ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing jig saw blade
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or for-
eign matter adhering to the jig saw blade and/or
blade holder. Failure to do so may cause insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the jig saw blade or
the workpiece immediately after operation. They
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
CAUTION:
Always secure the jig saw blade
firmly. Insufficient tightening of the blade may cause
blade breakage or serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use only B type jig saw blades.
Using blades other than B type causes insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
When you remove the jig saw
blade, be careful not to hurt your fingers with the
top of the blade or the tips of workpiece.
Before installing the jig saw blade, make sure that the
blade clamp lever is in the released position.
To install the jig saw blade, insert the blade (teeth facing
forward) into the blade holder. The lever moves to the
fixed position and the blade is locked. Make sure that
the back edge of the blade fits into the roller. Pull the
blade lightly to make sure that the blade does not fall off
during operation.

CAUTION:
If the lever does not move to the fixed
position, the blade is not installed completely. Do not
press the lever by hand to the fixed position. It may
damage the tool.
To remove the jig saw blade, push the lever forward as
far as it will go. This allows the blade to be released.

NOTE: Occasionally lubricate the roller.
Hex wrench storage
► Fig.9: 1. Hook 2. Hex wrench
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
First, insert the hex wrench into the hole. Then push it
into the hook until it locked.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always hold the base flush with
the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause jig saw
blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
CAUTION:
Advance the tool very slowly when
cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool may
cause a slanted cutting surface and jig saw blade
breakage.
► Fig.10: 1. Cutting line 2. Base
Turn the tool on without the jig saw blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then
rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move the
tool forward along the previously marked cutting line.
Bevel cutting
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before tilting the base.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).
► Fig.11
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in
the center of the cross-shaped slot in the base.
► Fig.12: 1. Hex wrench 2. Bolt 3. Base
Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained.
The edge of the motor housing indicates the bevel
angle by graduations. Then tighten the bolt to secure
the base.

► Fig.14: 1. Hex wrench 2. Bolt 3. Base
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench and slide the base all the way back. Then
tighten the bolt to secure the base.
