CAUTION:
At low speed (dial setting: 1 or 2) do not cut a wood with a thickness of more than 10 mm or metal with a thickness of more than 1 mm.
7. Adjusting the orbital operation
(1)This Jig Saw employs orbital operation which moves the blade back and forth, as well as up and down. Set the change knob shown in Fig. 5 to “0” to eliminate the orbital operation (the blade moves only up and down). The orbital operation can be selected in 4 steps from “0” to “III”.
(2)For the hard material, such as a steel plate, etc., decrease the orbital operation. For the soft material, such as lumber, plastic, etc., increase the orbital
operation to increase work efficiency. To cut the material accurately, decrease the orbital operation.
8.Cutting stainless steel plates
This Jig Saw can cut stainless steel plates by using No. 97 blade. Carefully read “Concerning cutting of stainless steel plates” for proper operation.
9.Splinter guard
Using the splinter guard when cutting wood materials will reduce splintering of cut surfaces.
Insert the splinter guard in the space on the base, and push it completely. (See Fig. 6)
10.Sub base
Using the sub base (made from steel) will reduce abrasion of aluminium base especially in cutting metals.
Using the sub base (made from resin) will reduce scratching of cut surface. Attach the sub base to the bottom surface of base by attached 4 screws.
11.RCD
The use of a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA or less at all times is recommended.
CUTTING
CAUTION:
In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage or excessive wear on the Plunger, please make sure to have surface of the base plate attached to the work
piece while sawing.
1.Rectilinear cutting
When cutting on a straight line, first draw a marking
gauge line and advance the saw along that line. Using the guide (sold separately) will make it possible to cut accurately on a straight line.
(1)Loosen the base bolt hexagonal bar wrench attached on base. (Fig. 7)
(2)Move the base fully forward (Fig. 8), and tighten the base bolt again.
(3)Attach the guide by passing it through the attachment hole on the base and tighten the M5 bolt. (Fig. 9)
(4)Set the orbital position to “0”.
NOTE:
To ensure accurate cutting when using the Guide (Fig.9), always set the orbital position to “0”.
2.Sawing curved lines
When sawing a small circular arc, reduce the feeding speed of the machine. If the machine is fed too fast, it could cause the blade to break.
3.Cutting a circle or a circular arc
The guide also will be helpful for circular cutting. After attaching the guide by same way noted as above, drive the nail or screw into the material through the hole on the guide, then use it for an axis when cutting.
(Fig. 10)
NOTE:
Circular cutting must be done with the blade approximately vertical to the bottom surface of the base.
4. Cutting metallic materials
(1)Adjust the speed Dial between scales “3” and “4”.
(2)Set the orbital position to “0” or “I”.
(3)Always use an appropriate cutting fluid (spindle oil,
soapy water, etc.). When a liquid cutting fluid is not available, apply grease to the back surface of the material to be cut.
5.Pocket cutting
(1)In lumber
Aligning the blade direction with the grain of the wood, cut step by step until a window hole is cut in the center of the lumber. (Fig. 11)
(2)In other materials
When cutting a window hole in materials other than lumber, initially bore a hole with a drill or similar tool from which to start cutting.
6.Angular cutting
The base can be swiveled to both sides by up to 45° for angular cutting. (Fig. 12)
(1)Loosen the base bolt by hexagonal bar wrench attached on base and move the base fully forward. (Fig. 7, 8)
(2)Align the scale (from 0 degrees to 45 degrees by 15- degree increments) of the 
] mark on the gear cover. (Fig. 13)
(3)Tighten the M5 bolt again. (Fig. 7)
(4)Set the orbital position to “0”.
NOTE:
Angular cutting can not be done when adopting dust collector.
CONNECTING WITH CLEANER
By connecting with cleaner (sold separately) through dust collector and adapter (sold separately), most of dust can be collected.
(1)Remove the hexagonal bar wrench from the base.
(2)Move the base fully forward. (Fig. 7, 8)
(3)Connect the dust collector with adapter. (Fig. 14)
(4)Connect the adapter with the nose of cleaner. (Fig. 14)
(5)Insert dust collector into the rear hole of the base until the hook catches in the notch. (Fig. 15)
(6)Press the hook to remove the dust collector.
NOTE:
Wear the dust mask additionally, if available.
CONCERNING CUTTING OF STAINLESS STEEL PLATES
CAUTION:
In order to prevent blade dislodging, damage or excessive wear on the Plunger, please make sure to have surface of the base plate attached to the work piece while sawing.
