GENERAL SAFETY RULES
USA003-2
(FOR ALL BATTERY OPERATED TOOLS)
WARNING:
Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below,
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
SAVE 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 atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
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.
Electrical Safety
4. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or
a separate battery pack must be recharged only
with the specified charger for the battery. A
charger that may be suitable for one type of battery
may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.
5. Use battery operated tool only with specifically
designated battery pack. Use of any other batter-
ies may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
6. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
8. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in
the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with
the switch on invites accidents.
9. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
11. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
2
Tool Use and Care
12. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
13. Do not force 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.
14. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
15. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
16. Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
17. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.
18. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with
sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
19. 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 acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
20. Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.
SERVICE
21. Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance per-
formed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk
of injury.
22. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unau-
thorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
USB030-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with
product (gained from repeated use)
replace strict adherence to cordless jig
saw safety rules. If you use this tool
unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer
serious personal injury.
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live”
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
2. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating
condition, because it does not have to be
plugged into an electrical outlet.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
5. Do not cut hollow pipe.
6. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
7. Check for the proper clearance beneath the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade will
not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
8. Hold the tool firmly.
9. Check the blade is not contacting the workpiece
before the switch is turned on.
10. Keep hands away from moving parts.
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
12. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come
to a complete stop before removing the blade
from the workpiece.
13. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.

Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.
A) Boring a starting hole:
1
For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an
edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm (1/2”) or more
in diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start
your cut.
B) Plunge cutting:
You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in
cut if you carefully do as follows.
(1) Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base
with the blade point positioned just above the
workpiece surface.
(2) Apply pressure to the tool so that the front
edge of the base will not move when you
switch on the tool and gently lower the back
end of the tool slowly.
(3) As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly
lower the base of the tool down onto the
workpiece surface.
(4) Complete the cut in the normal manner.
