OPERATINg INSTRUCTIONS
SWITCHINg ON AND OFF
1.
WARNINg: Always wear eye protection
while operating this or any other power tool.
WARNINg: Burn hazard. DO NOT touch
the blade immediately after use. Contact with
the blade may result in personal injury.
Before you begin work, ensure the material
to be cut is rigid. Small workpieces should be
securely clamped to a work table.
To start the machine, actuate the lock-off button
(D) first, then press and hold the On/Off switch
(E). To stop the machine, release the On/Off
switch (E).
Note: ALWAYS ensure you maintain a firm grip while operating your jigsaw.
For safety reasons, the On/Off switch of the machine cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during
operation. The protection finger (M) is located in front of the blade holder (I). While working, it will help
prevent accidental contact with the moving blade.
A light is built-in near the end of the protection finger. The light will automatically come on each time
the On/Off switch is depressed.
WARNINg
• NEvER hold the pivot head when operating the tool. Before cutting any type of material, be sure it
is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping. Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Whenever possible, the saw foot plate must be held firmly against the material being cut. This
will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize blade breakage. Any cut which puts
pressure on the blade, such as angle or scroll cuts, increases potential for vibration, kickback and
blade breakage.
WARNINg: SHOCk HAZARD. Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular
attention to overhead wires which may be hidden from view.
WARNINg: Use extra caution when cutting overhead and anticipate the path of falling branches
and debris ahead of time.
WARNINg: Inspect work site for hidden gas pipes, water pipes, or electrical wires before making
blind or plunge cuts. Failure to do so may result in explosion, property damage, electric shock, and/or
serious personal injury.
