OPERATION
NOTE:
Do not use the anti-splintering insert when mak-
ing bevel cuts, scroll cuts, plunge cuts, and when cutting
metal.
SCROLL CUTTING
See Figure 11.
Scroll cuts can be made with the jig saw by guiding the
direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as
shown.
WARNING:
Excessive side pressure to the blade could result
in broken blades or damage to the material being
cut.
ANGLE CUTTING (BEVEL CUTTING)
See Figures 12 - 13.
With the tool-free shoe adjustment, you can make quick
changes to the bevel setting. The shoe can be angled
45˚ left or right for bevel cutting, with positive stops in 15˚
increments. A protractor is recommended when accurate
cuts are required.
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
Push the shoe adjustment forward to loosen the shoe.
Slide the shoe forward and to the left or right. Select the
desired degree of bevel by aligning the tab on the motor
housing with the appropriate notch on the rear of the
shoe.
Slide the shoe back (toward the rear of the tool) to fit the
tab into the notch.
Push the shoe adjustment firmly back into place. Make
sure that the shoe is properly set before starting the jig
saw.
Reinstall the battery pack.
NOTE:
When making a set-up for accurate cuts with
a protractor, or for angles other than the preset 15°
increments, the positive stop notches on the rear of the
shoe are not used.
