ATTACHING NON-MARRING OVERSHOE Your tool is equipped with a protective plastic overshoe that protects finer surfaces.

To attach, hook overshoe over front of metal footplate and snap into place at rear of footplate (Fig. 4).

ANTI-SPLINTER INSERT

To minimize splintering of the top surface of the material being cut, place the JA1008 anti-

splinter insert in the blade opening of the footplate (Fig. 5).

Note: This insert will only work with blades that have ground sides such as T301CD, T101B, T101D, and T101DP.

Note: When the insert is used with the non- marring overshoe, the anti-splinter insert has to be placed in overshoe.

Operating Instructions

PLUNGER SPEED

The jigsaw cutting speed or stroke rate required depends on the material being cut, the type of blade being used, and the feed rate preferred by the operator.

The best speed for a particular application is largely determined by experience though as a general rule, slower speeds are for denser materials and faster speeds for softer materials.

Note that when the jigsaw is used at low speed settings for an extended length of time, the motor temperature will rise due to slower speeds of the internal cooling fan. In such cases, it is necessary to occasionally run the tool at full speed for a few minutes to keep the motor running at high efficiency.

VARIABLE SPEED DIAL

Your Jigsaw is equipped with a variable speed dial. The blade stroke rate may be adjusted during cutting operation by presetting the dial on or between any one of the six numbers (Fig. 5).

Setting	SPM rating (strokes per minute)
	JS470E	JS470EB
1	500 Max.	500
2	800 Max.	800
3	1400 Max.	1400
4	1900 Max.	1900
5	2400 Max.	2400
6	3100 Max.	3100

SLIDE ON-OFF SWITCH (Model JS470EB only)

The tool is switched “ON” by the switch button located at the side of the motor housing. The switch locks in the “ON” position, a convenience for continuous operation (Fig. 1).

TO TURN THE TOOL “ON” slide the switch button forward.

TO UNLOCK THE SWITCH, slide the switch button backward.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED

TRIGGER SWITCH (Model JS470E only)

Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger. The speed can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum SPM as set on the variable speed dial by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed.

Regardless of the pressure applied on the trigger, the tool will not operate any faster than maximum speed setting selected on the variable speed dial.

"LOCK-ON" BUTTON (Model JS470E only) The "Lock-ON" button, located in the handle of your tool allows for continuous operation at maximum preset SPM without holding the trigger (Fig. 1).
