18. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. 19. 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 maintained tools. 20. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool. SERVICE 21. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury. 22. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a risk of shock or injury. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES USB030-2 DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to cordless jig saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury. 1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. 2. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet. 3. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. 4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation. 5. Do not cut hollow pipe. 6. Do not cut oversize workpiece. 7. Check for the proper clearance beneath the workpiece before cutting so that the blade will not strike the floor, workbench, etc. 8. Hold the tool firmly. 9. Check the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 10. Keep hands away from moving parts. 11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 12. Always switch off and wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the blade from the workpiece. 13. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. 4
