VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
Your Jigsaw is equipped with a variable speed
dial. The blade stroke rate may be adjusted
during cutting operation by presetting the dial
on or between any one of the six numbers.

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,
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. 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
FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The footplate may be tilted to allow angle cuts
up to 45˚ in either direction. To adjust footplate,
loosen screw with allen wrench, slide the
footplate towards the front of the tool, and
rotate to the desired angle, as marked on the

CHIP BLOWER
Your jigsaw is equipped with a two position
chip blower to help keep the cutting line clear
of chips.
By adjusting the chip blower lever the force
of the discharge air may be altered as
follows;

For working with wood, plastic
and similar materials that
produce large amounts of
sawdust.
BLOWER SWITCHED OFF

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).
