Adjusting the shoe plate for bevel cuts
(figure E - G)
The shoe (4) can be set to make either a straight cut or a left
or right bevel cut up to an angle of 45°.
•
Loosen the shoe retaining bolt (9) with the hex key (10)
to unlock the shoe plate (Figure E).
•
Slide the shoe forward to release it from the 0° detent
(Figure F).
•
Rotate the shoe plate to the desired bevel angle
(Figure G).
•
Slide the shoe plate backwards to engage the left or
right detent for a 45° angle.
•
Tighten the shoe retaining bolt with the hex key to lock
the shoe into position.
To reset the shoe plate for straight cuts:
•
Loosen the retaining bolt.
•
Pull the shoe forward, rotate to the center and push it
back into the 0° location.
•
Tighten the retaining bolt.
Switching On and Off (Figure H)
This tool is equipped with a lock-off button (2). The button
must be disengaged for the jig saw to turn on. To disengage
the button, depress the button on the side of the handle
that shows the unlock symbol.
•
To switch the tool on, 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.
How to Use the Sightline® Feature
(figure I)
•
Use a pencil to mark the cutting line.
•
Position the jig saw over the line (11).
•
Viewing from directly above the jig saw, the line of cut
can be easily followed.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
General
•
Use a high speed for wood, a medium speed for
aluminum and PVC and a low speed for metals other
then aluminum Specific materials also require specialty
blades (sold separately).
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may
occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
•
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
•
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
•
To minimize splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood
or hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw
through this sandwich.

Sawing metal
•
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
•
Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
•
When cutting thin metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood
to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
•
Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut.
Rip / Circle Cutting (Figure J - K)
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily
done with the rip fence / circle guide (not included -
available at extra cost).
Using the screw supplied with the accessory guide, position
as shown in figure J and thread the screw into the shoe to
clamp the fence securely.
When ripping, position as shown in figure J and slide the
rip fence under the screw from either side of the saw. Set
the cross bar at desired distance from blade and tighten
screw. For ripping, the cross bar should be down and against
the straight edge of the workpiece as shown.
When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance from
blade to hole in fence arm is at the desired radius and
tighten screws. Place saw so that hole in fence arm is over
center of circle to be cut (drill hole for blade or cut inward
from edge of material to get blade into position). When
saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail through hole
in fence arm. Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting
circle. For circle cutting, the cross bar should be up, as
shown in figure K.
Pocket Cutting (FIGURE L)
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 shoe sits flate on the surface.
Hold the shoe flat against the wood and continue cutting.
Do not remove blade from cut while it is still moving. Blade
must come to a complete stop.
