– When cutting wheels or discs, cut from
the outside the intended radius.
7. Hook clamp(s) onto footplate, and position
the guide to that adjusted radius measure-
ment.
8. Place lock knob(s) on proper side of
clamp(s) and securely tighten lock knob(s)
on the clamp(s) (Fig. 12).
9. Insert battery pack onto jig saw, hold the
saw firmly, squeeze trigger and slowly push
the saw forward.
CIRCLE-CUTTING TIPS:
• Place small wedges in the cut as shown in Fig.
15, to keep the inner circle from spreading
when near the end of the cut.
• Use a thick jig saw blade, such as the Bosch
T101TP or T144DP whenever possible.
• Make sure that the jig saw's orbital setting is
at 0 (zero).
• Cut slowly so the blade will stay straight in
the cut.
