I. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Panasonic Jigsaw. This jigsaw can be
used with Panasonic rechargeable
batteries to provide excellent cutting
performance. The jigsaw is for cutting
metal, wood, and drywall only.
Read the “Safety Instructions” booklet
and the following before using.
II.
GENERAL SAFETY
RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury. The term “power
tool” in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your main operated (corded)
power tool and battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area Safety
1) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
2) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as
in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
3)
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety
1) Power tool plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in
any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
2)
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
3) Do not expose power tools to
rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
4) Do not abuse the cord. Never
use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
5) When operating a power tool
outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor
use reduces 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 you
are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while oper-
ating power tools may result in se-
rious personal injury.
2) Use safety equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
3) Avoid accidental starting. En-
sure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your fin-
ger on the switch or plugging in the
power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
-
4 -
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
6) Dress properly. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
7) If devices are provided for the
connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce
dust related hazards.
Power Tool Use and Care
1) Do not force the power tool. Use
the correct power tool for your
application.
The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
2) Do not use the power tool if the
switch does not turn it on and
off.
Any power tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
3) Disconnect the plug from the
power source and/or the battery
pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4) Store idle power tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may af-
fect the power tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and
clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
7) Use the power tool, accessories
and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery Tool Use and Care
1) Ensure the switch is in the off
position before inserting battery
pack.
Inserting battery pack into pow-
er tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
2) Recharge only with the charger
specified by the manufacturer.
A charger that is suitable for one
type of battery pack may create a
risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
3) Use power tools only with spe-
cifically designated battery
packs.
Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
4) 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 to-
gether may cause burns, or a fire.
-
5 -
5) Under abusive conditions, liq-
uid may be ejected from battery;
avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may
cause irritation or burns.
Service
1) Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of
power tool is maintained.
III.
SPECIFIC SAFETY
RULES
1) Hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring. Con-
tact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
2) Use clamps or another practical
way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
3) Keep hands away from cutting
area and blade. Keep your insulated gripping surfaces. If both
hands are holding the tool, they
cannot be cut by the blade.
4) Never hold piece being cut in
your hands or across your leg.
It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure
or loss of control.
5) Be aware that this tool is always
in an operating condition, since it
does not have to be plugged into
an electrical outlet.
6) Always use safety goggles or
glasses with side shields. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT
safety glasses.
7) When this tool is used for woodw
orking in confined areas (e.g. indoors), wear dust mask.
8) Avoid cutting nails. Inspect work-
piece for any nails and remove
them before operation.
9) Do not cut oversized workpiece.
10) Check for the proper clearance
beyond the workpiece before
cutting so that the blade will not
strike the floor, workbench, etc.
11) Hold the tool firmly .
12) Make sure the blade is not con-
tacting the workpiece before the
switch is turned on.
13) Keep hands away from moving
parts.
14) Do not touch the blade or work-
piece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot
and could burn your skin.
15) Never swing tool.
16) Do not use blades which are de-
formed or cracked.
17) Do not use blades which do not
comply with the characteristics
specified in these instructions.
18) Remove the battery pack from
