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. 

h)  Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, 

clean and free from oil and grease. 

Slippery 

handles and grasping surfaces do not allow 

for safe handling and control of the tool in 

unexpected situations. 

5)  Battery tool use and care 

a)  Recharge only with the charger specified by 

the manufacturer. 

A charger that is suitable for 

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire 

when used with another battery pack. 

b)  Use power tools only with specifically 

designated battery packs.

 Use of any other 

battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire. 

c)  When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 

from other metal objects, like paper clips, 

coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal 

objects, that can make a connection from 

one terminal to another.

 Shorting the battery 

terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

d)  Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. 

If contact accidentally occurs, flush with 

water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally 

seek medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the 

battery may cause irritation or burns. 

e)  Do not use a battery pack or tool that is 

damaged or modified. 

Damaged or modified 

batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour 

resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury. 

f)  Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire 

or excessive temperature.

 Exposure to fire or 

temperature above 130 °C  may cause explosion. 

g)  Follow all charging instructions and 

do not charge the battery pack or tool 

outside the temperature range specified 

in the instructions. 

Charging improperly or at 

temperatures outside the specified range may 

damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. 

6) 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. 

b)  Never service damaged battery packs. 

Service of battery packs should only be 

performed by the manufacturer or authorized 

service providers.

JIG SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1.  Hold jig saw by insulated gripping surfaces, 

when performing an operation where the 

cutting accessory may contact hidden 

wiring. 

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” 

wire may make exposed metal parts of the power 

tool “live” and could give the operator an electric 

shock.

2.  Use clamps or another practical way to 

secure and support the workpiece to a stable 

platform. 

Holding the workpiece by hand or 

against your body leaves it unstable and may lead 

to loss of control.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR 

BATTERY PACK

a)  Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or 

battery pack. 

b)  Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not 

store battery packs haphazardly in a box or 

drawer where they may short-circuit each 

other or be short-circuited by conductive 

materials.

 When battery pack is not in use, 

keep it away from other metal objects, like paper 

clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small 

metal objects, that can make a connection from 

one terminal to another. Shorting the battery 

terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

c)  Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire. 

Avoid storage in direct sunlight.

d)  Do not subject battery pack to mechanical 

shock.

e)  In the event of battery leaking, do not allow 

the liquid to come into contact with the skin 

or eyes. If contact has been made, wash the 

affected area with copious amounts of water 

and seek medical advice.

f)  Keep battery pack clean and dry.

g)  Wipe the battery pack terminals with a clean 

dry cloth if they become dirty.

h)  Battery pack needs to be charged before use. 

Always refer to this instruction and use the 

correct charging procedure.

i)  Do not maintain battery pack on charge when 

not in use.

j)  After extended periods of storage, it may 

be necessary to charge and discharge 

the battery pack several times to obtain 

maximum performance.

k)  Recharge only with the charger specified 

by Worx. Do not use any charger other than 

that specifically provided for use with the 

equipment. 

l)  Do not use any battery pack which is not
