ORBITAL MOTION
See Figure 7, page 11.
Orbital motion provides faster, more efficient cutting. The
blade cuts through your work in the upstroke but does not
drag across your work in the downstroke.

OPTIONAL EDGE GUIDE
(NOT INcLUDED)
See Figure 8, page 11.
An optional edge guide may be purchased separately. It can
be used for making crosscuts and rip cuts.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Insert the edge guide through the two slots in the base
of the saw.
 Adjust to the desired width and lock in place with the
edge guide screw.
 Replace the battery pack.
ScROLL cUTTING
See Figure 9, page 11.
Scroll cuts can be made with the jig saw by guiding the direc-
tion of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as shown.
NOTE: Using blades specifically designed for scroll cutting will
reduce stress on the saw and produce better cutting results.
WARNING:
Excessive side pressure to the blade could result in
broken blades or damage to the material being cut.
Broken blades could result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
Choose from four orbital adjustment positions for fine to
aggressive cutting. 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.
