DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three- wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

WARNING:

The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s in- ternal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.

NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replace- ment parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tool has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An un- dersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is desig- nated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.

Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or ex- posed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING:

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Po- sition the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before each use. If damaged re- place immediately. Never use tool with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

JM82 specifications

The Ryobi JM82 is a versatile and compact jigsaw, ideal for both DIY enthusiasts and professional woodworkers. Known for its powerful performance, the JM82 combines modern technology with user-friendly features to deliver precision cutting in various materials.

One of the standout characteristics of the JM82 is its 7-amp motor, providing ample power for cutting through wood, plastic, and even metal. The variable speed control allows users to adjust the cutting speed from 0 to 3,000 strokes per minute. This feature is essential for matching the cutting speed to the material being worked on, ensuring smooth and efficient cuts.

The JM82 also boasts a unique orbital action, offering four different setting options. This orbital feature enhances the cutting efficiency by allowing the blade to move in a circular motion as well as up and down, effectively reducing the resistance and enabling faster cuts in thicker materials. This level of customization empowers users to tailor their cutting techniques to specific tasks, ranging from intricate curves to straight cuts.

Another notable feature of the Ryobi JM82 is its tool-free blade change system. This mechanism allows users to quickly and easily swap out blades without needing additional tools. The ability to change blades effortlessly enhances productivity and convenience, especially when working on projects that require different blade types for various applications.

The integrated laser guide is another remarkable technological advancement in the JM82. It projects a clear line on the workpiece, ensuring precise alignment and professional-grade results. This feature is particularly useful for intricate cuts and patterns, maximizing accuracy and reducing the likelihood of mistakes.

Ergonomics is a key focus in the design of the JM82. The handle is designed with a soft grip, providing comfort during extended use and minimizing user fatigue. A built-in dust blower keeps the cutting line clear of debris, improving visibility and ensuring clean cuts.

In terms of build quality, the Ryobi JM82 is constructed with durability in mind. The sturdy design and high-quality materials ensure that the jigsaw can withstand rigorous use while maintaining its performance over time.

In summary, the Ryobi JM82 is a powerful, feature-rich jigsaw that caters to a wide range of cutting needs. With its adjustable speed, orbital action, tool-free blade change, integrated laser guide, and ergonomic design, it stands out as a reliable tool for any woodworking project. Whether you're creating intricate designs or making straight cuts, the JM82 delivers precision and performance, making it an essential addition to any toolbox.
