the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
di
ff
erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a

This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND
SYMBOLS
1. 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.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
3. Always wear ear protectors when using
the tool for extended periods.
Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise can cause hearing
loss.
4. Handle the blades very carefully.
5. Check the blade carefully for cracks
or damage before operation. Replace
cracked or damaged bit immediately.
6. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from the workpiece
before operation.
7. Hold the tool
fi
rmly.
8. Keep hands away from moving parts.
9. Do not touch the blade immediately
after operation: it may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
10. Always wear eye protection that meets
the requirement of the latest
revision of ANSI Standard
Z87.1.
11.
This Jig Saw employs a high-power motor.
If the machine is used continuously at low
speed, an extra load is appplied to the
motor which can result in motor seizure.
Always operate the power tool so that
the blade is not caught by the workpiece
during operation. Always adjust the blade
speed to enable smooth cutting.

DOUBLE INSULATION FOR
SAFER OPERATION
To ensure safer operation of this power tool,
HITACHI has adopted a double insulation
design. “Double insulation” means that two
physically separated insulation systems
have been used to insulate the electrically
conductive materials connected to the power
supply from the outer frame handled by the
operator. Therefore, either the symbol “ ” or
the words “Double insulation” appear on the
power tool or on the nameplate.
Although this system has no external
grounding, you must still follow the normal
electrical safety precautions given in this
Instruction Manual, including not using the
power tool in wet environments.
To keep the double insulation system e
ff
ective,
follow these precautions:
○
Only Hitachi Authorized Service Center
should disassemble or assemble this
power tool, and only genuine HITACHI
replacement parts should be installed.
○
Clean the exterior of the power tool only
with a soft cloth moistened with soapy
water, and dry thoroughly.
Never use solvents, gasoline or thinners on
plastic components; otherwise the plastic
may dissolve.
