OPERATION
ADJUSTING SPEED SELECTOR DIAL (Fig.7)
The jig saw speed can be adjusted between 500 and 3,000 strokes per minute by
turning the speed selector dial (A). The dial is marked 1 (lowest speed) to 6 (full
speed). In general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces faster but the
service life of the blade will be reduced.
DUST BLOWER (Fig.8)
This improve visibility during use, this jig saw features a dust blower. It produces a
Figure 7
stream of air that keeps the dust away from the cut line.
This dust blower feature can be turned on or off by turning the dust blower switch
(A). To turn the dust blower on, turn the switch to the horizontal position (blower
position) as shown in Fig.7. To turn the dust blower off, turn the switch to the vertical
position (Off position).
LASER GUIDE/LED OPERATION (Fig.9)
This jig saw features a laser guide and a LED work light which can only be turned on
Figure 8
one at a time. Both can not be used simultaneously.
To use the laser guide system, position the laser/LED switch (A) to the "Laser"
setting. To use the LED work light, position the laser/LED switch (A) to the "LED"
setting. To turn either the laser guide or the LED off, position the laser/LED switch to
the "Off" position.
BEVEL CUTTING (Fig.10)
With the base (A) tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any angle between 0° and 45°
Figure 9
(left or right). Loosen the cap screw (B) on the bottom of the jig saw using the
supplied hex key. Move the base so that the cap screw is positioned in the center of
the base. Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained. Retighten the cap
screw to secure the base.
CUTTING OPERATION
Rest the base flat on the workpiece, making sure the blade does not touch the
material to be cut. Turn saw on and let blade reach its maximum speed, then gently
move the jig saw forward along the marked cutting line. When cutting curves,
advance the jig saw very slowly.

METAL CUTTING
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will
cause significant blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased
instead of using a coolant.
CUTOUTS
Cutouts can be made with either methods A or B below:
A) Boring a starting hole: for internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge,
pre-drill a starting hole more than 12 mm in diameter. Insert the blade into this
hole to start your cut.
B) Plunge cutting: You do not need to bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if
you carefully do as follows: Tilt the machine up on the front edge of the base, with
the blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface. Apply pressure to
the jig saw so that the front edge of the base will not move when you turn the jig
saw on and gently lower the back end slowly. As the blade pierces the workpiece,
slowly lower the base down onto the workpiece surface. Complete the cut in the
normal manner.
