BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.CAUTION! Always use safety equipment. Wear ANSI approved safety impact eye goggles and heavy duty work gloves when operating the Jigsaw. Also, a dust mask and hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

2.IMPORTANT: Always secure the workpiece in place, using a vise or clamps (not included).

3.Make sure the Power Switch (29) is in its “OFF” position and the Power Cord/ Plug (65) is unplugged from the electrical outlet. (See Figure E.)

4.If necessary, make adjustments to the Speed Adjuster (28) and Cutting Mode Lever (39). Also if necessary, adjust the Base Plate Cover (50) for the desired bevel of cut. (See Figures E and F.)

5.Once all adjustments are made, plug the Power Cord/Plug (65) into the nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.

6.Position the Saw Blade (68, 69) of the Jigsaw about 1/2” from the beginning cut line on the workpiece. Do not allow the Saw Blade to come in contact with the workpiece.

7.Turn the Laser Switch (35) to its “ON” position, and align the laser beam with the cut line on the workpiece. (See Figure E.)

8.Squeeze the Power Switch (29) to turn on the Jigsaw. If operating the Jigsaw for an extended period of time, you may wish to depress the Switch Lock (30) to lock the Power Switch in its “ON” position. (See Figure E.)

9.Allow the Saw Blade (68, 69) to stroke at full speed before slowly feeding it into the workpiece.

10.Make sure to hold the Jigsaw firmly with both hands to avoid kickback. Then, finish making the cut.

11.When finished, release the Power Switch (29) to stop the Jigsaw. Wait until the Saw Blade (68, 69) stops completely. Turn the Laser Switch (35) to its “OFF” position. Then, remove the Jigsaw from the workpiece. (See Figure E.)

12.Make sure to store the Jigsaw in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of chil- dren and other unauthorized people.
