[. . . ] Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should also be avoided. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. [. . . ] 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. 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. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. 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. â· Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. 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 electric shock. 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. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use 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. Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. Volts 50/60 Hz or "AC only" means your tool must be operated only with alternating current and never with direct current. Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. [. . . ] ] Turn the shoe around and re-install noting carefully that, when the slot is forward, the screw goes through the hole in the shoe and when the wide opening is forward, the screw passes through the slot in the shoe. WARNING: The jig saw should not be operated with the shoe removed or serious personal injury may result. 8, 9) A pocket cut is an easy method of making an inside cut. The saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board without first drilling a lead or pilot hole. [. . . ]
