5.Whenever possible, secure the workpiece that is to be cut in a vise or with clamps.

6.Insert the fully charged Battery (1A) in the Jigsaw’s Handle, and make sure the Spring on the Battery snaps into place on the Handle.

(See Figure G.)

7.The Jigsaw is equipped with a Safety Button that prevents accidental starting. To turn on the Jigsaw, depress the Safety Button and then squeeze the Switch (5E). NOTE: Always grip the Jigsaw firmly with both hands when the tool is running.

(See Figure G.)

8.WARNING! Always keep hands and fingers away from the moving Saw Blade (16E). (See Figure G.)

9.Lightly feed the Saw Blade (16E) into the workpiece and apply light, gradual, forward, pressure on the Jigsaw to move the tool along the area to be cut.

10.Do not attempt to back out of an uncompleted cut while the Jigsaw is running. If necessary, release pressure on the Switch (5E) to turn off the Jigsaw. Then, remove the tool from the workpiece. (See Figure G.)

11.IMPORTANT: If, during the cutting process it becomes necessary to replace a bent or broken Saw Blade (16E) with a new Saw Blade, or re-adjust the angle of the Base Plate (19E), make sure to turn off the Jigsaw and disonnect the Battery (1A). Re-install a new Saw Blade, or re-adjust the Base Plate, and then re-attach the Battery. (See Figure G.)
