1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS and
warnings on the battery and charger before charging the battery.
2. CHARGE ONLY USING THE SUPPLIED CHARGER AND BATTERY. Do not use with other batter-
ies, chargers or cordless equipment.
3. DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY OR
CHARGER TO WET OR RAINY
CONDITIONS. Moisture greatly
increases the risk of a shock hazard.
4. DO NOT TOUCH BATTERY
POLES with any conductive materi-
als. Touching any two poles at the
same time causes a short condition
and can cause sparks, electrical
shock or fire.
5. DO NOT STORE BATTERY WITH
CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS.
Storing the battery in a box of
screws or nails can cause shorting
across the battery poles.
6. DO NOT THROW BATTERY IN
FIRE. Combustion of some of the

Always select the correct saw blade for the
material being cut. The resulting cut will be
cleaner and more accurate, and there will
be less stress on the machine. This Jig
Saw can be used to cut wood, metal or
plastics depending upon the type of blade
selected. The blades used must be of the
universal style mount. Grizzly offers a variety of blade styles in the current catalog.
A few points to remember in making your
blade selection:
1. The overall blade length will affect
the thickness of material which
can be cut. Most jig saw blades
range in length from 3" to 5".
2. The width of the blade (measured
from the tip of one of the teeth to
the back edge) affects how tight of
a curve can be cut. A 3⁄16" wide
blade will cut a tighter circle than a
3⁄8" wide one.
BLADE SELECTION
Figure 2. Variety of wood and metal cutting blades.
3. The number of teeth per inch
(T.P.I.) affects the smoothness
and speed of the cut. A wood cutting blade for general purpose will
usually have 6-10 T.P.I., a metal
cutting will have 12-20 T.P.I.
Another factor is the tooth style
and how the teeth are set (the
amount the tooth is bent away
from the plane of the blade). Most
blade manufacturer’s provide
guidelines on their packaging for
the types of materials and speeds
to use for a particular blade style.
Review their guidelines carefully
before choosing a blade for a particular project.
Figure 2 shows the range of blades for
wood and metal cutting available from
Grizzly.

OPERATIONS
Changing Blades
Make sure the Orbit Selector switch is in
Position III. Take the blade and turn it so the
teeth are facing the side of the footplate,
and insert the mount end into the plunger.
See Figure 3. Twist the blade 90˚ so the
teeth are now pointing forward, then pull it
down slightly. Make certain the blade is
positioned in the groove of the roller which
backs up the blade.
Insert the Allen®wrench included with this
Jig Saw into the blade locking screw.
Tighten the screw while making sure the
blade stays in the roller groove. To remove
the blade, reverse the process described
above.
Turn the switch off and remove the
battery from the Jig Saw before
attempting blade installation or any
adjustments. Serious injury may
occur if the unit should be accidentally started while installing the blade.
Fig 4. Checking blade squareness.
Footplate Adjustment
The footplate can be adjusted for cutting at
90˚ to the surface as well as any angle
from ±45˚. To be certain the footplate is
cutting at precisely 90˚, it is useful to check
the blade squareness to the footplate with
the use of a small machinist’s square (See
Figure 4).
To adjust to another angle, use the supplied Allen®Wrench to loosen the bolt
holding the footplate. Slide the plate forward slightly to disengage it from the
notch, and tilt it to the desired angle. At the
45˚ points there are notches which position the plate. By pushing the plate back
when near 45˚, the notches will lock the
plate in position. If an angle between 90˚
and 45˚ is desired, set the angle and leave
the plate in the forward position, and tighten the bolt.

There are four settings for orbital action of
the blade, controlled by a lever switch. The
effect of the settings is shown in Figure 5
below. When set on Position III the blade
oscillates forward in the stroke, which is
helpful when cutting wood or soft materials. The Position 0 setting eliminates all
forward oscillation and the blade strokes
ORBITAL ACTION
straight up and down. This is good for
materials with a strong cutting resistance
such as metals and where a very clean cut
edge is desired.
Changes in the orbital movement can be
made with the motor turned on.

OPERATING TIPS AND MAINTENANCE
Disassembly and improper reassembly
of this device can result in electrical
shock danger. Always have this device
serviced by a qualified electrical repair
technician. Serious injury will result.
Operating Guides and Tips
Avoid overloading the jig saw. Do not
apply excessive pressure to the tool
while using. If the speed drops
abnormally, decrease pressure
immediately.
Ensure the safety of the workplace.
Clear the work area of all parts and
debris that may cause injury by flying
objects. Securely fix the object to be
worked on in a vise or otherwise
clamp to avoid injury. Do not attempt
to hold workpiece by hand.
Inspect the tool before use. Run the tool
free of the workpiece before using to
ensure all parts are running smoothly and there are no abnormal sounds
or sparks. If any defect is found,
have unit serviced.
Know your work site. Take care to make
sure the material being worked on is
not supporting another structure, or
that there are no obstructions.
Before cutting into walls, check for
wires, other electrical hazards, gas
lines or plumbing which may be hidden in the wall space.
Maintenance
Your cordless power tool will give you hundreds of hours of operation time before
ever needing service. The electrical components of this cordless saw are not user
serviceable. Repair should always be
undertaken by a qualified electrical repair
technician.
Keep the saw free from dirt and grease.
Always store it in a dry place, preferably in
the case that is supplied.
The battery will require periodic recharging, and eventually replacement after it has
exceeded its recharge life (approximately
800-1000 recharge cycles). You will notice
extended charging times or shortened
operation time as the battery experiences
more cycles. Battery must be recycled or
disposed or properly. Refer to the Grizzly
catalog for replacement batteries.
