located on the top of the saw. The

 

 

 

speed increases as the wheel is

 

 

turned from a low speed setting of

 

 

1 to a high speed setting of 7.

 

 

Cutting Action – Orbital or Straight (Fig. 5)

WARNING: Check that the tool is not locked ON before connecting it to a power supply. If the trigger switch is locked on when the tool is connected to the power supply, it will start immediately. Damage to your tool or personal injury may result.

This jig saw is equipped with

four cutting actions, three orbital and one straight. Orbital action has a more aggressive blade

motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials like wood or

plastic. Orbital action provides a faster cut, but with a less smooth cut across the material. In orbital

action, the blade moves forward during the cutting stroke in addition to the up and down motion.

NOTE: Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action.

TO ADJUST THE CUTTING ACTION

1.Move the cutting action lever (I) between the four cutting positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3.

2.Position 0 is straight cutting.

3.Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting.

The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the lever is adjusted from one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut.

LED Light

The jig saw is equipped with a light which projects on the cutting path.

The light will come on when the trigger switch is depressed and will go off when the trigger switch is released.

Removable Shoe Sleeve (Fig. 6)

The non-marring shoe sleeve (E) should be used when cutting surfaces that scratch easily, such as laminate, veneer, or paint. It can also be used to protect the shoe surface during transportation and storage.

To attach shoe sleeve, place

the front of the shoe (F) into

 

 

 

 

the front of the shoe sleeve

 

 

 

 

(E) and lower the jig saw as

shown in Figure 6. The shoe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sleeve will click securely

 

 

 

 

onto the rear of the shoe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To remove shoe sleeve,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

grasp the sleeve from the

 

 

 

 

bottom at the two rear tabs

and pull down and away

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

from the shoe.
