I. INTENDED USE

Thank you for purchasing the Pana- sonic Jigsaw. This jigsaw can be used with Panasonic rechargeable batteries to provide excellent cutting perform- ance. The jigsaw is for cutting metal, wood, and drywall only.

Read the “Safety Instructions” booklet and the following before using.

II.ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1)Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an op- eration where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

2)Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

3)Keep hands away from cutting area and blade. Keep your insu- lated gripping surfaces. If both hands are holding the tool, they cannot be cut by the blade.

4)Never hold piece being cut in your hands or across your leg. It is important to support the work properly to minimize body exposure or loss of control.

5)Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, since it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.

6)Always use safety goggles or glasses with side shields. Ordi- nary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.

7)When this tool is used for woodworking in confined areas (e.g. indoors), wear dust mask.

8)Avoid cutting nails. Inspect work- piece for any nails and remove them before operation.

9)Do not cut oversized workpiece.

10)Check for the proper clearance beyond the workpiece before cut- ting so that the blade will not strike the floor, workbench, etc.

11)Hold the tool firmly.

12)Make sure the blade is not con- tacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

13)Keep hands away from moving parts.

14)Do not touch the blade or work- piece immediately after opera- tion; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

15)Never swing tool.

16)Do not use blades which are de- formed or cracked.

17)Do not use blades which do not comply with the characteristics specified in these instructions.

18)Remove the battery pack from the tool body before replacement of the blade, making adjustments, or other maintenance work.

19)Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods.
