2. Safety Instructions
Always follow basic safety precautions when using electric power tools to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

- Electrical Safety: Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators.
- Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating for extended periods. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing or jewelry. Secure long hair.
- Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
- Jig Saw Specific Safety:
- Ensure the blade is securely installed before operation.
- Do not touch the blade immediately after use as it may be hot.
- Always clamp the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during cutting.
- Be aware of hidden wiring or plumbing when cutting into walls or other surfaces.
