Lock-off Button and Trigger switch
Your saw is equipped with a lock-off button
To lock the trigger switch, press the lock-off button as
shown in Figure C. Always lock the trigger switch
carrying or storing the tool to eliminate unintentional
starting. The lock-off button is colored red to indicate when
the switch is in its unlocked position.
To unlock the trigger switch, press the lock-off button as
shown in Figure D. Pull the trigger switch to turn the motor
ON. Releasing the trigger switch turns the motor OFF.

WARNING: This tool has no provision to lock the
switch in the ON position, and should never be locked
ON by any other means.
The variable speed trigger switch will give you added
versatility. The further the trigger is depressed the higher
the speed of the saw.

CAUTION: Use of very slow speed is recommended
only for beginning a cut. Prolonged use at very slow
speed may damage your saw.

Different blade lengths are available. Use the appropriate
blade for the application. The blade should be longer than
3–1/2" (89 mm) and should extend past the shoe and the
thickness of the workpiece during the cut. Do not use jigsaw
blades with this tool.

WARNING: Cut hazard. Blade breakage may occur
if the blade does not extend past the shoe and the
workpiece during the cut (Fig. E). Increased risk of
personal injury, as well as damage to the shoe and
