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.
