Position Cutting Action Applications
0 Straight-line for clean cuts in wood and plywood. for cutting mild steel, stainless
steel, and plastics.
I Small orbit for cutting mild steel, aluminum, and hard wood.
II Medium orbit for cutting wood and plywood.
III Large orbit for fast, aggressive cutting in wood and plywood.
VACUUM ADAPTOR
your Jig Saw comes with a vacuum adaptor. This attachment allows you to connect it to a
standard 1-1/4" vacuum hose.
To connect the vacuum adaptor to the tool,
align the two tabs on the narrow end of
the vacuum adaptor with the corresponding slots on the back of the jig saw just below the power
cord restraint. Insert it in and rotate counter-clockwise to lock it.

BLADE SELECTION
To obtain the best performance from the saw, it is important to select a specific blade for the
particular application and type of material you wish to cut. By doing this you will get a smoother,
faster cut and prolong blade life.
nOTE:
This tool is designed to work with T-shank blades. Other types of saw
blades are not guaranteed to work properly and may come loose from the tool.
GENERAL CUTTING
CAUTiOn
:
Always hold the base flush with the workpiece. Failure to do so
may cause blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
Jig saws cut on the upstroke
. It causes the work piece surface facing upwards to splinter.
Therefore, determine the “good” side of your work piece, and place your guidelines for cutting on the
opposite side. Properly support and clamp the workpiece with the “good” side down, and with the
guidelines clearly visible and unobstructed (above & below) the surface to be cut.
To start the cut,
place the front edge of the saw base on the workpiece and align the blade with
the previously drawn guideline. Make sure the blade does not contact the workpiece. Turn the saw
on, wait for the blade to reach full speed and slowly move the blade into the work piece. Apply only
enough downward pressure to keep the saw steady on the workpiece and only enough forward
pressure to keep the blade cutting.
EDGE GUIDE CUTTING
you jig saw is equipped with a Rip Guide. It can be used for making cross cuts and rip cuts.
To install the rip guide
1. use Allen wrench provided, loosen the two screws at the front of the base.
2. Insert the rip guide arm through two slots (9-fIG 1) with scale side up.
3. Adjust rip guide to the desired width and lock in place by tightening the two screws.
BEVEL CUTTING
Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15°
increments are marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the base.
To adjust the bevel cutting angles
1. using Allen wrench provided, loosen the two base pivot screws until the base can be moved.
