EXTRA SAFETY REGULATIONS CONCERNING JIG SAW
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting 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.
• IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of a jig saw, obtain advice from a qualified person.
• The jig saw is double insulated. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
• Wear dust mask.
• Avoid cutting nails when operate with the wood blade. Inspect the workpiece carefully and remove all nails and staples
before operation.
• Make sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and workpiece throughout the stroke. Blades may shatter if they
strike the workpiece or shoe.
• Do not cut oversized workpiece.
• Check for proper clearance beyond the workpiece before cutting so the blade will not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
• Keep the saw blades clean and sharp.
• Use only correct blades.
Always use blades recommended for the type of workpiece.
• Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
• Always release the switch to OFF and wait for the tool to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from
the workpiece.
• Keep the handle dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when cleaning. Do not use solvents,
brake fluids, gasoline or other petroleum products to clean the tool, they may damage plastic parts.
• Do not operate this tool in a gaseous or explosive atmosphere or near explosive materials.
• Never force the tool.
Apply firm pressure against the saw pivot shoe for the sawing operation--too little or too much pressure
could cause jumping, vibration and break the blade.
• Never operate the saw without the pivot shoe in position. The spindle may strike against the workpiece and damage the
reciprocating mechanism.
• Hold the tool firmly.
• Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after the sawing operation. It may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
