4.  CONTROLS

The lock-on switch allows the jigsaw to continue operating without 

having to hold the on/off switch down.

The cutting speed should be adjusted to match the material of the 

workpiece. In general, use faster 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 pendulum action 

selector anti-clockwise to a 

higher setting.

2   To use standard cutting action, 

rotate the pendulum action 

selector clockwise to a lower 

setting.
