ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS FOR JIG SAWS
• Hold 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 work by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• 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.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. 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.

ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
