Cutting Mode
Lever
Use the Cutting Mode Lever to set one
of the following cutting modes:
a. Straight cutting. Set the Lever to “O”. The
blade travels vertically up and down only.
b. Orbital cutting. Set the Lever to “I”, “II”, or “III”.
The blade travels in a circular motion, up and
down and forward and backward. The higher
the number, the larger the orbit of the blade.
Note:
Do not use the Orbital settings
to cut metal or hardwoods.
NOTICE:
Do not adjust the cutting mode
while the saw is operating.
Basic Operation
1. Make all necessary adjustments to the Jigsaw.
2. Make sure that all guards are in place in
proper working order and that all adjustment
knobs are tight before operation.
3. Plug the Power Cord into the nearest
120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
4. Press the Laser ON/OFF Button to turn the Laser ON.
5. Hold the jigsaw so that the blade is near the start
of cut, but not touching the workpiece. Firmly
grip the Handle with one hand and squeeze
and hold the Trigger to turn on the Jigsaw.
6. Press the Lock ON Button then release the
Trigger to set the Jigsaw into continuous mode.
7. Allow the Saw Blade to reach full speed then
rest the Baseplate on the workpiece and
guide the Saw Blade into the workpiece.
8. Do not force the Jigsaw to cut faster
than it is designed to cut. Feed the Saw
Blade gradually into the workpiece.
9. Turn off the Jigsaw if the Saw Blade is to be
backed out of an uncompleted cut. When turning
off the Jigsaw, allow the Saw Blade to fully stop
on its own before removing the Jigsaw. Do
not press against the Saw Blade to stop it.
10. Once the cutting job is completed, release the
Trigger and wait until the Saw Blade stops. If
using the Lock on feature, press and release
the Trigger to turn off the Jigsaw. Press the
Laser ON/OFF Button to turn the Laser off.
11. To prevent accidents, unplug the Power Cord
from its electrical outlet. Clean, then store
the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
