PRIOR TO OPERATION

1. Preparing and checking the work environment
Make sure that the work site meets all the conditions
laid forth in the precautions.
2. Checking the battery
Make sure that the battery is installed firmly. If it is at
all loose it could come off and cause an accident.
3. Dust produced in operation
The dust produced in normal operation may affect
the operator's health. Either of following way is
recommended.
a) Wear a dust mask
b) Use external dust collection equipment
When using the external dust collection equipment,
connect the adapter with the hose from external dust
collection equipment. (Fig. 23)
4. Changing blades
(1) Open the lever up to the stop. (Fig. 5-arrow I)
(2) Remove fitted blade.
(3) Insert new blade up to the stop in the blade holder.
(Fig. 5-arrow II)
(4) Close the lever. (Fig. 5-arrow III)
CAUTION
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect the
battery from the body when changing blades.
Do not open the lever when plunger is moving.
NOTE:
Confirm the protrusions of blade inserted to the blade
holder surely. (Fig. 6)
Confirm the blade located between the groove of
roller. (Fig. 7)
5. Switch Operation (Fig. 8, 9)
The saw is provided with a lock off button on the top
of the handle to prevent the motor from being
switched on inadvertently. Pushing in the lock off
button to the locked position prevents the switch from
being pulled. Pushing in the lock off button to the
free position allows the switch to be pulled and the
motor to operate.
The number of strokes of the blade can be adjusted
to within the range of 0 to 2400 strokes/minute
depending on the amount the switch is pulled. In
addition, releasing the switch activates a break that
stops the blade immediately.
When the switch is turned on, an LED lamp lights to
illuminate the end of the blade. This lamp goes out
when the switch is released.
CAUTION
Always make sure to push in the lock off button to
the locked position when not using the saw.
Do not look directly into the light from the LED lamp.
Continuous and direct exposure to the light from the
LED lamp can injure your eyes.
6. Adjusting the orbital operation
(1) This Jig Saw employs orbital operation which moves
the blade back and forth, as well as up and down. Set
the change knob shown in Fig. 10 to "0" to eliminate
the orbital operation (the blade moves only up and
down). The orbital operation can be selected in 4 steps
from "0" to "III".
(2) For the hard material, such as a steel plate, etc.,
decrease the orbital operation. For the soft material,
such as lumber, plastic, etc., increase the orbital
operation to increase work efficiency. To cut the
material accurately, decrease the orbital operation.
7. Cutting stainless steel plates
This Jig Saw can cut stainless steel plates by using
No. 97 blade. Carefully read "Concerning cutting of
stainless steel plates" for proper operation.
8. Splinter guard
Using the splinter guard when cutting wood materials
will reduce splintering of cut surfaces.
Insert the splinter guard in the space on the base, and
push it completely. (See Fig. 11)
9. Chip cover
Chip cover prevents chips from flying off and
improves the efficiency of dust collector.
Insert the chip cover between the base and lever, and
push with a slight pressure until it catches in place.
(Fig. 12)
When removing chip cover, hold both sides of knob
and slightly open until it can be removed from the Jig
Saw. (Fig. 13)
NOTE:
There is a possibility that chip cover is frosted when
cutting the metal.
10. Sub base
Using the sub base (made from steel) will reduce
abrasion of aluminium base especially in cutting
metals.
Using the sub base (made from resin) will reduce
scratching of cut surface. Attach the sub base to the
bottom surface of base by attached 4 screws.
11. About Remaining Battery Indicator
When pressing the remaining battery indicator switch,
the remaining battery indicator lamp lights and the
battery remaining power can be checked. (Fig. 14)
When releasing your finger from the remaining
battery indicator switch, the remaining battery
indicator lamp goes off. The table 4 shows the state
of remaining battery indicator lamp and the battery
remaining power.
State of lamp Battery Remaining Power
The battery remaining power
is enough.
The battery remaining power
is a half.
The battery remaining power
is nearly empty.
Re-charge the battery soonest
possible.
As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat
differently depending on ambient temperature and
battery characteristics, read it as a reference.
NOTE:
Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break
it.It may lead to a trouble.
To save the battery power consumption, the
remaining battery indicator lamp lights while pressing
the remaining battery indicator switch.
