Operation (continued)

8.When cutting metal, use a nail and score the cutting line prior to cutting so that the blade will stay on a straight course. Metal heats up quickly

when cutting due to blade friction. To avoid ruining your blade and insure a clean cut, use cutting oil (not included) as a cooling agent. Apply a few drops where the blade meets the workpiece as shown in Figure 7. Continue to keep the area lubricated throughout the operation.

Maintenance

Warning! Before doing any maintenance on the Jigsaw, make sure it is unplugged from the power source and the switch is off.

1.After each use, blow out the saw with compressed air.

2.Wipe the saw clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasives or solvent to clean saw.

3.Check the blade prior to each use. If the blade is bent or has broken teeth, replace. Blades are available at Harbor Freight Tools.

4.If there is a noticeable loss in performance, the brush may be worn and in need of replacement. Have an authorized service technician replace the brush.
