This instruction manual includes the following:
General Safety Rules Specific Safety Rules and Symbols Functional Description Assembly Operation Maintenance Accessories
!
ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CSA REQUIREMENTS or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1
FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye protection.
WARNING: Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if
broken during the operation of a power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE
WARNING: Use hearing protection, particularly during extended periods of operation of the tool, or if the operation is noisy.
!
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
CAUTION: Before using this tool or any of its accessories, read this
manual and follow all Safety Rules and Operating Instructions.
!

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection.
This tool is wired at the factory for 110–120 V operation. It must be connected to a 110–120 V, 15 A circuit that is protected by a time-delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.
GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.
WARNING: Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities. These chemicals include:
Lead from lead-based paints Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according to how often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

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 personal injury.
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the tool. Distractions can cause the operator to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will only fit into a polarized plug one way.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet properly, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-pronged grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
Avoid contact between the operator's body and grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if the operator's body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Do not use the power cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug out of the outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Replace a damaged power cord immediately. A damaged power cord increases the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor-rated extension cord type “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and they reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, be aware of the surroundings, 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 operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery, or long hair can get caught in moving parts.
!
POWER TOOL SAFETY

PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d
Avoid accidental start-ups. Verify that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool. Carrying a power tool with a finger on the switch or plugging in a tool that has the switch in the ON position invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool ON. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance allows the operator to maintain better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Use a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hardhat, or hearing protection when appropriate.
USE AND CARE OF POWER TOOLS Use clamps or another practical means to
secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work in a hand or against the body is not stable, and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer when used at the rate that it was designed to work at.
Do not use a power tool if it cannot be turned ON or OFF using the power switch. A tool that cannot be controlled using the switch is dangerous, and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the outlet before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidental start-ups.
When power tools are not in use, store them out of the reach of children or untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind, and are easier to control.
Inspect the tool for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts, and any other condition that may affect the operation of the tool. If it is damaged, have the tool serviced before using it. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for this model. Accessories that are suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used with another tool.
SERVICE Tool servicing must be performed by
qualified personnel. Service or maintenance performed by non-qualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

SERVICE – cont’d
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow the instructions in the Maintenance section of this Manual. The use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow the instructions in the Maintenance section of this Manual may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
WARNING: Know your cordless jigsaw. Do not plug in the charger or install the battery in the tool until you have read and understand this
Instruction Manual. Learn the tool’s
applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of electric shock, fire, or serious injury. Always wear eye protection. Any power
tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes and cause permanent eye damage.
ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they break.
Always wear safety goggles, hearing protection and a dust mask. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Using personal safety devices and working in a safe environment reduces the risk of injury.
Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the saw blade 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.
Always make sure the work surface is free of nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail can cause the blade and the tool to jump and damage the blade.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand when sawing.
Never place your hands near or below the cutting surface. Clamping the material and guiding the tool with both hands is much safer.
Never lay the workpiece on hard surfaces like concrete, stone, etc. The protruding blade may cause the tool to jump.
DANGER: Always remove the battery when changing the blade and when making adjustments.
Use only U- or T- shank blades that are designed specifically for jigsaw use. Never use a broken blade, as it will not be securely held in the tool.
SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES
! ! !
POWER TOOL SAFETY

GENERAL CUTTING – cont’d
WARNING: Keep hands and
fingers away from between the motor housing and blade holder. Do not reach underneath workpiece while jigsaw is running.
3. Rest the front of the jigsaw base on the workpiece and align cutting edge of the blade with the cutting line on your workpiece (Fig. 12). Make sure the power cord is out of your way and not in the path the blade will follow.
4. While firmly gripping the jigsaw, and with the blade NOT in contact with the surface to be cut, start the jigsaw by pressing the lock-off button and squeezing the trigger switch.
5. Once the jigsaw has reached the desired speed, gradually bring the moving blade into contact with the workpiece at the appropriate location.
NOTE: Apply enough downward pressure to keep the jigsaw steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting freely.
CAUTION: Do not force the
jigsaw. Use only enough force to keep the blade cutting. Excessive pressure on the blade will cause it to bend and twist, which may result in breaking the blade.
BEVEL CUTTING
Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° either left or right. To adjust the bevel angle, refer to Fig. 5.

BEVEL CUTTING - cont’d
Once the cutting angle has been verified, proceed with the cutting activity as outlined in “GENERAL CUTTING” above.
PLUNGE CUTTING
WARNING: To avoid loss of
control, broken blades or damage to the workpiece, always use extreme caution when making plunge cuts. It is not recommended to plunge cut any material other than wood. Wherever possible, drill a pilot hole 3/8" (9.5 mm) or larger in the area to be cut out and start cutting with the blade in the pilot hole. This will avoid the need to plunge cut.
NOTE: Use only blades with 7 teeth per inch for plunge cutting.
1. To plunge cut an inside hole, clearly mark the cutting line on the workpiece.
2. Set the bevel angle at 0°, and then lock the base plate.
3. Tilt the jigsaw forward so it rests on the front edge of the base plate and in a position where the blade will NOT touch the workpiece when the switch is turned ON (Fig. 13).
NOTE: Make sure the saw blade is inside the area to be cut.
4. Start the jigsaw and slowly lower the blade onto the workpiece while making sure the front of the saw base remains in contact with the workpiece. Allow the blade to slowly cut through the wood.

PLUNGE CUTTING – cont’d
5. Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the jigsaw base rests flat on the workpiece. Continue sawing toward the cutting line and complete the cut as required.
METAL CUTTING
Many types of metal can be cut with your jigsaw. When cutting any kind of material, be careful not to twist or bend the blades. Do not force the blade. If the blade chatters or vibrates excessively, use a finer toothed blade. If the blade heats excessively, reduce the speed of cutting. If the blade teeth become clogged when cutting soft metals, such as aluminum, use a coarser blade with fewer teeth per inch. Use kerosene when cutting soft metals and oil when cutting steel to keep the blade cool and to extend the blade life. Clamp all work firmly and jigsaw as close as possible to the clamping point to eliminate any vibration of the work being cut.
When cutting conduit, pipe or angle iron, clamp work in a vise if possible and saw close to the vise. To cut thin sheet
materials, “sandwich” the material between
hardboard or plywood and clamp the layers to eliminate material vibration and tearing. By doing this, the material will be cut smoothly. Lay out your pattern or cutting lines on top of the “sandwich”.

fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. to come into contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage the tool and the workpiece.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to
modify tools or create accessories. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious injury. It will also void the warranty.
It has been found that electric tools are subjected to accelerated wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fibreglass boats and sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fibreglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. During any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing the accumulated debris out with an air jet.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during all cutting operations. It is critical that you wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a dust mask while blowing dust out of the jigsaw with an air jet. Failure to take these safety precautions could result in permanent eye or lung damage.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high­grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
