BASE ADJUSTMENT FOR BEVEL CUTS

B

This jig saw makes angle (bevel) cuts up to 45 degrees. To make angle (bevel) cuts, you must adjust the base. Turn the tool off and unplug from outlet before adjusting the base.

To adjust the angle of the base, loosen the base adjustment Bolt (A) on the underside of the saw.

Using the calibrated guides on the top of the Base (B), set the base to the desired angle. Then retighten the bolt on the underside of the base.

Because of the increased amount of blade engagement in the work and decreased stability of the base, blade binding may occur. Keep the saw steady, keep the base firmly on the work piece during use.

CUTTING TIPS

Always secure the work piece using clamps. Never use your hands to hold the work piece in place. An unsecured work piece could cause serious injury.

Do not allow the saw to touch the work piece until the saw blade has reached its full speed. Applying the blade to the work piece before the saw has reached full speed might result in loss of control and injury.

Always choose the right blade for the job.

Clearly mark the line to be cut before beginning. Pull the trigger and apply only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting. Always place the material to be cut face down and cut on the “wrong side”.

For greater ease when cutting, lubricate the blade with cutting wax or oil.

When cutting thin metal or laminates, sandwich the piece between two tightly clamped pieces of wood. This will provide increased accuracy and control.

For cutting metal, use a sharp blade that is designed for cutting metal. Using a lubricant like oil will reduce friction and heat buildup.

This motor uses carbon brushes, which may require replacing. Carbon brushes wear out over time, and could create motor trouble. Keep carbon brushes free and clear of debris, and replace worn parts when necessary.
