SPECIFIC WARNINGS FOR JIGSAWS

1. ONLY sharp saw blades in perfect working condition should be used; cracked or

bent saw blades should be discarded and replaced at once.

2. ALWAYS ensure that the blade is securely fixed.

3. ALWAYS use the appropriate blade for the material being cut.

4. ALWAYS use a cooling agent when cutting metals, i.e. cutting oil.

5. ALWAYS allow sufficient clearance beneath the work to ensure the blade does

not come into contact with the floor, table etc.

6. ALWAYS check for hidden electrical wires or water pipes etc.

7. ALWAYS keep the mains cable well away from the machine and ensure an

adequate electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted

by the length of the cable.

8. When cutting wood, ensure any nails have been removed beforehand. Nails will

damage the wood saw blade.

9. NEVER allow the ventilation slots in the machine to become blocked.

10. NEVER attempt to stop the saw blade with your fingers.

11. NEVER put the saw down on a table or work bench unless switched off. The saw

blade will keep running briefly after the tool has been switched off.

12. DO NOT cut material above the specified thickness.

13. DO NOT cut through walls or cavities before checking for hidden electrical wires

or water pipes etc.

14. DO NOT touch the blade immediately after use, allow time for it to cool.

15. DO NOT attempt to saw extremely small workpieces.

16. Wherever possible, use clamps and vices to fasten the workpiece securely.
