Safety Instructions

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro- tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct po er toot will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot e controlled With the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools 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.
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 main-tained.
Additional safety instructions for Jig saws
Warning: Failure to follow these safety rules will 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 use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun-glasses are NOT safety glasses.
3. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect work-piece for any nails and remove them before operation.
4. Only use the product in an environmental humidity between 5% to 95% and at a temperature between 0°C to 50°C
5. Do not use the saw unless the guards are in place
6. Don’t cut oversize work-piece.
7. Check for the proper clearance beyond the work-piece before cutting so that the blade will not strike the floor, work-bench, etc.
8. Hold the tool firmly.
9. Do not put pressure on the saw, such that it slows the motor down. Allow the saw blade to cut without pressure you will get better results and you will be taking better care of our tool.
10. Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-piece before the switch; is turned on.
11. Keep hands ways from moving parts
12. Do not leave the tool running .operate the tool only when hand-held.
13. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the work-piece.
14. Keep your hands away from under the work piece.
15. Do not secure the jigsaw upside down in a vice or work bench and use it as a saw bench. This can lead to serious injury.
16. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation: they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
17. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

Control

TRIGGER (FIG I, item 2)
Located at the underside of the saw handle. Pull upward with the index finger to switch motor “ON”, release for “OFF”.
TRIGGER LOCK (FIG I, item 1)
A push-button lock button located at the right of the saw handle just above the Trigger can be used to lock the Trigger in the on position. To engage; pull Trigger upward to the “ON” position and push the Lock Button in. The trigger may be released, and the motor will stay “ON”. Pull Trigger again and the Trigger Lock is released, and the motor will stop.
MOTOR SPEED CONTROL (FIG II, item 3)
Located at the top, forward area of the saw housing. Controls the motor speed. This Rotary Thumb Wheel can be set to 1, for 1000 SPM (Strokes Per Minute), up to 6, for a maximum of 3000 SPM.
BLADE ORBITAL MOTION (FIGS III & IV)
Located at the lower left, forward side of the saw housing. Controls the “Orbital” motion of the Blade as seen from the side view. When on, it allows the blade to walk forward on the down-stroke and rearward on the upstroke which enhances the cutting action. This control offers 4 positions; Off, Low, Medium and High (FIG III). When the Lever is placed in the full “Down” Position, there is no Orbital action and the Blade travels in a straight vertical, Up and Down motion (FIG IV).
CHIP DISPERSAL BLOWER (FIGS V & VI)
Located at the lower right, forward side of the saw housing. Controls the dispersal of chips from the cutting area. When on, it allows air from the motor cooling fan to blow chips out and away from the cutting area providing a clear view of the blade and cutting path. This is a 2-position switch. When the Lever is placed in the full “Down” Position, the Dispersal Blower is On, when it is rotated 45 degrees up, it is off.

Adjustment

BASE ANGLE (FIGS VII & VIII) Located at the Saw Base.
Using the supplied 4mm Hex Key, loosen the set-screw in the retaining plate at theunderside of the Base, rotate the Saw Base to the desired position using the built-in angle detents then tighten set screw to lock it in place.
GUIDE FENCE DEPTH (FIG IX)
Located at the front of the Saw Base. Using the supplied 4MT Hex Key, looen the set-screws in the forks of the Saw Base, slide the Fence (marked in 0.5 centimeter graduations) to the desired position then tighten set screws to lockWin place. Bear in mind however that this item is not included in all relevant models.

Operation

Warning: this saw can quickly and violently kick back or twist while operating causing severe hand and or wrist injury. Do not apply excessive force to Saw while in use. Always make sure the workpiece or material being cut is securely clamped or anchored to allow two handed operation of the Saw.
Warning: this saw will eject particles, dust and sparks at high velocity during operation. Wear ANSI Z-87 approved eye and face protection at all times while operating.

• Always begin a project with a new blade.
• Gently and slowly ease the Saw Blade into the material.
• If starting from an outer edge of a piece of material, pull Trigger first to begin blade motion before engaging material. This will help to avoid kick-back
• Do not push the blade into the material but let the reciprocating motion of the blade to do the work.
• It is helpful to use a light lubricating oil to frequently lubricate blade while cutting. This greatly extends blade life, reduces heat production and helps to contain small chips.

Blade Replacement

• Unplug the saw.
• Operate Blade Release (FIG X, item 8) located at the front of the saw housing.
• Viewing the saw from above, push on the left side tab of the Blade Release Lever then swing it outward to release the blade.
• Grip Blade and pull it out.
• With the Release Lever still in the release position, drop a new blade into the Blade Holder (FIG XI) making sure the teeth face forward and the back of the blade rides in the groove of the Blade Support Bearing (FIG XI).

Storage

• Unplug from power source.
• Remove the blade for safety.
• Wrap cord securely around the tool.
• Store in a clean, dry, dampness free area preferably covered with plastic sheeting.
