Wood Cutting
Be sure board is firmly positioned. Don't attempt to turn on when blade
is against material to be cut. This could stall the motor. Place front of
shoe on material to be cut and hold jig saw shoe firmly against the
wood while cutting. Don't force the tool; let the blade cut at its own
speed. Whenever possible, clamp or support work close to the line of
cut; when the cut is completed, shut off power, let blade come to a
complete stop and then lay the saw aside before loosening the work.
Use the higher speed setting for cutting wood.
Rip & Circle Cutting
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done with an
accessory Rip Fence and Circle Guide (available at small extra cost).
When using the Rip Fence and Circle Guide, the shoe must be in the
Anti-Splintering position. When ripping: insert rip fence in either side of
saw with cross bar facing down; adjust to width of cut and tighten screw.
When circle cutting: Insert rip fence from either side with cross bar
facing up; adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole in cross
bar is the desired radius and tighten screw; place saw so that center of
hole in cross bar is over center of circle to be cut (make pocket cut, drill
hole for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade into
position). When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail through
hole in cross bar into exact center of circle to be cut. Using rip fence as
a pivot arm, begin cutting circle.
