SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING – To reduce the risk of injury, user
must read and understand this operator’s manual
as well as the operator’s manual for the battery
pack, charger, and power base before use. Ensure
compatibility and proper fit of head and power base
before using.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possible serious injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to modify this product or create
accessories not recommended for use with this
product. Any such alteration or modification is misuse
and could result in a hazardous condition leading to
possible serious personal injury.
Do not attempt to use the handle without an accessory
head installed. Doing so could result in serious personal
injury.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this tool. If you
loan someone this tool, loan them these instructions also
to prevent misuse of the product and possible injury.
NOTE: SEE YOUR POWER BASE OPERATOR’S MANUAL

KNOW YOUR JOBMAX™ JIG SAW HEAD
See Figure 1, page 10.
The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the product 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.
BI-DIRECTIONAL LOCK-OFF LEVER
The bi-directional lock-off lever reduces the possibility of
accidental starting.
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.
BLADE GUARD
The blade guard helps protect the operator from accidental
contact with the saw blade.
TOOL-FREE BLADE CLAMP
There is a convenient lever on the blade clamp for changing
saw blades without the need for separate tools.
BLOWER PORT
The blower port directs debris away from the cut line to
improve line of sight.

transported.
ANTI-SPLINTERING INSERT
See Figures 4 - 5, page 10.
The anti-splintering insert is especially useful when cutting
plywood to reduce splintering. It should only be used when
making straight cuts or circle cuts. It is not for plunge
cutting.
To attach or remove the anti-splintering insert:
Remove the battery pack from the power base or
disconnect the power base from the power supply.
Remove the jig saw head from the power base.
Depress the tab on the no-mar plate and remove it from

with the notch facing the blade. The grooves on the antisplintering insert should engage the tabs on the base.
Replace the no-mar plate.
To remove: Grab the anti-splintering insert and slide it
away from the jig saw base. Replace the no-mar plate.
INSTALLING AND REMOVING BLADES
See Figure 6, page 10.
NOTE: The jig saw is designed to use T-shank and U-shank
blades only.
To install blades:
Remove the battery pack from the power base or
disconnect the power base from the power supply.
If attached, remove the anti-splintering insert.
Lift the tool-free blade clamp until it stops.
Holding the tool-free blade clamp up, insert the saw
blade as far as possible into the slot in the blade clamp
body and roller guide.
Check to make sure the back of the saw blade is
centered in the groove of the roller guide and blade
clamp body.
Release the tool-free blade clamp lever. Make sure the
blade is securely in place.
NOTE: Do not use the tool if the blade is not installed
correctly.
Reinstall the battery pack or connect the power base to
the power supply.
To remove blades:
Remove the battery pack from the power base or
disconnect the power base from the power supply.
If attached, remove the anti-splintering insert.
Lift the tool-free blade clamp until it stops.
Holding the tool-free blade clamp up, remove the saw
blade.
GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 7, page 11.
Rest the front of the jig saw base on the workpiece and align
cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece.
Start the power base and move it forward on the work
surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the jig saw
steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade
cutting. Do not force the tool. Forcing the tool may overheat
the motor and break saw blades. Broken and dull (or worn)
saw blades must be replaced with new saw blades.
STRAIGHT CUTTING
See Figure 8, page 11.
A straight cut can be made by clamping a piece of wood or
straightedge to the workpiece and guiding the edge of the
jig saw against it. Make the cut from one direction only; don’t
cut halfway and complete the cut from the opposite end.
SCROLL CUTTING
See Figure 9, page 11.
NOTE: Do not use the anti-splintering insert when making
scroll cuts, plunge cuts, and when cutting metal.
Scroll cuts can be made with the jig saw by guiding the direction
of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as shown.
WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious personal injury, always remove the battery
pack from the product or disconnect it from the
power supply when assembling parts.
7 - English
OPERATION
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figure 10 - 12, page 11.
Depending on the thickness of the material being cut, you
may need to drill a pilot hole before making plunge cuts.
WARNING:
To avoid loss of control, broken blades, or damage
to the material being cut, always use extreme
caution when making plunge cuts. We do not
recommend plunge cutting on materials other
than wood.
To make plunge cuts using pilot holes:
Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.
Drill a pilot hole inside the area marked by the line of
cut. The pilot hole should be large enough to slide the
blade through the material.
Slowly lower the blade through the pilot hole in the
workpiece until the base contacts the work piece. Fully
squeeze the switch trigger to start the saw.
MAINTENANCE
Do not move the base forward until the blade is entirely
through the workpiece and the base is in complete
contact with the workpiece.
Move the saw forward to complete the opening.
To make plunge cuts without using pilot holes:
Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.
Tilt the jig saw forward so that it rests on the front edge
of the base and blade will not come in contact with the
workpiece when the tool is turned on.
Make sure the blade is aligned with the area to be cut.
Fully squeeze the switch trigger and slowly lower the
blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts through
the workpiece.
Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the
base rests flat on the work surface, then move the jig
saw forward to complete the opening.
Use only the 7 teeth per inch blade for this type of cut.
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical RIDGID®
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the
battery pack from the power base or disconnect
the power base from the power supply when
cleaning or performing any maintenance.
FIGURES (ILLUSTRATIONS) START ON PAGE 10
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
