WARNING:
Do not insert saw blade into air vents. They could come
in contact with electrically live internal parts, and cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
LED LIGHT
See Figure 6, page 14.
The LED light illuminates when the switch trigger is depressed
to give you a clear view of the cut line on your work surface.
GENERAL CUTTING
Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align
cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece.
Make sure the power cord is out of your way and not in the
line of cut. Start the saw and move it forward on the work
surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady
and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.
Do not force the saw. Applying too much forward pressure
to the saw may overheat the motor and break saw blades.
ORBITAL MOTION
See Figures 7 - 8, pages 14 - 15.
The blade of the saw cuts in an orbital motion. This feature
is adjustable and provides faster, more efficient cutting. With
orbital motion the blade cuts through your work in the upstroke
but does not drag across your work in the downstroke. To
adjust the orbital motion, rotate the orbital adjustment knob
to the desired setting. Refer to the chart in Figure 8 to find
the right setting for the job you are attempting.
NOTE: Setting the orbital position to a lower setting will
result in a smoother finish but slower cut. A higher setting
will result in a rougher finish but faster cut.
STRAIGHT CUT
See Figures 9 - 10, page 15.
A straight cut can be made by clamping a piece of wood or
straight-edge to the workpiece and guiding the edge of the
saw against it. Make the cut from one direction only. Don't
cut halfway and complete the cut from the opposite end.
You can also use the edge guide as shown in figure 10.
Loosen the thumb screw and insert the end of the edge guide
through the two slots in the base. Measure the distance to
cut and tighten the thumb screw. Place the edge guide on
the outside edge of the workpiece and cut in a straight path.
OPERATION
WARNING:
To avoid possible serious injury, keep hands and fingers
from between the gear housing and saw blade clamp,
and keep the guard in place.
WARNING:
Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in bro-
ken blades or damage to the material being cut.
ANGLE CUTTING (BEVEL CUTTING)
See Figures 10 - 12, page 15.
Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right
or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15° increments are
marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the base.
An arrow under the motor assembly provides an indicator at
each of the above mentioned 15° increments. A protractor
is recommended when accurate cuts are required.
 Unplug the saw.
 Using the 1/8 in. hex key provided, loosen the base pivot
screw until the base can be moved.
 Rotate base to desired bevel angle.
NOTE: To prevent the blade clamp from contacting the
thumb screw, it may be necessary to move or remove the
edge guide knob when making bevel cuts.
 Tighten base pivot screw.
SCROLL CUTTING
See Figure 13, page 15.
Scroll cuts can be made with the jig saw by guiding the
direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as
shown.
NOTE: Tighter tolerance scroll cutting may require the use
of a scroll cutting blade (not included).
WARNING:
Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in
broken blades or damage to the material being cut.
