When the work area is removed from the power
source. Use an extension cord of sufficient
thickness and rated capacity. The extension
cord should be kept as short as practicable.
4. Dust
Dust created by power sawing can cause
damage to health. One of the following ways is
recommended:
а) using dust mask
б) using dust suction equipment.
When using suction equipment connect adaptor
with hose of the dust suction equipment.
5. Changing blades
5.1 Open the lever up to the stop.
5.2 Remove fitted blade
5.3 Insert new blade up to the stop in the blade
holder
5.4 Close the lever
CAUTION
Be sure to switch power OFF and disconnect
the plug from the receptacle when changing
blades.
Do not open the lever when plunger is moving.
NOTE
Confirm the protrusion of blade inserted to the
blade holder surely. Confirm the blade located
between the groove of roller.
6. Adjusting the blade operating speed
The jig saw is equipped with the electric control
circuit which enables stepless speed control. To
adjust the speed, turn the dial. When the dial is
set to “1”, the jig saw operates at the minimum
speed (500 /min.). When the dial set to “5”,
the jig saw operates at the maximum speed
(3000/min.). Adjust the speed according to the
material to be cut and working efficiency.
7. Cutting stainless steel plates
This Jig Saw can cut stainless steel plates by
using No. 97 blade. Carefully read “Concerning
cutting of stainless steel plates” for proper
operation.
8. Splinter guard
Using the splinter guard when cutting wood
materials will reduce splintering of cut
surfaces.
Insert the splinter guard in the space on the
base, and push it completely.
9. Chip cover
Chip cover prevents chips from flying off and
improves the efficiency of dust collector. Insert
the chip cover between the base and lever, and
push with a slight pressure until it catches in
place. When removing chip cover, hold both
sides of knob and slightly open until it can be
removed from the Jig Saw
NOTE! There is a possibility that chip cover is
frosted when cutting the metal.
10. Sub base
Using the sub base (made from steel) will
reduce abrasion of aluminum base especially in
cutting metals.
Using the sub base (made from rasin) will
reduce scratching of surface. Attach the sub
base to the bottom surface of base by attached
4 screws.

CAUTION
In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage
or excessive wear on the plunger, please make
sure to have surface attached to the work piece
while sawing.
1. Rectilinear cutting
When cutting on a straight line, first draw a
marking gauge line and advance the saw along
that line. Using the guide (sold separately) will
make it possible to cut accurately on a straight
line.
