SWITCHING ON AND OFF
- To switch the tool on, depress the lock-off button (2) then press the variable speed
switch (1). The tool speed depends on how far you depress the switch.
- To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.
ORBITAL ACTION SELECTOR (FIGURE G)
- For fast, rough straight cuts in wood, set the orbital
action selector (7) to the symbol (II).
- For fast, smooth straight cuts in wood, set the orbital
action selector (7) to the symbol (I).
- For accurate, straight and curve cutting and a
smooth surface finish, set the orbital action selector
(7) to the symbol (0).
- NOTE: Orbital action is not recommended when
curve cutting or for use in metals.
CONNECTING A VACUUM CLEANER TO THE
TOOL (FIGURE H)
- Align the dust extraction adaptor (8) with the saw
shoe as shown.
- Insert the ribs (9) into the slots (10).
- Rotate the adaptor until it locks into position. Make
sure that the ribs (9) are correctly seated.
- Connect the vacuum cleaner hose (not supplied) to
the adaptor.
Dust extraction is not possible when making bevel
cuts.
Hints for optimum use
POCKET CUTTING
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
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. The flush cutting blade provides the reach necessary to cut right up to the front
edge of the jig saw shoe. 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 I 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 a higher speed 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.
