Original Instructions
3. Slowly guide the jig saw forward, building up speed as you go, keeping the shoe plate at against the workpiece.
NOTE: Do not force the jig saw. Use only enough pressure to keep the blade cutting. Do not force the cutting, allow the blade
and the saw to do the work.
Metal cutting
1. When cutting metal ALWAYS clamp down the metal workpiece.
2. Be extremely careful to move the saw very slowly as you cut. Use slower speeds . DO NOT twist, bend or force the blade.
3. When cutting metals, suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used. Squirt the lubricant onto the blade or workpiece at regular
intervals during cutting in order to reduce wear on the blade.
4. If the saw jumps or bounces as you cut, change to a blade with finer teeth.
5. If the blade begins to clog when cutting soft metal, change to a blade with coarser teeth.
6. For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a stick of cutting wax (if available) or cutting oil when cutting steel.
7. Thin metal should be sandwiched between two pieces of wood or tightly clamped on a single piece of wood (wood on top of
the metal). Draw the cut lines or design on the top piece of wood.
8. When cutting aluminum extrusion or angle iron, clamp the work in a bench vice and saw close to the vice jaws.
9. When sawing tubing with a diameter larger than the blade is deep, cut through the wall of the tubing and then insert the
blade into the cut, rotating the tube as you saw.
5. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the device before performing any adjustment or maintenance operation. If the supply cord is damaged,
it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
Disconnect from the power supply immediately if the supply cord is damaged. Take care not to expose this tool to the rain.
If the carbon brushes need to be replaced, have this done by a qualified repair person (always replace the two brushes at the
same time)
Cleaning
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastic parts are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
Lubrication
All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal
operating conditions; therefore no further lubrication is required.
