GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING

Re a d all inst ru cti ons . Fa ilu re to fo llo w al l
instr uctio ns listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power
tool'' in all of the warnings listed below refers to
your main s oper ated (corde d) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1) WORK AREA

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and

dark areas invite accidents.

b) D o not op er at e p ow er tools in ex pl os iv e

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust.

Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Ke ep c hil dr en a nd b yst an d er s aw ay w hil e

operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you

to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
pl ug s wit h e ar th ed( gr ou nde d) powe r too ls .

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earth ed or grounded

surfaces suc h as pipe s, radiators, ran ges and
refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do no t ex po s e p ow er too ls to rai n or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

d) Do no t abuse the co rd.

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord awa y from heat, oil, sharp edg es or mov ing
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk
of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdo ors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a

cor d su itable for outdoor use reduces the ri sk of
electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Sta y al ert, watch what you are do ing and use

com mon se nse wh en oper ating a power to ol.

Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
th e in flu en ce of drug s, a lc oho l or me dic ati on .
A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
sh oes, hard hat , or hear in g pro tection used fo r
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Avoid accidental starting.

Ensure the switch is in
the off position before plugging in. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or pluggin g in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adj us ting key or wren ch be fo re

turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left
atta ched to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.

e) Do not ove rr eac h. Kee p prop er f oo tin g and

balance at all times. This enables better control of

the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dr es s pro pe rl y. Do no t wea r loo se cl ot hi ng or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and off. Any power tool that can not be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow perso ns unfa miliar wi th the
power tool or these instruction s to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

bindling of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
ot he r condit io n tha t may affect the powe r too ls
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

f) Keep cut ti ng tools sh ar p and cle an . Pr op er ly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Note: If you have difficulty changing from one gear

range to the other, turn the chuck by hand until the
gears engage.

CAUTION

To prevent gear damage, always allow chuck to
come to a complete stop before changing the
speed or the direction of rotation.

KEYLESS CHUCK (Fig. 7)

Your drill has a keyless chuck. As the name implies,
you can hand tighten or release drill bits in the
chuck jaws. Rotate the chuck with your hand. Rotate the
chuck body with your other hand. The arrows on the
chuck indicate which direction to rotate the chuck body in
order to LOCK (tighten) or UNLOCK (release) the drill bit.

WARNING

Do not hold chuck body with one hand and use
power of the drill to tighten chuck jaws on drill bit.

OPERATION

GENERAL CUTTING

See Figure 4.

Rest the front of the saw base on the workpiece and align
cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece.
Start your saw and move it forward on the work surface.
Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only
enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.

DO NOT FORCE YOUR SAW

Forcing your saw may overheat the motor and
break saw blades.

ORBITAL MOTION

See Figure 4.

The blade of your saw cuts in orbital motion.This feature is
adjustable and provides faster more efficient cutting.
With orbital motion the blade cuts through your work in the
upstroke but does not drag across your work in the
downstroke. The higher settings should be used when fast
cutting in soft material is desired. The lower settings should
be used when cutting materials with more resistance.

STRAIGHT CUT

See Figure 4.

A straight cut can be made by clamping a piece of wood or
straightedge to the workpiece and guiding the edge of your
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 5.

Scroll cuts can be made with your jigsaw by guiding the
direction of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as
shown in Figure 5.

WARNING

Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in
broken blades or damage to the material being cut.

OPERATION

BEVEL CUTTING

See Figures 6 and 7.

Bevel cutting angles may be adjusted from 0° to 45° right
or left. Angles for cuts from 0° to 45° in 15° increments are
marked on a scale on both the left and right side of the base.
Notches on the rear of the base provide positive stops at each
of the above mentioned 15° increments. A protractor is
recommended when accurate cuts are required.

■

Using the 3 mm hex key provided, loosen the base pivot
screws until the base can be moved.

■

Slide base forward until base pivot screws can move
freely in slots in base.

See Figure 6.

■

Align the mark, on the base, of the desired angle with
the edge of the motor housing.

■

Once the desired angle is reached, slide base back until
tab on motor housing aligns with the appropriate notch
on rear of base.

See Figure 7.

NOTE: When making a set-up for accurate cuts with a
protractor, or for angles other than the preset 15°
increments, the positive stop notches on the rear of the
base are not used.

■

Tighten the base pivot screws securely.
NOTE: The wide slot in the base must be used when

making bevel cuts, scroll cuts, plunge cuts, and when
cutting metal.

PLUNGE CUTTING

See Figure 8.

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 A PLUNGE CUT

■

Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.

■

Set the cutting angle at 0°.

■

Tilt your 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 saw is turned on.

■

Make sure the blade is inside the area to be cut.

■

Using high speed, start your saw and slowly lower the
blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts through
the wood.

See Figure 8.

■

Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the
base rests flat on the work surface, then move the saw
forward to complete the opening.

SPLINTER-FREE CUTTING

See Figure 9.

The base of your jig saw has a narrow slot to permit splinter­free cutting. It is especially useful when cutting plywood. This
feature should only be used when making straight cuts or
circle cuts.It is not for bevel cutting or plunge cutting.

NOTE: The non-orbital setting also helps reduce splintering
when cutting plywood.

HOW TO POSITION BASE IN THE SPLINTER-FREE
CUTTING POSITION

■

Remove battery pack.

■

Using the 3 mm hex key provided, loosen base pivot
screws and slide base forward.

See Figure 9.

■ Always set the cutting angle at 0° for splinter-free

cutting.To set cutting angle at 0°, align the 0°mark on
the scale with the edge of the motor housing.

NOTE: When setting angle at 0° for splinter-free
cutting, the positive stop notches on the rear of the
base are not used.

■

Tighten base pivot screws securely.

■

Remove hex key and return it to storage compartment.

■

Replace battery pack.OPERATION

EDGE GUIDE

See Figure 10.

An edge guide is available for use with your saw. It can be
used for making crosscuts and rip cuts.

Remove battery pack.Insert the arm through the two slots in
the base of your saw as shown in Figure 10. Adjust edge
guide to the desired width and lock in place with the edge
guide screw.
