SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Know your jigsaw. Do not plug in the jigsaw until you have read
and understand this Owner's 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.
WEAR CSA
APPROVED
EYE PROTECTION
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 plug from the power supply when changing the
blade and when making adjustments.
Use only universal 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.
