BLADE STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Your Jigsaw is equipped with a blade storage compartment in the dust port of your saw (Fig. 5) . To remove, pull compartment out of dust port in direction of arrow.
Always make sure the blade storage compartment is securely in the dust port to prevent blades from falling out.

DUST EXTRACTION
Your jigsaw is equipped with a dust port for dust and chip extraction.
To use this feature, remove blade storage compartment and move dust blower switch to the “OFF” position “O” (Fig. 6).
Attach vacuum hose (optional accessory) to the dust port, and connect opposite end of the hose to a shop vacuum cleaner.

Your tool is also equipped with a light that turns on automatically when the switch is activated, for better visibility when cutting (Fig. 7).
ORBITAL ACTION MODELS Orbital Action models, have a lever (Fig. 8) that will regulate the orbital action from "Smooth" position for normal up and down motion to maximum orbital action for faster cutting in softer materials.

LEVER
To increase orbital action, turn the lever to a higher setting. To decrease orbital action turn ever to a lower setting. When minimal splintering is desired we recommend using "Smooth" position.
SMOOTH | LOW / MED | FAST |
MILD STEEL / SOFT METALS | METAL PLASTIC | SOFT WOODS |
ALL MATERIALS | HARD WOODS | PLYWOOD |
ATTENTION: In order to achieve orbital action, the blade must be facing STRAIGHT FORWARD and the back of the blade must rest in the groove of the guide roller, and the
foot must be all the way in the forward position. To adjust foot, lift foot adjustment lever and flip lever completely over, then push foot forward as far as possible and lower foot adjustment lever to maintain adjustment (Fig. 9).
Orbital cut control is not observable when jigsaw is free running. Jigsaw must be cutting for orbital action to occur. The speed of cut is much more apparent in thicker materials such as 2 by lumber.
