériaux contenant de l’amiante.
13) Rappelez vous que cet outil est toujours en état de fonctionnement possible parce
qu’il ne doit pas être branché dans une prise de courant.
14) Sortez le bloc pile de l’outil ou placez son commutateur en position << OFF >> (Ar-
rêt) ou <<LOCKED>> (Verrouillé) avant d’y faire un travail quelconque, d’effectuer un
réglage ou de changer d’accessoire. Une telle mesure de sécurité préventive préviendra
le démarrage accidentel de l’outil.
15) Conservez ces instructions. Reportez-vous y fréquemment et utilisez-les pour informer
d’autres personnes qui pourraient utiliser cet outil. Si une autre personne utilise cet outil, as-
surez-vous de lui fournir ces instructions.
AVERTISSEMENT! Les travaux à la machine tel que ponçage, sciage, meulage,
perçage et autres travaux du bâtiment peuvent créer des poussières contenant
des produits chimiques qui sont des causes reconnues de cancer, de malfor-
mation congénitale ou d’autres problèmes reproductifs. Ces produits chimiques sont, par
exemple:
• Le plomb provenant des peintures á base de plomb
• Les cristaux de silices provenant des briques, du ciment et d’autres produits de maçonnerie
• L’arsenic et le chrome provenant des bois traités chimiquement
Le niveau de risque à cette exposition varie avec la fréquence de ces types de travaux. Pour
réduire l’exposition à ces produits chimiques, il faut travailler dans un lieu bien ventilé et porter un
