WARNING!
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardized test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organizing work patterns.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with the product.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re, and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

JIGSAW SAFETY WARNINGS

Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces only when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live wire makes the exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses when working with the product.
The use of protective clothing is recommended, such as dust mask, protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet, and ear defenders.
The dust produced when using the product may be harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not use the product on any materials that present a danger to health (e.g. asbestos).
Turn off the product immediately if the insertion tool stalls. Do not turn on the product again while the insertion tool is stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force.
Determine why the insertion tool stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.
The possible causes may be:

• The insertion tool is tilted in the workpiece to be machined.
• The insertion tool has pierced through the material to be machined.
• The power tool is overloaded.

Do not reach into the product while it is running.
The insertion tool is sharp-edged and can become hot during use.

WARNING! Danger of cuts and burns.

• when changing tools
• when setting down the product Chips and splinters must not be removed while the product is running.
  When working on walls, ceilings, or floors, take care to avoid electric cables, gas pipes, and water pipes.
  Clamp the workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
  Do not use cracked or distorted saw blades.
  Plunge cuts without pre-drilling a hole is possible with soft materials (wood, light building materials for walls). Harder materials (metals) must first be drilled with a hole corresponding to the size of the saw blade.
  Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fi re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse the product, battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow inside them.

Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the product.

BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not dispose of used battery packs in the household refuse or by burning them. MILWAUKEE distributors offer to retrieve old batteries to protect our environment.
Do not store the battery pack together with metal objects (short circuit risk).
Use only M12 System chargers for charging M12 System battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers, and store them only in dry rooms. Keep the battery packs and chargers dry at all times.
Battery acid may leak from damaged batteries under extreme load or extreme temperatures. In case of contact with battery acid, wash it off immediately with soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly for at least 10 minutes and immediately seek medical attention.
No metal parts must be allowed to enter the battery section of the charger (short circuit risk).

BATTERIES

Battery packs that have not been used for some time should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50 °C reduce the performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of the chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum lifetime, the battery packs have to be fully charged after use.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:

• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27 °C and away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% – 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.

BATTERY PACK PROTECTION

In extremely high torque, binding, stalling, and short circuit situations that cause high current draw, the product vibrates for about 5 seconds, the fuel gauge fl ashes, and then the product turns off . To reset, release the trigger.
Under extreme circumstances, the internal temperature of the battery pack could raise too much. If this happens, the fuel gauge fl ashes until the battery pack cools down. After the lights go off , continue working.
