for the charger. Make sure your  
extension cord is in good condition.  
Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The  
amperage rating should be listed on  
the motor or tool nameplate. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in  
line voltage resulting in loss of power  
and overheating. Your extension  
cord must also contain a ground wire  
and plug pin. Always repair or  
replace extension cords if they  
become damaged.  
Keep tools sharp and clean for best  
and safest performance. Follow  
instructions for lubricating and  
changing accessories.  
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser-  
vicing and changing accessories,  
such as blades, bits, cutters, and  
the like.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTEN-  
TIONAL STARTING. Make sure  
switch is in off position before plug-  
ging in.

mended. Wear protective hair cover-  
ing to contain long hair.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.  
Also use face or dust mask if cutting

different. Always consider safety  
first, as it applies to your individual  
working conditions. Use this and  
other machinery with caution and  
respect. Failure to do so could result  
in serious personal injury, damage to  
equipment or poor work results.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a  
vise to hold work when practical. It’s  
safer than using your hand and frees  
both hands to operate tool.

footing and balance at all times.

ings on the battery and charger  
before charging the battery.  
2. Charge only using the supplied  
charger and battery. Do not use  
with other batteries, chargers or cut-  
ting tools.  
8. Charger plug has a polarized  
plug (one prong is wider than the  
other). Do not attempt to modify the  
plug. Modifying the plug will result  
in a safety hazard and will void the  
warranty.  
3. Do not expose battery or charger  
to wet or rainy conditions.  
Moisture greatly increases the risk  
of a shock hazard.  
4. Do not touch battery poles with  
any conductive materials. Touching  
any two poles at the same time  
causes a short condition and can  
cause sparks or electrical shock.  
9. Charger is designed to operate at  
110-120 volts. Never try to plug  
into any circuit that is not 110-120  
volts. Never modify or change the  
plug that is attached to the charger  
unit to attempt to plug into 220 volt.  
This can cause serious electrical  
damage to the unit, possible fire or  
explosion.  
5. Do not store battery with conduc-  
tive materials. Storing the battery  
in a box of screws or nails can  
cause shorting across the battery  
poles.  
6. Do not throw battery in fire.  
Combustion of some of the batter-  
ies’ component materials can cause  
toxic fumes and possible explosion.  
BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED  
OF PROPERLY. Consult your local Yellow Pages  
directory under the category “Recycling” to locate a  
battery recycler in your area.

The battery in your new cordless power  
tool will not be fully charged when you  
receive it. To maximize the storage capac-  
ity of the battery it should be completely  
discharged, then fully recharged 3-5 times.  
For optimal life span, completely discharge  
the battery before recharging.  
Like all power tools, there is danger  
associated with the Model H0599.  
Accidents are frequently caused by  
lack of familiarity or failure to pay  
attention. Use this tool with respect  
and caution to lessen the possibility of  
operator injury. If normal safety pre-  
cautions are overlooked or ignored,  
serious personal injury may occur.  
Battery charging with the  
1
hour

only one way. Do not force the bat-  
tery. Insert until it locks into place.  
3. The green light over the word “OFF”  
on the control panel should come on.  
If it doesn’t, make certain the wall out-  
let you are plugged into is working. If  
the outlet power is okay, the fuse  
inside the charger may have blown.  
Fuses should be replaced by a quali-  
fied electrical technician.  
The Model H0599 was specifically  
designed for cutting and boring  
holes. Do not modify and/or use this  
machine for any other purpose.  
Modifications or improper use of

you have answered all your ques-  
tions. Serious personal injury may  
occur.

2. Make sure the securing clasps on  
either side of the cutter base engage  
with the clips on the battery compart-  
ment.  
Thepotentialforinjuryusingthisdevice  
is great. Use extreme caution and care  
when operating, adjusting and main-  
taining this saw. Failure to observe safe  
handling practices will result in serious  
personal injury.  
Inserting and Removing Bits  
REMOVE BATTERY WHEN CHANGING  
BITS  
1. Push the black spindle lock button  
on the side of the cutter and turn  
silver collet with fingers until the lock  
engages.  
Always remove battery from unit  
before changing the blade, adjusting  
or servicing. Failure to observe this  
fundamental rule will result in serious  
personal injury.  
2. Use the supplied wrench to loosen  
the silver collet while continuing to  
push the spindle lock button.  
3. Slide the desired bit into the collet as  
far as possible without covering the  
bit’s cutting edge.  
With the spindle lock button still  
pressed, tighten the collet with the  
supplied wrench until securely seat-  
ed. Do not over tighten.  
Turn the switch off and remove the  
battery from the Jig Saw before  
attempting blade installation or any  
adjustments. Serious injury may  
occur if the unit should be accidental-  
ly started while installing the blade.  
Operating the cutting tool  
1. With appropriate bit in place, turn  
power switch on and slowly engage  
bit into or against the material to be  
cut. Do not turn power on while the bit  
is resting against surface to be cut.  
2. If at any time during the cut the blade  
stalls or stops abruptly, turn power  
off immediately and wait for blade to  
come to rest before removing from  
material.  
Operating this equipment has the  
potential for flying debris to cause eye  
injury. Always wear safety glasses or  
goggles when operating equipment.  
Everyday glasses or reading glasses  
only have impact resistant lenses,  
they are not safety glasses. Be certain  
the safety glasses you wear meet the  
appropriate standards of the American  
National Standards Institute (ANSI).  
3. Do not make a blind cut into a wall  
without first determining if there are  
hazards behind the material to be cut.  
Check behind walls for wires, other  
electrical hazards, or plumbing.  
4. Make sure to use the appropriate bit  
for the specified cutting task.

MAINTENANCE  
Maintenance  
Operating Guides and Tips  
Avoid overloading the cutting tool  
Always use sharpened cutting bits.  
Do not apply excessive pressure to  
the cutting tool while using. If the  
speed drops abnormally, decrease  
pressure immediately. If the bit stops  
abruptly or becomes blocked,  
release the trigger at once.  
Your cordless power tool will give you hun-  
dreds of hours of operation time before  
ever needing service. The electrical com-  
ponents of this cordless cutting tool are not  
user serviceable. Repair should always be  
undertaken by a qualified electrical repair  
technician.  
Ensure the safety of the workplace.  
Clear the work area of all parts and  
debris that may cause injury by flying  
objects. Securely fix the object to be  
cut or fastened in a vise or otherwise  
clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt  
to hold workpiece by hand.  
Keep the cutting tool free from dirt and  
grease. Always store it in a dry place,  
preferably in the case that is supplied.  
The battery will require periodic recharg-  
ing, and eventually replacement after it has  
exceeded its recharge life (approximately  
800-1000 recharge cycles). You will notice  
extended charging times or shortened  
operation time as the battery experiences  
more cycles. Battery must be recycled or  
disposed of properly. Refer to the Grizzly  
catalog for replacement batteries.  
Inspect the cutting tool before use. Run  
the cutting tool before using to  
ensure all parts are running smooth-  
ly and there are no abnormal sounds  
or sparks. If any defect is found,  
have unit serviced.  
Know your worksite. Only cut as deep as  
necessary. Check behind walls for  
wires, other electrical hazards, or  
plumbing.  
Disassembly and improper reassem-  
bly of this device can result in electri-  
cal shock danger. Always have this  
device serviced by an qualified elec-  
trical repair technician. Serious injury  
will result.
