Switching On and Off

To switch the tool on, squeeze the trigger switch (A).

For continuous operation, squeeze the trigger switch then depress the lock-on button (B). Once lock-on button is depressed, release the trigger switch.

To switch the tool off, release the trigger switch. To switch the tool off, when in continuous operation, squeeze the trigger and the lock will disengage.

Variable Speed Control (Fig. 4)

A speed control wheel (H) is	FIG. 4	H
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	FIG. 6
the front of the shoe (F) into
the front of the shoe sleeve
(E) and lower the jig saw as		F
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		E
and pull down and away
from the shoe.
