ALL

CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Don’t expose power tools to rain. Don’t use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.

Don’t let visitors contact tool or extension cord. STORE IDLETOOLS. When not

or locked-up place DON’T FORCE TOOL.

it was intended. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to

heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended; for example, don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.

DRESS PROPERLY. Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry.They can be caught

in

moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended

when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is

dusty. DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank

receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using

your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and

safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.

18. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Don’t operate tool when you are tired.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will

operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of

moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any

other conditions that may affect its operation.

A

guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service center. Don’t use tool if the switch does not turn it on and

off.

20. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

21. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.

22. POLARIZED PLUGS.To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit

in

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 the proper outlet. Do not change the plug

in

any way.

also cuts in this manner but, for softer

workpiece, an orbital cutting action can

be selected. Soft workpiece, like wood and plastic permit deep penetration of indi-

the blade forward on the cutting stroke and greatly increases cutting speed over conventional jig saws. Harder workpiece

like metal should be cut using the straight

line cutting action or

a

very low orbital

setting. To select straight line or orbital cutting, adjust the number on the saw.
