General Safety Rules

WARNING!

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the

dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris

such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

Electrical Safety

4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong

or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified

electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the

tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance

path to carry electricity away from the user.

Specifications

REV 02/05

5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any

way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord

and grounded power supply system.

6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

7. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool

will increase the risk of electric shock.

8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools or pull

the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,sharp edges, or

moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked

“W-A”or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of

electric shock.

Personal Safety

10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep

your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging in.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in power tools

with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal

injury.

14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing

and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

15. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid safety

shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must also be used for appropriate conditions.

SKU 46055

Tool Use and Care

16. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the

workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is

unstable and may lead to loss of control.

17. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

18. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool

that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

19. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

20. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

21. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not

use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

22. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

23. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on

another tool.

Service

24. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

25. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions

in the

“Maintenance”

section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to

follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

Note: Performance of this tool (if powered by line voltage) may vary depending on

variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.

Warning: The warnings, cautions 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.

Jigsaw Specific Safety Rules

1. Hold the tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation

where the 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. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities, contain 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.)

3. WARNING! People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before using

this product. Operation of electrical equipment in close proximity to a heart

pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the

outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with

the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if

the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service

facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician.

GROUNDED TOOLS:TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong

grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool

should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance

path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.

(See Figure A, next page.)

2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to

the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire

connected to the tool’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically

“live” terminal. (See Figure A.)

Continued on page 6

SKU 46055

FIGURE A

3. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like

those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)

DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS:TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS

4. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double

insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable

standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and

the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)

5. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the following

illustration. (See Figure B.)

FIGURE B

Page 7

SKU 46055

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded

tools require a three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge

extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious

drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (See Figure C.)

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For

example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Figure C.)

4. If using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure

each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Figure C.)

5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate

amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.

(See Figure C.)

6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the

suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician

before using it.

8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or

wet areas.

Operation (continued)

Note: Unplug tool before making adjustments.

5. Your Jigsaw can be adjusted from zero degrees to forty-five degrees for miter cuts by

loosening the bolt on the bottom of the base with the Hex Spanner (#32). See Figure 4.

Figure 4

Note: After loosening the bolt, tilt the base and use

the numbered gradient gauge on the housing

of the saw for an accurate angle. Tighten bolt.

6. By loosening the same bolt as in Figure 4, you can

slide the base back for cutting the front plane of a workpiece.

See Figure 5.

7. To plug-cut into a workpiece that hasn’t been pre-drilled,

rest the rear of the base on the workpiece with the blade not

touching the surface. Start the tool and very slowly lower

the blade into the workpiece until the saw sits level. Then

move the tool forward to cut. Hold Saw firmly and beware

of kickback.
