7. CUTTING
The cutting speed should be adjusted to match the material of the
workpiece. In general, use fasterer speeds for softer materials.
The jigsaw has a pendulum action feature which enables the blade to
cut faster and more efficiently in thick and softer materials. See below
for a guide on choosing the correct setting.
1 To use the pendulum action,
rotate the pedulum action
selceter clockwise to a higher
setting.
2 To use standard cutting action,
rotate the pendulum action
selceter anti-clockwise to a
lowerer setting.
Adjusting the Cutting Speed
Adjusting the Cutting Action
1 -
No pendulum action for fine clean cuts
on thin or hard materials
2 -
Small pendulum action for faster
cutting on hard materials
3 -
Medium pendulum action for faster
cting on softer materials
4 -
Large pendulum action for fast cutting
along the grain on soft materials.
2 Mark your cutting line with a
pencil or attach the parallel
guide.
4 Start the jigsaw by depressing
the on/off switch
1 Ensure the correct
blade is inserted into
the blade lock and is
secure.
3 Place the base onto
the workpiece with
the blade away from
the edge.
5 Move jigsaw forward
with light pressure.
Allow the blade to
stop before lifting the
jigsaw away.
1 For faster speeds, rotate the
variable speed dial to a higher
number or “MAX”. For slower
speeds, rotate the dial to a lower
number.
