WARNING
: Know your jigsaw. Do not
plug in the jigsaw until you have read and
understand this Instruction Manual. Learn
the tool’s applications and limitations, as
well as the specific potential hazards
related to this tool. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or
serious injury.
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. Everyday glasses have only
impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT
safety glasses.
WARNING:
Glasses or goggles not in
compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause
serious injury when they break.
Always wear safety goggles, hearing
protection and a dust mask. Use only in well-
ventilated areas. Using personal safety
devices and working in a safe environment
reduces the risk of injury.
Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the saw
blade may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
Always make sure the work surface is free of
nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a
nail can cause the blade and the tool to jump
and damage the blade.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when sawing.
Never place your hands near or below the
cutting surface. Clamping the material and
guiding the tool with both hands is much
safer.
Never lay the workpiece on hard surfaces like
concrete, stone, etc. The protruding blade
may cause the tool to jump.
DANGER:
Always remove the plug from
the power source when changing the blade
and when making adjustments.
Use only "U" or "T" shank blades that are
designed specifically for jigsaw use. Never
use a broken blade, as it will not be securely
held in the tool.
After changing a blade, make sure the blade
is securely held in the blade holder. Loose
blades will be violently thrown.
Never touch the blade during or immediately
after use. After use, the blade is too hot to be
touched by bare hands.
Never use dull or damaged blades. Sharp
blades must be handled with care. Damaged
blades can snap during use. Dull blades
require more force to cut the workpiece,
possibly causing the blade to break.
Always use the straight reciprocating action
when cutting metal. Blades will last longer
and will be less likely to break.
