atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Double Insulated tools are equipped with a
_olarized plug [one blade is wider than the
_ther.) This plug will fit in a polarized
_utlet only one way. ff the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
:loes not Fit, contact a qualified electrician
lo install a polarized outlet. Do not change
_he plug in any way. Double Insulation []
.=liminatec the need for the three wire
_rounded power cord and grounded power
_upp]y system. Before plugging in the tool,
_e certain the outlet voltage supplied is
,vithin the voltage marked on the nameplate.
9o not use "AC only" rated tools with a DC
power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded
sur[aces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded. If operating the power tcol in
damp ]ocatlans is unavoidable, a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to
supply.the power to your tool. Electrician's
robber gloves and footwear w_llfurther
enhance your personal safety.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entedng 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.
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury,
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
when operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked '_N-A"
or _N." These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the dsk of electric shock.

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 clathee, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
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.

avoid contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the
blade or accessory. Accessories may be
hot after prolonged use,
If your tool is equipped with a dust bag,
empty it frequently and after completion of
sawing. Spontaneous combestion, may in
time, result from mi._J m of oil or water with
dust parficles. Be exftemely careful of dust
disposal, materials in fine partJc+eform may be
explosive. Do not throw contents on an open
fire.
_Some dust created by
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

Plunger Speed
The jigsaw cutting speed or stroke rate required
depends on the material being cut, thetype of
blade used, and the feed rate preferred bythe
operator. The best speed for a particuler
application is lerge_ determined by experience,
though as a generalrule, slower speeds are for
denser materials and faster speeds far soft
materials. Note that when the jigsaw is used at
low speed settingsfor any length of time, the
motor temperature willrise due to the slower
speed of the internal cooling fan. In such cases,
It is necessary to Occasionally run the tool at full
speed for a few minutes to keep the motor
operating at high efficiency,
