User manual DEWALT DW317K

[. . . ] â· Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. â· Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. â· Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. [. . . ] 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. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. 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. 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. All DEWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. For continuous operation, squeeze the trigger switch then depress the lock button (B). To release from continuous operation, squeeze the trigger and the lock will disengage. The variable speed is controlled in two ways: speed control dial (C) and the trigger switch (A). SPEED CONTROL DIAL By rotating the speed control dial (C) in either direction, the maximum speed or strokes-perminute at which the blade will cut is adjusted. The speed control dial adjusts the speed that the blade will cut from approximately 500 SPM on speed 1 to approximately 3, 100 SPM on speed 6. TRIGGER SWITCH As the trigger switch is pressed in, the strokes-per-minute continue to increase, but not to exceed the maximum setting on the speed control dial. [. . . ] Place the front of shoe on the material to be cut and hold the jig saw shoe firmly against the wood while cutting. DEWALT will repair, without charge, any defects due to faulty materials or workmanship for three years from the date of purchase.
