3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from

debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the

grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether

the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or

break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away

from the user.

2. 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.

3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,

ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is grounded.

4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

5. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the tools

or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immedi-

ately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

6. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord

marked “W-A” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and

reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when oper-

ating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influ-

ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operat-

ing power tools may result in serious personal injury.

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

SKU 92772 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 3

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging

in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the Power Switch, or plugging in

power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key that is 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. Proper

footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected

situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye ANSI approved safety impact eye

goggles. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection

must be used for appropriate conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support

the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your

body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

3. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.

Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must

be replaced.

4. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and dry. Properly maintained

tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

SKU 92772 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 4

7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and

any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have

the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-

tained tools.

8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous

when used on another tool.

SERVICE

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service

or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the

“Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning”

section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Hold 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. Maintain a safe working environment. Keep the work area well lit. Make sure

there is adequate surrounding workspace. Always keep the work area free of

obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris. Do not use the Jigsaw in areas

near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors. Do not use this product in a damp

or wet location.

3. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Jigsaw. These carry important infor-

mation. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

4. When using the Jigsaw,always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both

hands.

5. Do not use the Jigsaw if it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or

immersed in liquid.

6. To avoid electrical shock, do not pull or carry the Jigsaw by its Power Cord

or pull the Power Cord around sharp corners or edges. Do not unplug the

Jigsaw by pulling on the Power Cord. Keep the Power Cord away from heated

surfaces.

7. To avoid electrical shock, do not handle the Power Cord Plug or the Jigsaw

with wet hands.

8. Always turn off the Jigsaw and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet

before changing accessories or performing any inspection, maintenance,

or cleaning procedures.

9. Avoid unintentional starting. Make sure you are prepared to begin work

before turning on the Jigsaw.

10. Never leave the Jigsaw unattended when it is plugged into an electrical

outlet. Make sure to unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving the work

area.

11. To avoid accidental injury, always wear heavy duty work gloves when

changing Saw Blades.

12. Make sure the workpiece is free from nails and any other foreign objects

which can damage the Saw Blade.

13. Always check to make sure there are no electrical wires or cables in the

cutting path of the workpiece.

14. Keep your body positioned to either side of the Saw Blade, but not in line

with the Saw Blade. “Kickback” can cause the Saw to jump backwards.

15. Causes and operator prevention of“kickback”: Kickback is a sudden reac-

tion to a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an uncontrolled

Saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When the Saw Blade

is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the Saw Blade stalls and the

Motor reaction drives the tool rapidly toward the operator. If the Saw Blade

becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the front edge of the Saw

Blade can dig into the top surface of the workpiece, causing the Saw Blade to

climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the operator. Kickback is a result of

tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can

be minimized by taking proper precautions as given below:

A. Maintain a firm grip with both hands on the Saw,and position your body

and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.

B. When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any

reason, release theTrigger and hold the Saw motionless in the work-

piece until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to

remove the Saw from the workpiece or pull the Saw backward while the Saw

Blade is in motion or kickback can occur.

C. When restarting the Saw in the workpiece, center the Saw Blade in the

kerf and check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece.

If the Saw Blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece

as the Saw is restarted.

D. Support large panels to minimize the risk of Saw Blade pinching and

kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must

be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the

edge of the panel.

E. Do not use a dull or damaged Saw Blade. Unsharpened or improperly

set Saw Blades produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, Saw Blade

binding and kickback.

F. Make sure all Saw adjustments are tight and secure before making a cut.

If Saw adjustments shift while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.

G. Use caution when making a pocket cut into existing walls or other blind

areas. The Saw Blade may cut objects that can cause kickback. Also,

check to make sure there are no electrical wires or cables in the cutting path.

16. Before using the Jigsaw, make sure the Saw Blade is properly mounted on

the tool. Make sure the Saw Blade is balanced, and is not cracked or bent.

17. The Saw Blade will become hot while cutting. Allow the Saw Blade to

completely cool before touching.

18. Allow the Saw Blade to stroke at full speed before feeding it into the

workpiece. Do not force the Saw Blade into the workpiece when cutting. Apply

moderate pressure, allowing the Saw Blade to cut without being forced. When

turning off the Saw, allow the Saw Blade to stop on its own. Do not press against

the Saw Blade to stop it.

19. Turn off the Saw and allow the Saw Blade to stop on its own if the Saw

Blade is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.

20. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

21. Do not stare directly at the Laser beam. A hazard may exist if you deliberately

stare into the beam. Never aim the Laser beam at any person, animal, or an

object other than the workpiece.

22. Make sure the Laser beam is aimed at a sturdy workpiece without reflective

surfaces. Reflective surfaces are not suitable for Laser applications, as the

reflective surface may direct the Laser beam back at the operator, causing poten-

tial eye damage.

23. Do not attempt to alter the Laser (55) or replace it with a different type. Doing so

SKU 92772 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353 PAGE 7

may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

24. Remove all adjusting wrenches before turning on the Jigsaw. A wrench that

is left attached to a moving part of the tool may result in personal injury.

25. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles

when operating the Jigsaw. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, and

hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

26. Use the right tool or attachment for the right job. Do not attempt to force a

small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool or attachment.

There are certain applications for which this product was designed. It will do the

job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify

this product, and do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not in-

tended.

27. Always turn off the Jigsaw and unplug the Power Cord from its electrical

outlet before changing accessories or performing inspection, maintenance,

or cleaning procedures.

28. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drill-

ing, and other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of

California) 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 or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from

chemically treated lumber. 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.

(California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)

GROUNDING

WARNING!

Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric

shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the

outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with

the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the

tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by

a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

DOUBLE INSULATED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS

1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special

double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with

the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian

Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)

2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the

following illustration. (See Figure A.)

FIGURE A

EXTENSION CORDS

Grounded

tools require a three wire extension cord.

Double Insulated

tools

can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge

extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a

serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

(See Figure B.)

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord.

For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord.

(See Figure B.)

4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make

sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.

(See Figure B.)

5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate

amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.

(See Figure B.)

6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the

suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.

7. Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified

electrician before using it.

8. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or

wet areas.
