wArNiNG: When using an electric
JawSaw, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
For doubLE-iNSuLATEd JAwSAwS
a) rEPLAcEMENT PArTS
When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
b) PoLAriZEd PLuGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has 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 the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
c) For ALL JAwSAwS
1) keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas invite injuries.
Do not start cutting until you have a clear
work area, secure footing, and a planned
retreat path from the falling limbs.
2) consider work area environment. use
