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
FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT
The footplate may be tilted to allow angle cuts
up to 45˚ in either direction. To adjust footplate,
loosen screw with 5 mm allen wrench, slide the
footplate towards the back of the tool, and
rotate to the desired angle, as marked on the
