Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Maintain labels and nameplates on
the tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
4. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to
begin work before turning on the tool.
5. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
6. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
7. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and
unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
8. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
9. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
In addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with power Trigger Locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect
to avoid electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly grounded.
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
should also be implemented –
it prevents sustained electrical shock.
10. WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contains chemicals
known [to the State of California] to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and
cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically treated lumber
11. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations
that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this product,
but must be supplied by the operator.

1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-
ups to ensure medical problems are not being
caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood circulation
to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system
disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease
should not use this tool. If you feel any medical
or physical symptoms related to vibration (such
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there
is a choice between different processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as
explained in this manual. If any abnormal
vibration occurs, stop use immediately1

1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not
require grounding. They have a special
double insulation system which satisfies
OSHA requirements and complies with
the applicable standards of Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electrical Code.
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the
120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.%%%

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord.
Double Insulated tools can use either
a two or three wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases,
you must use a heavier gauge extension cord.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire
causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of
power and possible tool damage. ]?**%A,+7*%@1^
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cord. For example,
a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current
than a 16 gauge cord. ]?**%A,+7*%@1^
4. When using more than one extension cord
to make up the total length, make sure
each cord contains at least the minimum
wire size required. ]?**%A,+7*%@1^
5. If you are using one extension cord for more
than one tool, add the nameplate%amperes
and use the sum to determine the required
minimum cord size. ]?**%A,+7*%@1^
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make
sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in
Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired
and in good electrical condition. Always replace
a damaged extension cord or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects,
excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.

1. Plug the Power Cord into the nearest
120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
2. Position the Saw Blade of the Jigsaw about
1/2" from the beginning cut line on the
workpiece. Do not allow the Saw Blade to
come in contact with the workpiece.
3. Squeeze the Trigger to turn on the Jigsaw.
4. If operating the Jigsaw for an extended period
of time, you may wish to depress the Trigger
Lock to lock the Trigger in its “ON” position.
To unlock the trigger lock de press the Trigger Lock
in the opposite direction to its “OFF” position.
5. Allow the Saw Blade to stroke at full speed
before slowly feeding it into the workpiece.
6. Make sure to hold the Jigsaw firmly with both hands
to avoid kickback. Then, finish making the cut.
7. When finished, release the Trigger to stop the
Jigsaw. Wait until the Saw Blade stops completely.
Then, remove the Jigsaw from the workpiece.
8. To prevent accidents disconnect the power
cord after use. Clean, then store the tool
indoors out of children’s reach.

1. W6<R;6%6@TB%F?6I inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• damaged cord/electrical wiring,
• cracked or broken parts, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. @<A6;%F?6I wipe external surfaces
of the tool with clean cloth.
3. Lubricate the guide roller from time to time a
drop of oil. It will extend the life of the roller.

Tool will not start. 1. Cord not connected.
2. No power at outlet.
3. Tool’s thermal reset breaker
tripped (if equipped).
4. Internal damage or wear.
(Carbon brushes or
switch, for example.)
1. Check that cord is plugged in.
2. Check power at outlet. If outlet is unpowered,
turn off tool and check circuit breaker.
If breaker is tripped, make sure circuit is right
capacity for tool and circuit has no other loads.
3. Turn off tool and allow to cool.
Press reset button on tool.
4. Have technician service tool.
Tool operates slowly. 1. Forcing tool to work too fast.
2. Extension cord too long or cord
diameter too small.
1. Allow tool to work at its own rate.
2. Eliminate use of extension cord. If an extension
cord is needed, use one with the proper diameter
for its length and load. See Extension Cords in
Grounding Instructions section on page 5.
Performance
decreases over time.
Carbon brushes worn or damaged. Have qualified technician replace brushes.
Excessive noise
or rattling.
Internal damage or wear. (Carbon
brushes or bearings, for example.)
Have technician service tool.
Overheating. 1. Forcing tool to work too fast.
2. Blocked motor housing vents.
3. Motor being strained by long or
small diameter extension cord.
1. Allow tool to work at its own rate.
2. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and
NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator while
blowing dust out of motor using compressed air.
3. Eliminate use of extension cord. If an extension
cord is needed, use one with the proper diameter
for its length and load. See Extension Cords in
Grounding Instructions section on page 5.
