KNOW YOUR JIG SAW
See Figure 1.
Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with
all operating features and safety requirements.
OPERATION
CHIP SHIELD
A clear plastic chip shield is installed on the front of your
saw for protection against flying dust and chips. The flip-up
design of the chip shield makes installing and removing
blades easier.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, DO NOT USE
SAW WITHOUT CHIP SHIELD PROPERLY IN PLACE.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your saw has a precision built electric motor. It should be
connected to a
power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC
only (normal household current).
Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and overheating. If your tool does not operate
when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your saw to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
