KEELAT Jigsaw Safety Handling Guide

🔴 RULE 1: Unplug before you touch the blade. Never touch, wipe or adjust the blade while the saw is plugged in. Pull the plug from the socket first, every time.

🔴 RULE 2: Never change the blade while the saw is plugged in. Unplug the saw, wait until the blade has fully stopped, then swap the blade.

🔴 RULE 3: Always check that the blade is tight before every cut. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it is locked in the T-shank clamp. A loose blade can snap, wobble or jump out of the cut.

🟡 4. Let the blade cool before handling it. Blades get very hot, especially in metal. Unplug first, then wait a few minutes.

🟡 5. Inspect the blade before use. Replace a bent, cracked or dull blade.

🟡 6. Pick the right blade. Wood blades for wood, metal blades for metal and thin steel.

🟡 7. Keep the cord clear. Route it away from the blade and the cutting line, and never carry the saw by the cord.

🟡 8. Wear protection. Safety glasses, a dust mask and gloves when needed. Hearing protection for long jobs.

🔴 9. Clamp your work. Never hold small pieces with your hand while cutting.

🟡 10. Start the saw before the blade touches the material. Let the blade reach full speed, rest the base plate flat, then guide the saw without forcing it.

🟡 11. Keep both hands on the saw and your fingers away from the blade path.

🔴 12. Do not put the saw down until the blade has completely stopped.

🟡 13. Keep the trigger lock engaged when not cutting.

🟡 14. Keep the vents clear of dust. Unplug the saw before you clean them.

🟡 15. Unplug and store safely after use. Keep it dry and out of reach of children.

🔴 16. Stop if something feels wrong. Sparks, a burning smell, strange noise or heavy vibration mean unplug the saw and check it before using it again

🔴 for the most important rules and 🟡 for things to check or keep in mind.
