OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, depress the trigger lock button and
disconnect battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection. Under some conditions and duration of use,
noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Risk of dust inhalation. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, ALWAYS wear an approved dust mask.
WARNING:
• Make sure your workpiece is well secured. Remove
nails, screws and other fasteners that may damage
the blade.
• Check that there is sufficient space for the blade
underneath the workpiece. Do not cut materials that
are thicker than the maximum cutting depth.
• Use sharp saw blades only. Damaged or bent saw
blades must be removed immediately.
• Never run your tool without a saw blade.
• For optimal results, move the tool smoothly and
constantly over the workpiece. Do not exert lateral
pressure on the saw blade. Keep the shoe flat on the
workpiece. When sawing curves, circles or other round
shapes, push the tool gently forward.
• Wait until the tool has come to a standstill before
removing the saw blade from the workpiece. After
sawing the blade may be very hot. Do not touch.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. L)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the main handle
Cutting
WARNING: The jig saw should not be operated with the
shoe removed or serious personal injury may result.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. M)
A pocket cut is an easy method of making an inside cut. The
saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board without first
drilling a lead or pilot hole. In pocket cutting, measure the
surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the saw
forward until the front end of the shoe sits firmly on the work
surface and the blade clears the work through its full stroke.
Switch the tool on and allow it to attain maximum speed. Grip

the saw firmly and lower the back edge of tool slowly until the
blade reaches its complete depth. Hold the shoe flat against the
wood and begin cutting. Do not remove blade from cut while it
is still moving. Blade must come to a complete stop.
Flush Cutting (Fig. N)
A flush cut is necessary when finishing off cuts up to a wall or
an obstacle, such as back-splash. One of the easiest ways to
accomplish the flush cut is to use a flush cutting blade (DT2074).
The flush cutting blade provides the reach necessary to cut
right up to the front edge of the jig saw shoe. Remove the
anti-splinter insert and return the shoe to the 0° positive stop
position before installing and using the flush cutting blade. For
the best cut quality the flush cutting blade should be used in
the 0 or 1 orbital position. The flush cutting blade should not be
used to start the cut because the flush cutting blade prevents
the shoe from being supported by the work surface. Use wood
cutting practices explained below.
Wood Cutting
Support the workpiece adequately at all times. Use the higher
speed setting for cutting wood. Do not attempt to turn the tool
on when blade is against material to be cut. This could stall the
motor. Place the front of shoe on the material to be cut and hold
the jig saw shoe firmly against the wood while cutting. Don't
force the tool; let the blade cut at its own speed. When the cut
is complete, turn the jig saw off. Let blade come to a complete
stop and then lay the saw aside before loosening the work.
Metal Cutting
In cutting thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood to
the bottom of sheet metal; this will insure a clean cut without
the risk of vibration or tearing of metal. Always remember to use
a finer blade for ferrous metals (for those that have a high iron
content); and use a coarser blade for non-ferrous metals (those
that do not have an iron content). Use a high speed setting
for cutting soft metals (aluminum, copper, brass, mild steel,
galvanized. pipe, conduit sheet metal, etc.). Use lower speed to
cut plastics, tile, laminate, hard metals, and cast iron.
