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. 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.

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.
10. WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities, contains
chemicals known [to the State of California]
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 or
other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
(California Health & Safety Code
§ 25249.5, et seq.)
11. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by
the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Charger Warnings

1.
Use on dry, flat, fireproof surface
only. The Charger gets hot during
use. The Charger's heat can build
up to unsafe levels and create a
fire hazard if it does not receive adequate
ventilation, due to an electrical fault, or if it is
used in a hot environment.
2. Do not place the Charger on a flammable
surface. Do not obstruct any vents on
the Charger. Especially avoid placing
the Charger on carpets and rugs; they
are not only flammable, but they also
obstruct vents under the Charger.
