1. Insert the bar of the edge guide through the slots in the base of the jig saw. It
can be inserted from either side of the base, with the edge guide facing down.
2. Screw the edge guide locking knob into the threaded hole in the base to
tighten the edge guide bar in place.
3. Measure the distance from the edge of the workpiece to the line-of-cut.
Slide the edge guide to this desired distance and then tighten the locking
knob to secure edge guide in place.
PLUNGE CUTTING (Fig.14)
Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving
for making rough openings in soft
materials. It makes it unnecessary to drill
a hole for an inside or pocket cut.
1. Draw lines for the opening you want
to cut.
2. Hold saw firmly and tilt it forward so
the toe of the saw foot rests on the
workpiece.
3. Make sure that the blade is well clear of the workpiece.
4. Start the saw and then gradually lower the blade into the workpiece, firmly
holding the toe of the saw base to prevent side wobble.
5. Slowly pivot the saw downward like a hinge until the blade cuts through and
the base rests flat on the workpiece.
6. Begin sawing in the usual manner along the cut line.
WARNING! Do not use a scroll blade for plunger cutting.
IMPORTANT!
Do not try to plunge cut into hard materials, such as hard-
woods like oak or maple, or metal such as steel.
Release the trigger switch (1) to stop the tool.
If you press the lock-on button (2) while the trigger switch is depressed, the
switch is kept in the operating position.
To release the lock-on button, press and release the trigger switch.
CAUTION: Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill before setting
the jigsaw down.
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING SPEED (Fig.12)
The variable speed feature of this jigsaw
enhances the cutting performance and
saves the blade from undue wear.
The variable speed dial (10) is used to set
the speed of the blade.
The speed should be adapted to the
material being cut. Use your thumb to
turn the dial forward to increase the
speed and backward to decrease it.
Determine the optimum speed by making
a trial cut in a scrap piece of material.Position”1” denotes the lowest speed.
Position”6” denotes the highest speed.
MAKING A CUT
Place the shoe on the work piece without the saw blade contacting the work
piece.
Switch on the jigsaw and allow the blade
to reach maximum speed.
Use both hands, slowly guide the jigsaw
forward into the workpiece, keeping
the shoe plate (5) flat against the
workpiece.
NOTE: Use only enough pressure to
keep the blade cutting. Do not force the
cutting; allow the blade and the saw to do the work.
USING EDGE GUIDE
(Fig.13)
The edge guide (included) is used for straight cutting:
WARNING!
always unplug the saw from the power source before making
any adjustment or attaching accessories.
