"LOCK-ON" BUTTON
The "Lock-ON" button, located in the handle of
your tool allows for continuous operation at
maximum RPM without holding the trigger
(Fig. 1).
TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the "Lock-
ON" button.
If the "Lock-ON" button is
WARNING
continuously being depressed,
the trigger can not be released.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
Your Jigsaw is also equipped with a variable
speed dial. The blade maximum stroke rate
may be adjusted during cutting operation by
presetting the dial on or between any one of the
six numbers (Fig. 1).

PLUNGER SPEED
The jigsaw cutting speed or stroke rate
required depends on the material being cut, the
type of blade used, and the feed rate preferred
by the operator. The best speed for a particular
application is largely determined by experience,
FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The footplate may be tilted to allow angle cuts
up to 45˚ in either direction. To adjust footplate,
loosen screw with 5 mm allen wrench, slide the
footplate towards the back of the tool, and
rotate to the desired angle, as marked on the

though as a general rule, slower speeds are for
denser materials and faster speeds for soft
materials. Note that when the jigsaw is used at
low speed settings for any length of time, the
motor temperature will rise due to the slower
speed of the internal cooling fan. In such
cases, it is necessary to occasionally run the
tool at full speed for a few minutes to keep the
motor operating at high efficiency.
BLADE ORBIT
Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained by
adjusting the blade orbit selector lever to suit
the material being cut (Fig. 1). The following
chart will help you determine which setting to
use for your application. This chart is intended
as a guideline only, and test cuts in scrap
material should be performed first to determine
the best setting.
0 hard materials such as metals or thin
sheet metals and usedwith knife blades,
grit edge blades or rasp work
I soft materials where cleaner cutting or
delicate scrolling work is performed
II medium density materials such as harder
woods or particle board
III soft materials such as wood, plastics,
etc.
CHIP BLOWER
Your jigsaw is equipped with an always-on
blower to help keep the cutting line clear of
chips.
angle scale (Fig. 4). Detent slots will hold the
footplate firmly at 45˚, and there are additional
position marks for 15˚ and 30˚ angles.
Intermediate angles may be set with a
protractor. After positioning the footplate,
securely tighten screw).
