MMaaiinntteennaannccee
Your 110 V jig saw will give you hundreds
of hours of operation time before ever
needing service. The electrical compo-
nents of this saw are not user serviceable.
This product is double insulated which pro-
vides protection from electrical shock
should a problem ever develop with
grounding. Great care must be taken
whenever servicing double insulated
equipment to make certain the repair does
not destroy the insulated properties.
Service should be performed only by a
qualified electrical technician.
Keep the saw free from dirt and grease.
Always store it in a dry place.
