Connecting the Plug-It Power Cord

The corded Carvex jigsaws (PS 420 EBQ and PSB 420 EBQ) come equipped with a removable Plug-It power cord. The cord can be removed for easier storage of the tool. The Plug-It port on the PS 420 EBQ model can also be rotated when used inverted under a workpiece, or for fitting in tighter corners.

To install the power cord, insert the cord into the inlet (port) on the tool with the key and keyway aligned, and twist the locking ring ¼-turn until it clicks. Reverse the procedure to remove the cord.

NOTICE: Make sure to fully tighten the plug-it cord a full quarter-turn until it clicks. If the plug is not fully locked, the socket and cord can overheat and be damaged.

NOTE: The 18 gauge plug-it cord is interchangeable with other tools that use the same size cord, but it cannot be used with larger tools, such as routers and saws. The plug has an extra key to prevent it from being used on a larger tool that would otherwise damage the cord. Larger cords may be used with smaller tools, but not the reverse.

Installing the Splinter Guard

The clear plastic splinter guard serves as a zero-clearance throat along the blade to reduce splintering of the topside of the workpiece. The splinter guard is a consumable com- ponent that is replaced when it wears or when blades of different thicknesses are used.

WARNING! This procedure requires the saw to be powered and in operation during a portion of the installation procedure. Care must be taken to pre- vent personal injury. Remove the battery or unplug the saw when instructed to do so.

1.Unplug the saw or remove the battery to prevent accidental starting.

2.Rotate the pendulum stroke lever to the zero position.

3.Slide the plastic splinter guard onto the ribs on the main base, but not far enough to touch the blade.

4.Turn the saw on, and press the front of the splinter guard against a table to allow the sawblade to cut into the splinter guard as it slides the rest of the way on the base.

5.For added life, as the splinter guard wears, you can push it farther back into the base until the gap is gone.
