SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the state
of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Leadfromlead-basedpaints;
• Crystallinesilicafrombricksand
cement and other masonry products
and
• Arsenicandchromiumfrom
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemical: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS and safety
information very carefully and make
sure you fully understand them before
attempting any operations with this tool.

WARNING: When using an electric
JawSaw, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
FOR DOUBLE-INSULATED JAWSAWS
a) REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
b) POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
c) FOR ALL JAWSAWS
1) Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear
work area, secure footing, and a planned
retreat path from the falling limbs.
2) Consider work area environment. Use
