OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Operating Guides and Tips
Avoid overloading the jig saw. Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool while using. If the speed drops abnormally, decrease pressure immediately.
Ensure the safety of the workplace. Clear the work area of all parts and debris that may cause injury by flying objects. Securely fix the object to be worked on in a vise or otherwise clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt to hold workpiece by hand.
Inspect the tool before use. Run the tool free of the workpiece before using to ensure all parts are running smooth- ly and there are no abnormal sounds or sparks. If any defect is found, have unit serviced.
Know your work site. Take care to make sure the material being worked on is not supporting another structure, or that there are no obstructions. Before cutting into walls, check for wires, other electrical hazards, or plumbing which may be hidden in the wall space.
Operating this equipment has the potential to propel debris into the air which can cause eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Be certain the safety glasses you wear meet the appropriate standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
