The straight cut can be also made by using the
parallel guide supplied.
PLUNGE CUTTING (FIG. 10)
Plunge cutting is useful and time-saving for
making rough openings in soft materials. It
makes it unnecessary to drill a hole for an inside
or pocket cut.
1. Draw lines for the
opening you want
to cut.
2. Hold saw firmly
and tilt it forward
so the toe of the
saw foot rests on
the workpiece.
3. Make sure that
the blade is well
clear of the workpiece.
4. Start the saw and then gradually lower the
blade into the workpiece, firmly holding the toe
of the saw base to prevent side wobble.
5. Keeping the toe of the foot on the workpiece,
slowly pivot the saw downward like a hinge un-
til the blade cuts through and the base rests flat
on the workpiece.
6. Begin sawing in the usual manner along the
cut line.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: When servicing, use only identi-
cal replacement parts. Use of any other parts
may create a hazard or cause product damage.
CAUTION: Before performing maintenance or
cleaning, remove the battery pack from the jig
saw.
1. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with
compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles
when cleaning tools with compressed air.
2. Use a small brush or the air discharge of
a small vacuum cleaner brush to clear dust or
debris from the air vents on the motor housing.
3. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
4. Lubricate the roller guide from time to time
with a drop of oil. It will extend the life of the
roller.
