SPECIFIC RULES FOR JIG SAW
8. After changing blades, rotate the blade cylinder (cutter drum) to make sure the blades don’t hit any part of the
blade head housing and that the blade locking screws are tight. Loose or misaligned blades have the potential to
strike tool housing and damage the tool as well as cause possible injury.
9. Always hold the tool firmly with both hands for maximum control.
10. Never pull the jig saw backwards over the workpiece.
11. Do not put fingers or any objects into the chip ejector. Do not clean out chips while the tool is running. Contact
with the blade drum will cause injury.
12. Remove the plug from power source before removing chips. The blades are hidden from view and you may be
cut if the blade is contacted.
13. GFCI and personal protection devices such as electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will increase personal
safety.
14. Keep handles and hands dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery surfaces cannot safely maintain con-
trol of the power tool.
15. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any
portion of the tool. Internal wires may be misplaced or pinched and safety guard return springs may be improperly
mounted.
16. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instruc-
tions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a li-
censed electrician check the outlet.
