I. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Pan-

asonic Jigsaw. This jigsaw can be

used with Panasonic rechargeable

batteries to provide excellent cutting

performance. The jigsaw is for cutting

metal, wood, and drywall only.

Read the “Safety Instructions” booklet

and the following before using.

II.

GENERAL SAFETY

RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, fire

and/or serious injury. The term “power

tool” in all of the warnings listed below

refers to your main operated (corded)

power tool and battery operated

(cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area Safety

1) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-

dents.

2) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as

in the presence of flammable liq-

uids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

3)

Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical Safety

1) Power tool plugs must match the

outlet. Never modify the plug in

any way. Do not use any adapt-

er plugs with earthed (grounded)

power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock.

2)

Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of elec-

tric shock if your body is earthed or

grounded.

3) Do not expose power tools to

rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will in-

crease the risk of electric shock.

4) Do not abuse the cord. Never

use the cord for carrying, pulling

or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords in-

crease the risk of electric shock.

5) When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension cord

suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor

use reduces the risk of electric

shock.

Personal Safety

1) Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense

when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you

are tired or under the influence

of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment of inattention while oper-

ating power tools may result in se-

rious personal injury.

2) Use safety equipment. Always

wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

3) Avoid accidental starting. En-

sure the switch is in the off posi-

tion before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your fin-

ger on the switch or plugging in the

power tools that have the switch on

invites accidents.

4) Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the power

tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a

rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

-

5

-

5) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situa-

tions.

6) Dress properly. Do not wear

loose clothing or jewelry. Keep

your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

7) If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction

and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and proper-

ly used.

Use of these devices can reduce

dust related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

1) Do not force the power tool. Use

the correct power tool for your

application.

The correct power tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for

which it was designed.

2) Do not use the power tool if the

switch does not turn it on and

off.

Any power tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the switch is dangerous

and must be repaired.

3) Disconnect the plug from the

power source and/or the battery

pack from the power tool before

making any adjustments, chang-

ing accessories, or storing pow-

er tools.

Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the pow-

er tool accidentally.

4) Store idle power tools out of the

reach of children and do not al-

low persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

5) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of mov-

ing parts, breakage of parts and

any other condition that may af-

fect the power tools operation.

If damaged, have the power tool

repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained power tools.

6) Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools

with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to con-

trol.

7) Use the power tool, accessories

and tool bits etc. in accordance

with these instructions and in

the manner intended for the par-

ticular type of power tool, taking

into account the working con-

ditions and the work to be per-

formed.

Use of the power tool for operations

different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

Battery Tool Use and Care

1) Ensure the switch is in the off

position before inserting battery

pack.

Inserting battery pack into pow-

er tools that have the switch on in-

vites accidents.

2) Recharge only with the charger

specified by the manufacturer.

A charger that is suitable for one

type of battery pack may create a

risk of fire when used with another

battery pack.

3) Use power tools only with spe-

cifically designated battery

packs.

Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and fire.

4) When battery pack is not in use,

keep it away from other metal ob-

jects like paper clips, coins, keys,

nails, screws, or other small met-

al objects that can make a con-

nection from one terminal to an-

other.

Shorting the battery terminals to-

gether may cause burns, or a fire.

-

5) Under abusive conditions, liq-

uid may be ejected from battery;

avoid contact. If contact acci-

dentally occurs, flush with wa-

ter. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-

tionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may

cause irritation or burns.

Service

1) Have your power tool serviced by

a qualified repair person using

only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of

power tool is maintained.

III.

SPECIFIC SAFETY

RULES

1) Hold tool by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an op-

eration where the cutting tool

may contact hidden wiring. Con-

tact with a “live” wire will also make

exposed metal parts of the tool “live”

and shock the operator.

2) Use clamps or another practical

way to secure and support the

workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against

your body leaves it unstable and

may lead to loss of control.

3) Keep hands away from cutting

area and blade. Keep your insu-

lated gripping surfaces. If both

hands are holding the tool, they

cannot be cut by the blade.

4) Never hold piece being cut in

your hands or across your leg.

It is important to support the work

properly to minimize body exposure

or loss of control.

5) Be aware that this tool is always

in an operating condition, since it

does not have to be plugged into

an electrical outlet.

6) Always use safety goggles or

glasses with side shields. Ordi-

nary eye or sun glasses are NOT

safety glasses.

7) When this tool is used for woodw

orking in confined areas (e.g. in-

doors), wear dust mask.

8) Avoid cutting nails. Inspect work-

piece for any nails and remove

them before operation.

9) Do not cut oversized workpiece.

10) Check for the proper clearance

beyond the workpiece before

cutting so that the blade will not

strike the floor, workbench, etc.

11) Hold the tool firmly.

12) Make sure the blade is not con-

tacting the workpiece before the

switch is turned on.

13) Keep hands away from moving

parts.

14) Do not touch the blade or work-

piece immediately after opera-

tion; they may be extremely hot

and could burn your skin.

15) Never swing tool.

16) Do not use blades which are de-

formed or cracked.

17) Do not use blades which do not

comply with the characteristics

specified in these instructions.

18) Remove the battery pack from

the tool body before replacement

of the blade, making adjustments,

or other maintenance work.

19) Wear ear protectors when using

the tool for extended periods.

ifornia to cause cancer, b irth defects

or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

* Lead from lead-based paints

*

Crystalline silica from bricks and ce-

ment and other masonry products

* Arsenic and chromium from chem-

ically-treated lumber.

To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals: work in a well ventilated

area, and work with approved safety

equipment, such as dust masks that

are specially designed to filter the

microscopic particles.

Cautions for the Li-ion Battery

Pack

• If the temperature of the battery

pack falls approximately below

−10°C (14°F), charging will auto-

matically stop to prevent degrada-

tion of the battery.

Common Cautions for the Li-

ion/Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Pack

• The ambient temperature range is be-

tween 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).

If the battery pack is used when the

battery temperature is below 0°C

(32°F), the tool may fail to function

properly.

• When charging a cool battery pack

(below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place,

leave the battery pack at the place

and wait for more than one hour to

warm up the battery to the level of

the ambient temperature.

• Cool down the charger when charg-

ing more than two battery packs

consecutively.

• Do not insert your fingers into con-

tact hole, when holding charger or

any other occasions.

CAUTION:

To prevent the risk of fire or damage

to the battery charger.

• Do not use power source from an

engine generator.

• Do not cover vent holes on the

charger and the battery pack.

• Unplug the charger when not in use.

Li-ion Battery Pack

NOTE:

Your battery pack is not fully charged

at the time of purchase. Be sure to

charge the battery before use.

Battery charger (EY0L80)

1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.

Alignment marks

3. During charging, the charging lamp will

be lit.

When charging is completed, an inter-

nal electronic switch will automatically

be triggered to prevent overcharging.

• Charging will not start if the battery

pack is warm (for example, immedi-

ately after heavy-duty operation).

The orange standby lamp will be

flashing until the battery cools down.

Charging will then begin automatically.

4. The charge lamp (green) will flash

slowly once the battery is approxi-

mately 80% charged.

5. When charging is completed, the

charging lamp will start flashing quickly

in green color.

6. If the temperature of the battery pack

is 0°C or less, charging takes longer to

fully charge the battery pack than the

standard charging time.

Even when the battery is fully charged,

it will have approximately 50% of the

power of a fully charged battery at nor-

mal operating temperature.
