Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
General Operating Instructions
1. Plug the Power Cord into the nearest
120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
2. Position the Saw Blade of the Jigsaw about 1/2" from
the beginning cut line on the workpiece. Do not allow
the Saw Blade to come in contact with the workpiece.
3. Squeeze the Trigger to turn on the Jigsaw.
4. If operating the Jigsaw for an extended period
of time, you may wish to depress the Trigger
Lock to lock the Trigger in its “ON” position.
To unlock the trigger lock de press the Trigger Lock
in the opposite direction to its “OFF” position.
5. Allow the Saw Blade to stroke at full speed
before slowly feeding it into the workpiece.
6. Make sure to hold the Jigsaw firmly with both hands
to avoid kickback. Then, finish making the cut.
7. When finished, release the Trigger to stop the
Jigsaw. Wait until the Saw Blade stops completely.
Then, remove the Jigsaw from the workpiece.
8. To prevent accidents disconnect the power
cord after use. Clean, then store the tool
indoors out of children’s reach.
