To slow and stop the jig saw, release the trigger.
As the trigger is pressed in, the strokes‑per‑minute continue
to increase, but up to the maximum speed of the tool. As the

CAUTION: Move the on/off switch
before inserting the battery pack.
To start the DCS335 jig saw, move the on/off switch
ON position. To turn the jig saw off, move the on/off switch to
the OFF position.
Worklights
The worklights are located on either side of the blade. To turn on
the worklight, depress the trigger (DCS334) or switch on the on/
off switch (DCS335). Worklights will remain on 20 seconds after
the tool is turned on, or as long as your cut lasts.
nOTE: The worklights are for lighting the immediate work
surface and are not intended to be used as a flashlight.
Cutting
WARNING: The jig saw should not be operated with the
shoe removed or serious personal injury may result.
Pocket Cutting (Fig. M)
A pocket cut is an easy method of making an inside cut. The
saw can be inserted directly into a panel or board without
first drilling a lead or pilot hole. In pocket cutting, measure the
surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the saw
forward until the front end of the shoe sits firmly on the work
surface and the blade clears the work through its full stroke.
Switch the tool on and allow it to attain maximum speed. Grip
the saw firmly and lower the back edge of tool slowly until the
blade reaches its complete depth. Hold the shoe flat against the
wood and begin cutting. Do not remove blade from cut while it
is still moving. Blade must come to a complete stop.
Flush Cutting (Fig. N)
A flush cut is necessary when finishing off cuts up to a wall or
an obstacle, such as back‑splash. One of the easiest ways to
accomplish the flush cut is to use a flush cutting blade (DT2074).
The flush cutting blade provides the reach necessary to cut
right up to the front edge of the jig saw shoe. Remove the
14
1
to the OFF position
1
to the
anti‑splinter insert and return the shoe to the 0 ° positive stop
position before installing and using the flush cutting blade. For
the best cut quality the flush cutting blade should be used in
the 0 or 1 orbital position. The flush cutting blade should not be
used to start the cut because the flush cutting blade prevents
the shoe from being supported by the work surface. Use wood
cutting practices explained below.
Wood Cutting
Support the workpiece adequately at all times. Use the higher
speed setting for cutting wood. Do not attempt to turn the tool
on when blade is against material to be cut. This could stall the
motor. Place the front of shoe on the material to be cut and hold
the jig saw shoe firmly against the wood while cutting. Don't
force the tool; let the blade cut at its own speed. When the cut
is complete, turn the jig saw off. Let blade come to a complete
stop and then lay the saw aside before loosening the work.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regular cleaning.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
C
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
D
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing this procedure.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non‑metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into a liquid.
