WARNING
Face the good side of the material down and secure it in a bench vise, or clamp it down. Draw
cutting lines or designs on the side of the material facing up towards you. Place the front edge
of the saw foot on the work piece and align the blade with the line to be cut. Hold the jig saw
firmly, turn it on, and press down to keep the saw foot flat against the work as you slowly push
the saw into the work piece in the direction of the cut.
Gradually increase the cutting speed, cutting close to the line (unless you want to leave stock
for finish sanding). You may have to adjust or relocate the vise or clamps as you cut to keep
the work stable. Do not force the saw, or the blade teeth may rub and wear without cutting and
the blade may break. Let the saw do most of the work. When following curves, cut slowly so
that the blade can cut across the grain. This will give you an accurate cut and will prevent the
blade from wandering.
