General Safety Instructions

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to

follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,

fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and

dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such

as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and

ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify

the plug in any way. Do not use any adaptor plugs. Check

with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether

the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically

malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance

path to carry electricity away from the user. Applicable only to

Class I (grounded) tools.

• Double insulated tools are equipped with 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 a polarized outlet. Do not

change the plug in any way. Double insulation

eliminates

the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded

power supply system. Applicable only to Class II (double

insulated) tools.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk

of electric shock if your body is grounded.

• Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the

tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from

heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged

cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor

extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.” These cords are rated

for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. When using

an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the

English

current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a

drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

The following table shows the correct size to use depending on

cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the

next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier

the cord.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common

sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool

while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. A moment of inattention while operating power

tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.

Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair

can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving

parts and should also be avoided.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before

plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or

plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool

on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of

the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all

times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the

tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection

must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

• Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support

the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by

hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of

control.

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application.

The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for

which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must

be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting

the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained

persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s

operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

English

• Use only accessories that are recommended by the

manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be

suitable for one tool, may become hazardous when used on

another tool.

SERVICE

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair

personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified

personnel could result in a risk of injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement

parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of

this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or

injury.

Additional Specific Safety Instructions

for Jig Saws

• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing

an operation where the cutting tool 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.

• Allow the motor to come to a complete stop before

withdrawing the blade from the kerf (the slot created by

cutting). A moving blade may impact the workpiece causing a

broken blade, workpiece damage or loss of control and possible

personal injury.

• Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease. This will

enable better control of the tool.

• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve

or stall under pressure.

• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust

and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior

surfaces and could create an electric shock hazard.

• Do not operate this tool for long periods of time. Vibration

caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent

injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra

cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.

WARNING: Always wear eye protection while operating this

power tool.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals

known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry

products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

(CCA).

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you

do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

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.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.

Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap

and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on

the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust,

which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury.

Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection

appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face

and body.

WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if

cutting operation is dusty. All users and bystanders MUST ALWAYS

wear certified safety equipment:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

English

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

CAUTION: Wear appropriate hearing protection during use.

Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product

may contribute to hearing loss.
