OPERATING THE JIGSAW
Disconnect the power plug from the AC power source before any assembly, adjustments, or adding/removing accessories. Following this preventative step reduces the risk of the saw coming on acciden- tally and the risk of damage to the workpiece and injury to the operator.
ADJUSTING SPEED
The operating speed of the jigsaw can be varied by using the Speed Control Switch located on the top of the jigsaw. Turn the speed control from 0 to 6 to set the speed. On most cuts, such as wood and metal, the faster speed works best. On other materials, such as plastic or laminants, a slower speed might be necessary to reduce vibration and make smoother cuts.
OPERATING THE ON / OFF SWITCH
Plug the jigsaw into an approved 115 V AC outlet. This tool is double insulated and equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). Double insulation eliminates the need for a special
PENDULUM STROKE ADJUSTMENT
Together with the electronic speed regulation, the pendulum stroke adjustment helps to set the best combination of blade speed and aggressiveness needed to achieve a desired cut rate and fineness. The pendular knob is used to make the adjustment. The best pendulum stroke setting for the particular work to be carried out can be obtained from the following table. When using a knife blade, the pendulum setting should be 0. We recommend the use of appropriate lubrication for cutting metal.

SAW SHOE / PLATE ADJUSTMENT
Disconnect the unit from the power supply. Raise the safety guard and loosen the hex screw on the shoe plate with the hex wrench. Pull the shoe plate backward and set the desired angular adjustment according to the scale or push the shoe plate forward for fixed Locks at 0°, 15°, 30° or 45°. Tighten the hex screws again. Always replace the hex wrench in the hex wrench holder on the shoe plate immediately after use.
