do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Excessive force only causes
operator fatigue, increased wear and reduced control.
c) Do not use tool if switch does not turn it "ON" or "OFF". A tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
d) Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the "LOCKED" or "OFF"
position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
e) Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
f) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: pa-
per 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 sparks, burns, or a fire.
g) Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and easier to control.
h) 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 ser-
viced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
i) Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on an-
other tool.
j) Use the right tool. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not
designed
5. SERVICE
a) Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or main-
tenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
b) 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 fol-
low Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR CORDLESS JIGSAWS
WARNING! Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tools 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) Always keep your hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being
cut because the nearness of the blade to your hand is hidden from your sight.
3) Always wear eye protectors when using tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for ap-
plications which generate dust.
4) Do not use dull or damaged blades. Sharp blades will do the job better and safer. Bent
blades can break easily or cause kickback.
5) The base plate must always be held firmly against the material being cut to reduce
saw vibration, blade jumping and blade breakage.
6) Never stop the cutting blade by applying side pressure to the blade.
7) Only withdraw the blade from the cut when the blade has stopped moving.
8) Do not reach underneath the work-piece while cutting. The guard cannot protect you
