WARNING!

To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug tool before attaching or removing accessories or making adjustments. Use only specifically recommended accessories. Others may be hazardous.

Adjusting the shoe (Fig. 3)

The shoe may be tilted up to 45° in either direction and moved forward or backward.

Fig. 3

To set a tilt angle for angle cuts and bevels, loosen the shoe adjustment lever and pull the base forward slightly until the retaining lugs are no longer engaged. Tilt the shoe to the required preset angle (15°, 30°, or 45°) as read on the tilt angle scale. Push back the shoe into the retaining lugs and tighten the shoe adjustment lever. If angles other than the presets are required, set the desired angle and tighten the shoe adjustment lever without engaging the retaining lugs.

Installing saw blades

Use only T-Shank jig saw blades.

1.Unplug the tool.

2.Firmly rotate the Quik-Lok tension lever as far as it will go and hold it in position (Fig. 1).

3.Fit the saw blade into the groove in the support roller and push it firmly into the plunger as far as it will go; the lug of the saw blade must be in the plunger.

4.Release the Quik-Lok tension lever and the saw blade is automati- cally held.

5.Check that the saw blade is held firmly; the slot in the plunger will be at an angle to the blade (Fig. 2).

If very exact angles are needed it is recommended that a test cut and subsequent adjustment be made.

Using the shoe cover

The shoe cover is used to prevent marring and scratching of the workpiece surface. To attach the shoe cover, hook the front of the cover over the steel shoe. Next, snap the rear of the shoe cover to the steel shoe. Be sure both sides are snapped in place.

When the shoe cover is not needed, remove it by pulling the tabs on rear of the shoe cover outward from the steel shoe. Unhook the front of the shoe cover and remove.

Using the anti-splinter device (Fig.4)

The anti-splinter device helps stablize the workpiece and reduces workpiece splinter.

To use, slide the anti-splinter device onto the shoe or shoe cover (Fig. 4). Make sure the anti-splinter device is installed flush with the bottom of the shoe and shoe cover, as applicable.
