Jigsaw Safety Warnings - Chicago Electric 68821 User Manual

c. Disconnect the plug from the
power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. 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.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, 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.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by
a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.

Jigsaw Safety Warnings

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation
where cutting tool 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.
2. Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the work piece
to a stable platform. Holding the work
by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.

3. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor
Freight Tools for a replacement.
4. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to
begin work before turning on the tool.
5. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
6. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with
both hands to resist starting torque.
7. Do not leave the tool unattended when
it is plugged into an electrical outlet.
Turn off the tool, and unplug it from
its electrical outlet before leaving.
8. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
9. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic
fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker
could cause pacemaker interference or
pacemaker failure. In addition, people with
pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power switch locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly
grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) should also be implemented –
it prevents sustained electrical shock.
10. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product
will expose you to lead, a chemical known to
the State of California to cause cancer, and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
