GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The "power tool" in this operator's manual refers to your jigsaw
1. 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.
2. Electrical safety
d) Double insulated tools are equipped with 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 a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates
the need for the three wires grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
e) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
f) Handle the cord carefully. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.
g) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interuptor (GFCI) protected supply.
Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
h) When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked "W-A"or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock.
i) Do not use the equipment close to flammable objects.
3. 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 protection 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, 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.
