ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIGSAWS
•
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 .
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•
Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach under the workpiece.
Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.

Remove all nais in the work piece before the jigsaw. Cutting nails may damage
your tool.

•
Do not cut material thicker or wider diameter than the specified limits.

does not touch the floor or work bench, etc.

wires.

Ensure that you have tightened the blade prior to starting the machine.
•

Do not touch the saw blade immediately after use. Allow time for the blade to
cool, as it may burn due to the heat generated during sawing.
