CORDLESS JIG SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
2.
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.
3.
Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
5.
Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6.
Check for the proper clearance around the work-
piece before cutting so that the jig saw blade will
not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7.
Hold the tool firmly.
8.
Make sure the jig saw blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
11. Always switch off and wait for the jig saw blade
to come to a complete stop before removing the
jig saw blade from the workpiece.
12. Do not touch the jig saw blade or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
15. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working
with.
