clockwise.
6. Check that the back edge (non-serrated edge) of the blade is within the groove of the blade
guide wheel. If it is not, use the hex key to loosen the two bolts that secure the shoe and
adjust the position of the shoe so that the back of the blade is firmly supported by the blade
guide wheel.

Tighten the shoe locking screws.
7. Return the dust shield into position.
8. Connect the Jig Saw to the power supply, switch on and check that the blade runs correctly.
Switch off.
Removing a blade
1. Before performing any adjustments ensure the tool has been switched off and is
disconnected from any power supply.
2. Turn the Jig Saw upside down, slide the dust shield towards the shoe and use the hex key
to loosen the two blade securing bolts.
3. Remove the blade through the gap in the shoe.
Adjusting the angle of the shoe
1. The shoe can be tilted to angles between 0
°
-45
°
left or right so that you can cut bevel angles
in a work piece.
2. Before performing any adjustments ensure the tool has been switched off and is
disconnected from any power supply.
3. Turn the Jig Saw upside down and use the hex key to loosen the shoe locking screws that
secure the shoe.

4. Slide the shoe backwards away from the blade.
5. Tilt the shoe between 0
°
and 45
°
left or right.
Bevel angles of 0, 15, 30 and 45
º
are marked on the bevel scale.
Fig F
Once the angle has been set, slide the shoe forwards again and tighten the shoe locking screws.
If an accurate bevel is required, it is best to check the setting with a protractor or by making a trial
cut in a piece of scrap material and re-adjusting the setting if necessary.

OPERATION:
1.The shoe should always be kept flat against the work piece when performing a cut.
2. Take care to always select the correct blade for the job on hand.
Cutting on a straight or curved line
1. Mark your cutting line with a pencil or other suitable marker.
2. Start the tool by squeezing the on/off switch trigger and wait a few seconds until the
blade achieves maximum speed.
Fig H
3. Place the shoe on the work piece and move forward slowly along the cutting line.
Take extra care and time when cutting curved lines in order to reduce stress on the blade
and the chance of breaking it.
Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload the tool by pushing hard into the cut.
