This tool can be operated with an orbital or a straight
line (up and down) cutting action. The orbital cutting
action thrusts the jig saw blade forward on the cutting
stroke and greatly increases cutting speed.
To change the cutting action, just turn the cutting action
changing lever to the desired cutting action position.
Refer to the table to select the appropriate cutting
action.

Installing or removing jig saw blade
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or for-
eign matter adhering to the jig saw blade and/or
blade holder.
Failure to do so may cause insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the jig saw blade or
the workpiece immediately after operation.
They
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
CAUTION:
Always secure the jig saw blade
firmly.
Insufficient tightening of the blade may cause
blade breakage or serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use only B type jig saw blades.
Using blades other than B type causes insufficient
tightening of the blade, resulting in a serious personal
injury.
To install the jig saw blade, loosen the bolt counter
-
clockwise on the jig saw blade holder with the hex
wrench.
