2.3 Additional safety instructions
Personal safety
▶ Use the power tool only when it is in technically faultless condition.
▶ Never tamper with or modify the power tool in any way.
▶ Always hold the power tool with both hands on the grips provided. Keep the grips clean and dry.
▶ Suitable protective glasses, ear protection and protective gloves must be worn while the power tool is in
use.
▶ Wear protective gloves when changing the accessory tool. Touching the accessory tool presents a risk
of injury (cuts or burns).
▶ Wear eye protection. Flying fragments present a risk of injury to the body and eyes.
▶ Do not look directly into the light source (LEDs) incorporated in the power tool and do not direct the light
at other persons' faces. This presents a risk of dazzling or eye damage.
▶ Before beginning the work, check the hazard classification of the dust that will be produced. Use an
industrial vacuum cleaner with an officially approved protection classification in compliance with locally
applicable dust protection regulations.
▶ Make sure that the workplace is well ventilated and, where necessary, wear a respirator appropriate for
the type of dust generated. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or
respiratory or other diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust, such as oak and
beech dust, are classified as carcinogenic, especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos may be handled only by specialists.
▶ Take breaks between working and do physical exercises to improve the blood circulation in your fingers.
Exposure to vibration during long periods of work can lead to disorders of the blood vessels and nervous
system in the fingers, hands and wrists.
Electrical safety
▶ Before beginning work, check the working area for concealed electric cables or gas and water pipes.
External metal parts of the power tool may give you an electric shock if you damage an electric cable
accidentally.
Careful handling and use of electric tools
▶ Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped in a vice or secured by some other clamping device is more
secure than when held only by hand.
Special safety instructions for jig saws
▶ Always guide the product away from your body when working with it.
▶ Never position your hands ahead of or on the saw blade.
▶ Never cut into unknown materials and keep the line of cut above and below the workpiece free of
obstacles.
▶ Never reach or grip below the workpiece while cutting.
2.4 Careful handling and use of batteries
▶ Observe the special guidelines applicable to the transport, storage and use of lithium-ion batteries.
▶ Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, direct sunlight or fire.
▶ Do not take apart, squash or incinerate batteries and do not subject them to temperatures over 80 °C.
▶ Do not attempt to charge or continue to use damaged batteries.
▶ If the battery is too hot to touch, it may be defective. In this case, place the power tool in a non-flammable
location, well away from flammable materials, where it can be kept under observation and left to cool
down. Contact Hilti Service after the battery has cooled down.
