[. . . ] Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). - Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used. [. . . ] - Push the footplate (9) forward in the angles provided until it engages. Initial Operation Before plugging in the device, check to see that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as specified on the rating label, match your power supply. Remove the saw blade before fitting the antisplintering footplate insert (2). Insert the anti-splintering footplate from the front, ensuring the following: • The smooth side of the footplate faces upwards. If you are working with the protective plate attached (1) (depending on fittings), fit the anti-splintering footplate insert in the protective plate. - Turn the clamping lever (18) forwards to the stop and hold in place. Ensure that the blade is correctly positioned in the groove of the saw blade support roller (16). The best way to determine the ideal setting is through a practical trial. STE 140 Plus, STEB 140 Plus: Setting wheel setting "A" = automatic start-up ENGLISH en system: during sawing, the speed automatically increases to the maximum speed. The best way to determine the ideal setting is through a practical trial. A Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off when the plug is removed from the mains socket or if there has been a power cut. In continuous operation, the machine continues running if it is forced out of your hands. Therefore always hold the machine with both hands using the handle provided, stand securely and concentrate. STE 140, STE 140 Plus: Switching on: Push the slide switch (8) forward (continuous operation). Press the trigger more to increase the speed (up to preset maximum speed, see chapter 8. Continuous operation: For continuous operation, the pressed trigger (13) can be locked using the lock button (14). The LED light (3) lights up when the machine is connected and in motion. The LED light switches off after a few seconds when the machine is not in motion. F Plunging You can plunge the jigsaw blade into workpieces made from thin, soft materials without needing to drill a hole beforehand. Set the adjustment lever (6) to the "0" position (pendulum motion is deactivated). Position the jigsaw with the front edge of the footplate (9) on the workpiece. Once the saw blade has penetrated the workpiece, the pendulum motion can be activated. [. . . ] Energy-rich, high-frequency interference can cause fluctuations in speed and eventually standstill. However, the fluctuations disappear as soon as the interference fades away. Emission values Using these values, you can estimate the emissions from this power tool and compare these with the values emitted by other power tools. The actual values may be higher or lower, depending on the particular application and the condition of the tool or power tool. [. . . ]
