CAUTION: Use only Accessories that are recommended by Power Glide for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
Extension Cords
1. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate Ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
2. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
3. Use only UL listed extension cords. Inspect extension cord before use and never use damaged
or altered extension cords. Follow extension cord manufacturer safety instruction.
4. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
Recommended Accessories
• Jig Saw Blades
WARNING: Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presences of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to loose control.
Electrical Safety
1. 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. Unmodfied plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electrical shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electrical shock.
4. 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 entaqngled
cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
5. 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 electrical shock.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions to
reduce personal injuries.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.

Power Tool Use And Care
1. 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 is designed.
2. Do not use power tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands
5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in a manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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 hazardous situation.

Plunge Cutting
WARNING: RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO WORKPIECE. It is not recommended
to plunge cut any material other than wood. To avoid loss of control, broken blades or
damage to the workpiece, always use extreme caution when making plunge cuts. Whenever
possible, drill a 3/8" or bigger pilot hole in the area to be cut and start cutting with the blade
in the pilot hole. This will avoid the need to plunge cut.
1. (SEE FIGURE 9) To plunge cut an inside
hole, clearly mark the cutting line on
the workpiece.
2. Set the bevel angle at 0º then lock the base
plate. Note: Use a protractor or square to
check the bevel angle between the blade
and the base. Make a test cut in a scrap
piece of material and measure the
bevel angle.
3. Adjust the variable speed control knob (2) to
the desired setting.
4. Hold the tool firmly by the grip (4) and tilt
the saw forward so it rests on the front
edge of the base plate and in a position so
the blade will not touch the workpiece when
the switch is turned on. Note: Make sure the
saw blade is within the perimeter of the
area to be cut.
5. Start the saw and allow it to reach full
speed. Slowly lower the tip of the blade
onto the workpiece while making sure the
front of the saw remains in contact with the
workpiece. Allow the blade to cut through
the wood.
6. Continue lowering the blade into the work-
piece until the saw base rests flat on
the workpiece.
7. Continue sawing toward the cutting line
and complete the cut as required.
Tips for Metal Cutting
Metals such as pipe, steel rods, sheet steel, aluminum, brass and copper can be cut with
your saw.
• To cut thin sheet material, “sandwich” the material between hardboard or plywood and
clamp the layers to limit vibration and material tearing.
• Always use a fine tooth metal cutting blade and run the saw at medium speeds when
cutting metal.
• Use cutting oil to keep blade cool, increase cutting action and prolong blade life.
• Do not force the saw blade. Let it cut at its own speed.

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live"wire will 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.

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY
Electrical Safety
1. Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.)
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three
wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electrical shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from the outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
Extension Cords
1. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to
use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate Ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
2. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W".
