OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always hold the base flush with
the workpiece.
Failure to do so may cause jig saw
blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
CAUTION:
Advance the tool very slowly when
cutting curves or scrolling.
Forcing the tool may
cause a slanted cutting surface and jig saw blade
breakage.
Turn the tool on without the jig saw blade making any
contact and wait until the jig saw blade attains full
speed. Then rest the base flat on the workpiece and
gently move the tool forward along the previously
marked cutting line.
