5. Prepare a work bench (Fig. 9)
Since the blade will extend beyond the lower surface
of the material, place the material on a work bench
when cutting. If a square block is utilized as a work
bench, select level ground to ensure it is properly
stabilized. An unstable work bench will result in
hazardous operation.

CAUTION
To avoid possible accident, always ensure that
the portion of material remaining after cutting is
securely anchored or held in position.
6. Check battery insertion
WARNING
If the battery is inserted while the power switch
is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, inviting serious accident.
CAUTION
Until the battery locks in place with a little click,
if not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool
causing injury to you or someone around you.
OPERATION
WARNING
Never touch the moving parts.
Never operate the Jig saw with the blade turned
upward or to the side.
CAUTION
To extend the lifetime, the lithium-ion battery
equips with the protection function to stop the
output. Therefore, if the tool is overloaded, the
motor may stop. However, this is not the trouble
but the result of protection function. In this case,
release the switch of tool and eliminate the
causes of overloading.
Don't remove jig saw from workpiece during a
cut while the blade is moving.
Pull out the battery after completing operation.
In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage
or excessive wear on the Plunger, please make
sure to have surface of the base plate attached
to the work piece while sawing.
