JIG SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. This jig saw employs a high-power motor. If the machine
is used continuously at low speed, an extra load is
applied to the motor which can result in motor seizure.
Always operate the power tool so that the blade is not
caught by the material during operation. Always adjust
the blade speed to enable smooth cutting.
2. Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
3. Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, which could cause a serious
accident.
4. When the work area is removed from the power source,
use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
5. Dust produced in operation
The dust produced in normal operation may aff ect
the operator's health. Either of following way is
recommended.
a) Wear a dust mask
b) Use external dust collection equipment
When using the external dust collection equipment,
connect the adapter with the hose from external dust
collection equipment.
6. During use, do not touch the metal portion of the tool.
7. Changing blades
○ Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the plug
from the receptacle when changing blades.
○ Do not open the lever when plunger is moving.
○ Confi rm the protrusions of blade inserted to the blade
holder surely. (Fig. 2)
○ Confi rm the blade located between the groove of roller.
(Fig. 2)
8. At low speed (dial setting: 1 or 2) do not cut a wood with
a thickness of more than 10 mm or metal with a thickness
of more than 1 mm.
9. In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage or
excessive wear on the plunger, please make sure to
have surface of the base plate attached to the work piece
while sawing.
10. To ensure accurate cutting when using the guide
(Fig. 13), always set the orbital position to "0".
11. When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the feeding
speed of the machine. If the machine is fed too fast, it
could cause the blade to break.
12. Circular cutting must be done with the blade
approximately vertical to the bottom surface of the base.
13. Angular cutting can not be done when adopting dust
collector.
14. RCD
The use of a residual current device with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less at all times is recommended.
