OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VARIABLE-SPEED DIAL (
fig 6
)
Your jigsaw is equipped with a variable-
speed dial. The optimal jigsaw cutting
speed or stroke rate depends on the
material being cut, the type of blade
being used, and the feed rate preferred
by the operator. At the “0” position, there
is no blade action. The “5” position results
in the highest speed. Select the speed
that is appropriate for the material and
the project at hand.
The best speed for a particular application is largely determined by experience,
though, as a general rule, slower speeds are for denser materials and faster
speeds for softer materials.
TRIGGER SWITCH AND LOCK-ON
BUTTON (
fig 7
)
1. Connect the power cord of your jigsaw
to a standard household power outlet.
2. To turn the saw ON, depress the on/off
trigger switch.
3. To turn the tool OFF, release the
trigger switch.
4. To lock the on/off trigger switch in the
“on” position, press the trigger switch and hold it on, then press in the lock-on
button. Release the trigger switch and then release the lock-on button. The lock-
on button allows the operator to keep the jigsaw running without squeezing the
trigger switch. This feature is convenient for continuous sawing applications.
5. To release the lock-on button, press and release the trigger switch.
6. The speed can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum SPM as set on
the variable speed dial and the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply
more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed.
Regardless of the pressure applied on the trigger, the tool speed will not
exceed the maximum speed setting selected on the variable-speed dial.

NOTICE:
When the jigsaw is used at low speed settings for an extended
length of time, the motor temperature will rise due to slower speeds of the
internal cooling fan. In such cases, it is necessary to occasionally run the tool at
full speed for a few minutes to keep the motor running at high efficiency.
