GROUNDINGSYMBOLOGY

ASSEMBLY

WARNING Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of elec- tric shock. Check with a qualiﬁed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a MILWAUKEE service facility before use. If the plug will not ﬁt the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualiﬁed electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs Tools marked “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet (See Figure A). If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock.

The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. Your tool must

be plugged into an appropriate outlet, prop- erly installed and grounded in accordance

with all codes and ordinances. The
plug and outlet should look like	Fig. A
those in Figure A.	Fig. A

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Tools marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisﬁes OSHArequirements and com- plies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the

Canadian StandardAssociation and

the National Electrical Code. Double Insulated tools may be used in ei-

ther of the 120 volt outlets shown in Fig. B Fig. C Figures B and C.

In speciﬁc countries, double insulated tools could be used in the output connections suitable for the plug.

slots on the housing.

3.To remove, press in the sides of the transparent blade cover and pull away from the blade.

Using the Anti-Splinter Device

The anti-splinter device helps stabilize the work- piece and reduce workpiece splinter.

1.	Unplug tool.
2.	Slide the anti-splinter de-	Anti-splinter
	vice onto the shoe. Make
	sure the anti-splinter device	device
	is installed ﬂush with the
	bottom of the shoe.
NOTE: Do not use the anti-		Shoe
splinter device or dust collec-
tion attachment when making
bevel/angle cuts.
Using the shoe cover
The shoe cover is used to
prevent marring and scratch-
ing of the workpiece surface.
To attach the shoe cover:
1.	Unplug tool.
2.	Hook the front of the cover
3.	over the steel shoe.
	Snap the rear of the shoe
	cover over the back of the
	shoe. Be sure both sides are snapped in place.

4.When the shoe cover is not needed, remove it by pulling the tabs on rear of the shoe cover down. Unhook the front of the shoe cover and remove.

Using the Dust Collection Attachment

1.Unplug tool.

2.To install, line-up the small end of the dust col- lection attachment with the curved area at the back of the shoe. Slide into place. The clip on the top of the attachment will slide into the slot on the underside of the jigsaw motor housing.

3.To remove, press up on the clip and slide at- tachment away from jigsaw.

NOTE: Do not use the anti-splinter device or dust collection attachment when making bevel/angle cuts.

Adjusting the Shoe The shoe may be tilted up to 45° in either direc- tion. To set a tilt angle for bevel/angle cuts:

1. Unplug tool.

2. Remove anti-splinter device and dust collec- tion attachment.

3. Loosen the shoe ad- justment lever and pull the base forward slightly until the detents are not engaged.

4.Tilt the shoe to the required preset angle (0°, 15°, 30°, or 45°).

5.Push the shoe into the detent and tighten the shoe adjustment lever.

6.To set an angle other than 0°, 15°, 30°, or 45°, loosen the shoe adjustment lever and pull the base forward slightly until the detents are not engaged. Set the desired angle and tighten the shoe adjustment lever without engaging a detent. Make a test cut to verify the angle.
