Product Warning
UL warns of potentially hazardous jig saw
April 6, 2006

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) is warning consumers that the "Professional Woodworker Jig Saw" does not meet UL safety requirements and may pose a hazard to users. The product has not been evaluated for safety by UL and bears a counterfeit UL Mark for the United States and Canada.

The jig saw is brown in colour and has two labels. One label identifies the product as "Professional Woodworker." The other label contains a counterfeit UL Mark and the jig saw's following specifications:

120V- 60 Hz, 3.8A Strokes: 0-3100/min
LISTED, 95GA, E210256, Made in China.

The front of the packaging is marked "Professional Woodworker" with a counterfeit UL Mark. The bottom of the sleeve is marked "Stock No. JS34DLX/02732, Manufactured in China."

This product has features that present potential fire and shock hazards.

UL recommends that users stop using the product immediately and return it to the place of purchase.
