SPLINTER-FREE CUTTING

See Figure 9.

The base of your jig saw has a narrow slot to permit splinter-free cutting. It is especially useful when cutting plywood. This feature should only be used when making straight cuts or circle cuts. It is not for bevel cutting or plunge cutting.

NOTE: The non-orbital setting also helps reduce splinter- ing when cutting plywood.

NOTE: When setting angle at 0° for splinter-free cut- ting, the positive stop notches on the rear of the base are not used.
