INTENDED USE.
The intended use of this tool is described
in this instruction manual. The use of any
accessory or attachment or performance
of any operation with this tool other than
those recommended in this instruction
manual may present a risk of personal
injury and/or damage to property.
This 20V Max Jigsaw is intended for
domestic use only. Do not use for
commercial purposes.
This tool is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for the
their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the tool.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adaptor plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified
plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool.
Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord suitable for outdoor
use to reduce the risk of electric shock.
WORK AREA SAFETY.
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and animals
away while operating the power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
BEFORE USE.
Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce the risk of personal injury.
WARNING!
Contact with, or inhalation
of, dusts arising from cutting applications
may endanger the health of the operator
and possible bystanders. Wear a dust
mask specifically designed for protection
against dust and fumes and ensure that
persons within or entering the work area
are also protected.
Always wear eye protection. Any power
tool can throw foreign objects into your
eyes and cause permanent eye damage.
Always wear safety goggles (not glasses)
that comply with ANSI safety standard
Z87.1. Every day glasses have only impact
resistant lenses. They are not safety
glasses.
WARNING!
Wearing glasses or goggles
not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 when
operating this tool could cause serious
injury.
Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts to prevent them from becoming
caught in the tool.
