PLUNGE CUTTING (Fig. 10)
Plunge cutting is useful and time-
saving for making rough openings
in soft materials. It makes it
unnecessary to drill a hole for an
inside or pocket cut.
1. Draw lines for the opening you
want to cut.
2. Hold saw firmly and tilt it
forward so the toe of the saw
foot rests on the workpiece and
the blade is not in contact with
the workpiece.
3. Make sure that the blade is well
clear of the workpiece.
4. Start the saw and then slowly pivot the saw downward until the blade
pierces the workpiece, then cuts through the workpliece and the base rests
flat on the workpiece.
5. Begin sawing in the usual manner along the cut line.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
CAUTION:
Before performing maintenance or cleaning, remove the battery
pack from the jig saw.
1. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always
wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.
2. Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small vacuum cleaner brush to
clear dust or debris from the air vents on the motor housing.
3. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
4. Lubricate the roller guide from time to time with a drop of oil. It will extend
the life of the roller.
