MAKING A POCKET CUT (FIGURE B),

IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DRILL A PILOT HOLE:

• Mark the desired starting point.

• Tilt the tool forward and place the rounded front edge of the saw shoe on the workpiece.

• Switch the tool on and slowly feed the saw blade into the workpiece at the desired starting point.

CUTTING SHEET METAL

• Use a metal cutting blade. Clamp a piece of plywood or

soft wood to the back of the workpiece and saw through the combination in order to obtain a clear cut.

• Do not force the saw blade into the workpiece. Note that cutting sheet metal will normally take more time than sawing thicker

wooden workpieces.

• Spread a thin film of oil along the cutting line before sawing.

• To cut, place the front of shoe on the material to be cut. Hold the jig saw shoe firmly against the material while cutting. Don’t force the tool; let the blade cut at its own speed.
