GENERAL & SPECIFIC
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SUPPLY
WARNING:
YOUR JIG SAW MUST BE CONNECTED TO A 120V, 15-AMP CIRCUIT.
FAILURE TO CONNECT IN THIS WAY CAN RESULT IN INJURY FROM SHOCK OR
FIRE.
Your jig saw must be properly grounded. Not all outlets are properly grounded. If you
are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician.
WARNING:
IF NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED, THIS JIG SAW CAN CAUSE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PARTICULARLY WHEN USED IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. Use the following chart
to determine the minimum wire gauge (A.W.G-American Wire Gauge) extension cord
needed. Only use polarized extension cords (one prong wider than the other) which
have 2-prong type plugs and 2-hole receptacles which accept the tool’s plug.
For circuits that are further away from the electrical circuit box, the wire gauge must be
increased proportionate-
ly in order to deliver
ample voltage to the jig
saw. Refer to chart for
wire length and size.
