The angle selected can be read on
the cutting angle guide on the shoe
plate.
For accurate work it may be
necessary to make a trial cut,
measure the work and reset the
angle as instructed in instructions
1-3.
Repeat the trial cut and reset the
angle setting until the correct setting
is achieved.
MAkING A CUT
Turn on the jigsaw and allow the
blade to reach maximum speed.
Slowly guide the jigsaw forward.
Using both hands, and keeping
the shoe plate 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.
STRAIGHT CUTING (Fig. 9)
A straight cut can be made by
clamping a piece of wood or a straight
edge to the workpiece and guiding the
edge of the saw against it. Make the cut from one direction only. NEVER cut halfway
and then complete the cut from the opposite end.
The straight cut can be also made by using a parallel guide (available
separately).
