WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR JIG SAW
If your jig saw becomes too hot, especially when
used at low speed, set the speed to maximum
and run no Load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor.
Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
GENERAL
Always use a blade suited to the material and
material thickness to be cut. Always ensure the
work–piece is irmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. For easier control, use low speed to
start cutting, then increase to correct speed.
Any movement of the material may affect the
quality of the cut. The blade cuts on the upward
stroke and may chip the uppermost surface or face
of the work piece. Ensure your uppermost surface
is a non-visible surface when your work is inished.
CUTTING LAMINATES
Use a ine tooth blade when cutting most laminates
and thin wood materials. To reduce edge chipping,
clamp pieces of waste wood at both ends on both
sides and cut through the waste wood during
cutting.
CIRCLE CUTTING
Do not use the pendulum action when cutting tight
circles or angles
PLUNGE SAWING

such as wood, aerated concrete, gypsum plaster
boards, etc.!
