FEATURES

KNOW YOUR JIG SAW

See Figure 1.

The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

ANTI-SPLINTERING INSERT

The anti-splintering insert prevents splintering of the workpiece material for a smoother cut. It is especially helpful when cutting plywood.

BLADE GUARD

The wire blade guard helps protect the operator from accidental contact with the saw blade.

CHIP SHIELD

A clear plastic chip shield on the front of your saw helps protect against flying dust and chips.

NO-MAR PLATE

The no-mar plate has a smooth finish and can be snapped on over the metal shoe of the jig saw. This makes it easier to glide the tool along a delicate work surface without marring it.

ORBITAL ADJUSTMENT KNOB

The orbital adjustment knob allows you to select five orbital settings to cut materials of varying thickness and density.

RECESSED BLADE-SUPPORT ROLLER

The recessed blade-support roller ensures accurate cutting. Its hard-wearing die-cast aluminum casing helps protect against overheating.

TOOL-FREE BLADE CLAMP

The tool-free blade clamp does not require the use of a blade wrench when installing or removing the blade.

TOOL-FREE SHOE ADJUSTMENT

With the tool-free shoe adjustment lever, you can make quick changes to the bevel setting. The shoe can be angled 45˚ left or right for bevel cutting, with positive stops in 15˚ increments.

TRIGGER LOCK

The trigger lock prevents the saw from accidental starting. The switch trigger cannot be depressed until the trigger lock is depressed.
