Cutting (Fig. A, D–G)
The blade
7
should extend past the pivoting shoe
the thickness of the workpiece throughout the cut. Select
the blade best suitable for the material to be cut and use the
shortest blade suitable for the thickness of the material.
nOTE: Do not use jigsaw blades with this tool.
nOTE: Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly
anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
•
Place blade
7
and pivoting shoe
to be cut.
•
Switch on saw motor and allow it to obtain maximum
speed before applying pressure.
•
Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting as
shown in Fig. D. Whenever possible, the pivoting shoe
must be held firmly against the material being cut. This
will prevent the saw from jumping or vibrating and will
minimize blade breakage.
Wood Cutting (Fig. E, F)
1. Before cutting any type of wood, be sure the workpiece
is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping.
2. Place blade
7
and pivoting shoe
to be cut.
3. Switch on saw motor before starting the cut.
4. Always hold saw firmly with both hands while cutting.
Whenever possible, the pivoting shoe must be held
firmly against the material being cut. This will prevent
the saw from jumping or vibrating and minimize
blade breakage.
Metal Cutting (Fig. G)
1. Use a finer blade for ferrous metals and a coarse blade for
non‑ferrous materials.
2. In thin gauge sheet metals it is best to clamp wood to
the underside of the sheet. This will ensure a clean cut
without excess vibration or tearing of metal.
3. Avoid forcing cutting blade as this reduces blade life and
causes costly blade breakage.
nOTE: You should spread a thin film of oil or other coolant
along the line ahead of the saw cut for easier operation
and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene
is preferred.
Pocket Cutting - Wood Only (Fig. H)
Measure the surface area to be cut and mark clearly with a
pencil, chalk or scriber.
1. Insert blade
7
in blade clamp collar
clamp securely.
2. Tip the saw backward until the back edge of the pivoting
shoe is firmly on the work surface.
3. Switch motor on, permitting blade to attain
maximum speed.
4. Grip handle steadily and begin a slow, deliberate upward
swing with the handle of the saw.
5. The blade will begin to feed into material. Always be sure
blade is completely through material before continuing
with pocket cut.

nOTE: In areas where blade visibility is limited, use the edge
of the pivoting shoe as a guide.
Project Tips
•
Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put
less strain on the motor while cutting.
•
When cutting, always ensure that the pivoting shoe is
resting against the workpiece. This will improve operator
control and minimize vibration.
•
For longer blade life, use bi‑metal blades or carbide
tipped blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded
to high speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible
and less prone to breaking.
Worklight (Fig. A)
The worklight
is activated when the trigger switch is
10
depressed, and will automatically turn off 20 seconds after
the trigger switch is released. If the trigger switch remains
depressed, the worklight will remain on.
nOTE: The worklight is for lighting the immediate work
surface and is not intended to be used as a flashlight.
