High orbital stroke mode

If you would like to produce a cleaner finish, set the orbital stroke mode to a lower level.

Anti-splintering plate

Use the anti-splintering plate to re- ducing splinter while cutting wood.

Installation

1.Set the base at 90 degree position.

2.Place the anti-splintering plate on the underside of the base, and gently push it to be installed.

Install so that the beveled edge of the slot in the middle of the anti-splinter- ing plate is facing toward the jigsaw.

Dust adapter for vacuum cleaner (EY9H009E) (Available as an accessory, not included)

You can use a vacuum cleaner to col- lect cutting dust while cutting.

Installation

1.Attach the hook of the dust collec-tion adapter to the front of the base.

2.Snap the rear to install it.

3.Attach the hose of the vacuum cleaner.

It is recommended to use a dust adapt- er for reducing the risk of damaging the surface of the object being cut.
