SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS
It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains
relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols
below are used to help you recognize this information.
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e)
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
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, nonskid 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 and/ or battery pack, 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.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables

3
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
JIG SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
•Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
•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.
•Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach underneath the material for any
reason. Hold front of saw by grasping the contoured gripping area. Do not insert
fingers or thumb into the vicinity of the reciprocating blade and blade clamp. Do not
stabilize the saw by gripping the shoe.
• Keep blades sharp. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure.
• Use extra caution when cutting overhead and pay particular attention to overhead
wires which may be hidden from view. Anticipate the path of falling branches and
debris ahead of time.
• When cutting pipe or conduit ensure that they are free from water, electrical
wiring, etc.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
  •leadfromlead-basedpaints,
  •crystallinesilicafrombricksandcementandothermasonryproducts,and
•arsenicandchromiumfromchemically-treatedlumber(CCA).
Yourriskfromtheseexposuresvaries,dependingonhowoftenyoudothistypeof
work.Toreduceyourexposuretothesechemicals:workinawellventilatedarea,and
workwithapprovedsafetyequipment,suchasthosedustmasksthatarespecially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash
exposed areas with soap and water.Allowingdusttogetintoyourmouth,eyes,or

-Sawfromthebacksurfaceoftheworkpiece.
-Tominimizesplintering,clampapieceofscrapwoodorhardboardtobothsidesof
theworkpieceandsawthroughthissandwich.
Sawing metal
-Beawarethatsawingmetaltakesmuchmoretimethansawingwood.
-Useasawbladesuitableforsawingmetal.
-Whencuttingthinmetal,clampapieceofscrapwoodtothebacksurfaceofthe
workpieceandcutthroughthissandwich.
-Spreadafilmofoilalongtheintendedlineofcutforeasieroperationandlonger
bladelife.Forcuttingaluminum,keroseneispreferred.
RIP / CIRCLE CUTTING (FIGURE G, H)
Rippingandcirclecuttingwithoutapencillineare
easilydonewiththeripfence/circleguide(not
included-availableatextracost).
Using the screw supplied with the accessory guide,
position as shown in figure G and thread the screw
into the shoe to clamp the fence securely.
When ripping, position as shown in figure G and slide
the rip fence under the screw from either side of the
saw.Setthecrossbar(10)atdesireddistancefrom
bladeandtightenscrew.Forripping,thecrossbar
should be down and against the straight edge of the
workpieceasshown.
When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance
frombladetoholeinfencearm(11)isatthedesired
radiusandtightenscrew.Placesawsothatholein
fencearmisovercenterofcircletobecut(drillhole
for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get
bladeintoposition).Whensawisproperlypositioned,
drive a small nail through hole in fence arm. Using rip
fenceasapivotarm,begincuttingcircle.Forcircle

Avertissements de sécurité généraux pour les outils électriques
AVERTISSEMENT : Lire tous les avertissements de sécurité et toutes les
directives. Lenon-respectdesavertissementsetdesdirectivespourraitsesolder
parunchocélectrique,unincendieet/ouuneblessuregrave.
Conserver tous les avertissements et toutes les directives pour un
usage ultérieur.
 Leterme«outilélectrique»citédanslesavertissementsserapporteàvotreoutil
électriqueàalimentationsursecteur(avecfil)ouparpiles(sansfil).
1) Sécurité du lieu de travail
a) Tenir la zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Les endroits sombres sont souvent des
causes d’accidents.
b) Ne pas faire fonctionner d’outils électriques dans un milieu déflagrant, soit en
présence de liquides inflammables, de gaz ou de poussière. Les outils électriques
produisent des étincelles qui peuvent enammer la poussière ou les vapeurs.
c) Éloigner les enfants et les curieux au moment d’utiliser un outil électrique. Une
distraction pourrait vous en faire perdre la maîtrise.
2) Sécurité en matière d’électricité
a) Les fiches des outils électriques doivent correspondre à la prise. Ne jamais modifier
la fiche en aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser de che d’adaptation avec un outil électrique
mis à la terre. Le risque de choc électrique sera réduit par l’utilisation de ches non
modiées correspondant à la prise.
b) Éviter tout contact physique avec des surfaces mises à la terre comme des tuyaux,
des radiateurs, des cuisinières et des réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique est
plus élevé si votre corps est mis à la terre.
c) Ne pas exposer les outils électriques à la pluie ou à d’autres conditions où il pourrait
être mouillé. La pénétration de l’eau dans un outil électrique augmente le risque de choc
électrique.
d) Ne pas utiliser abusivement le cordon d’alimentation. Ne jamais utiliser le
cordon pour transporter, tirer ou débrancher un outil électrique. Tenir le cordon
éloigné de la chaleur, de l’huile, des bords tranchants ou des pièces mobiles. Les
cordons endommagés ou emmêlés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.
e) Pour l’utilisation d’un outil électrique à l’extérieur, se servir d’une rallonge
convenant à une telle utilisation. L’utilisation d’une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur réduit
les risques de choc électrique.
f) S’il est impossible d’éviter l’utilisation d’un outil électrique dans un endroit humide,
brancher l’outil dans une prise ou sur un circuit d’alimentation dotés d’un disjoncteur
de fuite à la terre (GFCI). L’utilisation de ce type de disjoncteur réduit les risques de choc
électrique.
3) Sécurité personnelle
a) Être vigilant, surveiller le travail effectué et faire preuve de jugement lorsqu’un outil
électrique est utilisé. Ne pas utiliser d’outil électrique en cas de fatigue ou sous
l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un simple moment d’inattention en
utilisant un outil électrique peut entraîner des blessures corporelles graves.
