Select the adequate blade
• Double-check wall, floors, and ceilings to
prevent making contact with power wires and / or pipes.
• Before starting to cut verify there are
no nails or screws along the cutting line.
• Clamp and secure the work piece if possible to prevent it
from moving.
• This jig saw is intended for manual use. Do not fix it.
Before operating the jig saw
• Use a bench vice or other practical way to support and
secure the work piece onto a firm platform. Holding the
work piece with your hand against your body makes it
unstable and could cause loosing control.
• Keep your hands away from the
cutting area. Do not overreach over the material to be
cut. The distance of your hand with the blade is out of
sight.
• Never stop the blade by applying force
on its side.
• When operating the jig saw always assure it is firmly
held.
• When operating the jig saw sit it firmly against the
material. It reduces vibration, stops the tool from jumping
or breaking the blade.
• Metal parts and accessories may get
very hot if the tool is used for long periods of time.
• Remove the Jig saw from the work
piece only when it stops moving.
After operating the jig saw
• Hold the tool by the insulated griping
parts when there is risk of making contact with hidden
wiring or the tools cable. Contact with “live” wiring will
electrify the exposed metal parts of the tool and send and
electric shock to the operator.
