could cause your hand to move into the blade.
• Never reach into the cutting path of the blade.
• Blade guide rollers must support the blade when cutting. The rollers must
rest against the back edge of blade. The only cutting operation when
rollers do not support the blade is the scrolling mode. When scrolling the
blade must swivel as it is guided to follow scroll patterns. Always move
the base back and blade guide up and back away from blade in scrolling
mode.
• Always use blades that have the correct size and shape. Blades that do
not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run erratically and will
cause loss of control.
• Always be sure that all adjusting screws and the blade holder are
fastened tightly before making a cut. Loose adjusting screws can cause
the tool to slip and loss of control may result.
_, WARNING: Use of this tool can generate dust containing chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals!
_, WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use Sears
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct
particles away from face and body.
WARNING: Your jigsaw should never be connected to the power source
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing bits,
cleaning it, or when it is not in use. Disconnecting the saw will prevent accidental
starting, which could cause serious personal injury.
