GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
SKU 92772 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 2
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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 adapter
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.
2. 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.
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased r isk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools
or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce 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 tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious personal injury.
SKU 92772 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 3
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving par ts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in
power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye ANSI approved safety impact eye
goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways 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.
2. Do not force the 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.
3. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.
4. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and dry. Proper ly maintained
tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

7. 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 main-
tained tools.
8. 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
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the
manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions
may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. 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.
2. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Mak e sure
there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of
obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use the Jigsaw in areas
near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp
or wet location.
3. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Jigsaw. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
4. When using the Jigsaw, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands.
5. Do not use the Jigsaw if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or
immersed in liquid.
6. To avoid electrical shock, do not pull or carry the Jigsaw b y its P o wer Cor d
or pull the Po wer Cord around sharp corners or edges. Do not unplug the
Jigsaw by pulling on the Power Cord. Keep the Power Cord away from heated
surfaces.
7. To avoid electrical shock, do not handle the P o wer Cor d Plug or the Jigsaw

8. Always turn off the Jigsaw and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet
before changing accessories or performing any inspection, maintenance,
or cleaning procedures.
9. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure y ou are prepared to begin w ork
before turning on the Jigsaw.
10. Never leave the Jigsaw unattended when it is plugged into an electrical
outlet. Make sure to unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving the work
area.
11. To avoid accidental injury , always wear heavy duty work glo ves when
changing Saw Blades.
12. Make sure the workpiece is free from nails and any other foreign objects
which can damage the Saw Blade.
13. Always check to make sure there are no electrical wires or cables in the
cutting path of the workpiece.
14. Keep your body positioned to either side of the Saw Blade, but not in line
with the Saw Blade. “Kickback” can cause the Saw to jump backwards.
15. Causes and operator prevention of “kickback”: Kickback is a sudden reac-
tion to a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an uncontrolled
Saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When the Saw Blade
is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the Saw Blade stalls and the
Motor reaction drives the tool rapidly tow ard the operator. If the Saw Blade
becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the front edge of the Saw
Blade can dig into the top surface of the workpiece, causing the Saw Blade to
climb out of the kerf and jump back tow ard the operator. Kic kback is a result of
tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be minimized by taking proper precautions as given below:
A. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the Sa w , and position y our bod y
and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
B. When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut f or any
reason, release the Trigger and hold the Sa w motionless in the work piece until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to
remove the Saw from the workpiece or pull the Saw backward while the Saw
Blade is in motion or kickback can occur.
C. When restarting the Saw in the workpiece, center the Sa w Blade in the
kerf and check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece.
If the Saw Blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece
