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 contact-
ing 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.
 Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to this power
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock, fire, or serious injury.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an elec-
trical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. Be aware of possible hazards when not
using your battery tool or when changing accessories.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious personal injury.
 Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire
or heat. This will reduce the risk of explosion and possibly
injury.
 Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is subject
to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
 Batteries can explode in the presence of a source
of ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless product
in the presence of open flame. An exploded battery can
propel debris and chemicals. If exposed, flush with water
immediately.
 Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock.
 For best results, your battery tool should be charged
in a location where the temperature is more than 50°F
but less than 100°F. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
 Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, bat-
tery leakage may occur. If liquid comes in contact with
your skin, wash immediately with soap and water. If
liquid gets into your eyes, flush them with clean water
for at least 10 minutes, then seek immediate medical
attention. Following this rule will reduce the risk of seri-
ous personal injury.
LASER GUIDE WARNINGS:
The laser guide radiation used in this tool is Class
IIIa with maximum <5mW and 650nm wavelengths.
These lasers do not normally present an optical hazard
although staring at the beam may cause flash blindness.

Avoid direct eye exposure when using the laser guide.
 The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
 Never aim the beam at a person or object other than the
workpiece.
 Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy
workpiece without reflective surfaces. Shiny reflective
sheet metal or similar shiny materials are not suitable for
laser use.
 All repairs should be made by an authorized service rep-
resentative or the laser manufacturer.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
