If you accidentally drop the saw, the guard may become damaged. Check that the guard opens
and closes freely and it does not touch the blade or any other part, in all directions.
Check operation and condition of the guard. If the guard is not operating properly, it must be
repaired before any further use of the tool.
The guard may move slowly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or debris accumulation.
Unplug the power cord, methodically remove the blade, and clean the guard and any
concentration of deposits with oil and wipe or clean by blowing compressed air.
Always make sure the guard covers the blade before placing the tool on the floor or workbench.
An unprotected blade will cut everything in its path.
Be aware of the time needed for the blade to come to a complete stop after the switch is released
(set on OFF position).
Never hold the piece being cut in your hands or across your legs.
It is important to maintain the work piece to minimize exposure of the body to the blade, the
blade sticking or loss of control.
- Do not assume your knowledge of the tool. Remember that a split second of negligence is
sufficient to cause serious damage and/or injury.
- Do not use the side and back of the blade for cutting.
- The jigsaw must not be used above shoulder height.

(D) Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged moving blade.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the cutting accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the
point of the binding.
For example, if a blade is snagged or pinched by the work piece, the edge of the blade that is
entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the blade to climb
out or kick out. The blade may either jump towards or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the blade’s movement at the point of pinching.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions
and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a- Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or
torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
b- Never place your hand near the moving accessory.
The accessory may kickback over your hand.
c- Do not position your body in the area where the power tool will move if kickback occurs.
