EXTRA SAFETY REGULATIONS CONCERNING JIG SAW
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a «live» wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool «live» and could give the operator an
electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control."
• IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with the operation of a jig saw, obtain advice
from a qualified person.
• The jig saw is double insulated. When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts.
• Wear dust mask.
• Avoid cutting nails when operate with the wood blade. Inspect the workpiece
carefully and remove all nails and staples before operation.
• Make sure the blade always extends beyond the shoe and workpiece throughout
the stroke. Blades may shatter if they strike the workpiece or shoe.
• Do not cut oversized workpiece.
• Check for proper clearance beyond the workpiece before cutting so the blade will
not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
• Keep the saw blades clean and sharp.
• Use only correct blades. Always use blades recommended for the type of workpiece.
• Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
• Always release the switch to OFF and wait for the tool to come to a complete stop
before removing the blade from the workpiece.
• Keep the handle dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Do not use solvents, brake fluids, gasoline or other petroleum
products to clean the tool, they may damage plastic parts.
• Do not operate this tool in a gaseous or explosive atmosphere or near explosive
materials.
• Never force the tool. Apply firm pressure against the saw pivot shoe for the sawing
operation--too little or too much pressure could cause jumping, vibration and break
the blade.
