Scroll Cutting, Angle Cutting Bevel Cutting

OPERATION

NOTE: Do not use the anti-splintering insert when mak- ing bevel cuts, scroll cuts, plunge cuts, and when cutting metal.

SCROLL CUTTING

See Figure 14.

Scroll cuts can be made with the jig saw by guiding the direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as shown.

WARNING:

Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in broken blades or damage to the material being cut.

ANGLE CUTTING (BEVEL CUTTING)

See Figures 15 - 16.

With the tool-free shoe adjustment, you can make quick changes to the bevel setting. The shoe can be angled 45˚ left or right for bevel cutting, with positive stops in 15˚ increments. A protractor is recommended when accurate cuts are required.

Remove the battery pack from the tool.

Push the shoe adjustment lever forward to loosen the shoe.

Slide the shoe forward and to the left or right. Select the desired degree of bevel by aligning the tab on the motor housing with the appropriate notch on the rear of the shoe.

Slide the shoe back (toward the rear of the tool) to fit the tab into the notch.

Push the shoe adjustment lever firmly back into place. Make sure that the shoe is properly set before starting the jig saw.

Reinstall the battery pack.

NOTE: When making a set-up for accurate cuts with a protractor, or for angles other than the preset 15° increments, the positive stop notches on the rear of the shoe are not used.
