of the blade. Place the edge of the base against the piece to be cut, keeping the saw blade from contacting
the work piece. Use a cutting guide for maximum control when making straight cuts. Keep the base of the
saw against the work piece. Relief cuts can assist in making more difficult cuts.
Squeeze the trigger to start the blade moving. Allow the blade to reach full speed before attempting your cut.
Advance the tool slowly when cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause undesired cuts or blade
breakage.
This saw is equipped with a trigger lock. To engage the trigger lock, pull the trigger and press the trigger lock.
To disengage the trigger lock, squeeze the trigger again.
BASE ADJUSTMENT FOR BEVEL CUTS
This jig saw makes angle (bevel) cuts up to 45 degrees. To make angle (bevel) cuts, you must adjust the
base. Turn the tool off and unplug from outlet before adjusting the base.
To adjust the angle of the base, loosen the base adjustment Bolt (A) on the underside of the saw.
Using the calibrated guides on the top of the Base (B), set the base to the desired angle. Then retighten the
bolt on the underside of the base.
Because of the increased amount of blade engagement in the work and decreased stability of the base, blade
binding may occur. Keep the saw steady, keep the base firmly on the work piece during use.
CUTTING TIPS
Always secure the work piece using clamps.
Never use your hands to hold the work piece in
place. An unsecured work piece could cause serious injury.
Do not allow the saw to touch the work piece until the saw blade has reached its full speed.
Applying the blade to the work piece before the saw has reached full speed might result in loss of
control and injury.
Always choose the right blade for the job.
Clearly mark the line to be cut before beginning. Pull the trigger and apply only enough pressure to keep the
saw cutting. Always place the material to be cut face down and cut on the “wrong side”.
For greater ease when cutting, lubricate the blade with cutting wax or oil.
