Contact with a "live" electrical wire will make exposed metal parts of the jigsaw
"hot" and create a potential for electrical shock to the operator. Do not cut into
existing walls or other blind areas where existing electrical wires may be pres-
ent. If this situation is necessary, remove all fuses and/or turn all circuit break-
ers off in the work area. After cuts have been completed in the blind areas,
inspect to ensure that no electrical wire was cut or nicked before reinstalling
fuses and/or engaging circuit breakers.

The jigsaw can chatter or vibrate if the blade speed is too slow
at the start of the cut. This can cause the jigsaw to kickback and damage the work
area or cause injury.
