HOW TO HOLD SAW
The metal parts of the saw, blade and pivoting guide shoe may be made live if the blade cuts into live wiring within a wall.
To prevent accidental electrical shock the tool must be held as shown in Fig. 13 or Fig.14, and have the rubber front housing cover properly installed and NOT DAMAGED. The rubber front housing cover also serves as an assembly pin retention mechanism. If the cover is removed or becomes damaged the pins can fall out.
Always exercise extreme caution when positioning hands. Use both hands to hold and control tool especially when making angle or scroll cuts. Exercise caution when cutting towards operator.
Always be aware of increased tool vibration, kickback and blade breakage potential when making angle and scroll cuts.
Use only recommended blades with this tool. Do NOT use jig saw blades without the proper blade adapter.
