BLADE ORBIT SELECTOR LEVER

Maximum cutting efficiency can be obtained by adjusting the blade orbit selector lever to suit the material being cut.

The following chart will help you determine which setting to use for your application. This chart is intended as a guideline only, and test cuts in scrap material should be performed first to determine the best setting.

Setting O

Hard materials such as metals or thin sheet metals. This setting can be used with knife blades, grit edge blades, rasp work. and down cutting blades.

Setting 1

Soft materials where cleaner cutting or delicate scrolling work is performed.

Setting 2

Medium density materials such as harder woods or particle board.

Setting 3

Soft materials such as wood, plastics, etc. and when fast cutting is more important than a clean cut

CHIP BLOWER

Your is equipped with a two position chip blower to help keep the cutting line clear of chips.

By adjusting the chip blower lever the force of the discharge air may be altered as follows;

BLOWER SWITCHED ON

For working with wood, plastic and similar materials that produce large amounts of sawdust.

BLOWER SWITCHED OFF

For working with metals and when cooling agents are used.

FOOTPLATE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

The footplate may be tilted to allow angle cuts up to 45º in either direction.

To adjust footplate, loosen screw with allen wrench provided, slide the footplate slightly forward towards the front of tool, then rotate to desired angle. The detent slots will hold the footplate firmly at 45º, and there are additional position marks for 15º and 30º

angles. Intermediate angles may be set with a protractor. After positioning the footplate securely tighten screw (Fig. 4).

FLUSH CUTTING

To allow the saw to make a perpendicular cut close to a vertical surface, the footplate may be repositioned as follows.

Loosen screw, move the footplate back in the 0º alignment slot, and securely tighten screw. Note that when the footplate is retracted in this manner, only 90º cuts are possible, and the optional cutting guide and anti-splinter insert guide may not be used.

TOOL TIPS

Always be certain that smaller workpieces are securely fastened to a bench or other support. Larger panels may be held in place by clamps on a bench or sawhorses.

To begin a cut, clearly mark the cutting line, and rest the front of the footplate on the work. Engage the switch, and move the blade into the work using only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting steadily. Do not force, as this will not make the saw cut faster; let the blade do the work.

Choose blades carefully, as the ability of the jigsaw to follow curves, provide smother finishes, or faster cutting is directly related to the type of blade used.

PLUNGE CUTTING

Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving in making rough openings in softer materials. It is not necessary to drill a hole for an inside or pocket cut. Draw lines for the opening, hold the saw firmly, tilt it forward so that the toe of the saw foot rests on the work, but with the
