Beveling the Shoe (Fig. E)
To Bevel the Shoe
1. Remove the dust extraction accessories if they are mounted
to the tool as the tool will not bevel if they are attached.
Refer to Dust Extraction section.
2. Unlock the shoe by pulling the shoe bevel lever
the side.
3. Slide the shoe
7
forward to release it from the 0° positive
stop position.
nOTE: The shoe can be beveled to the left or to the right
at a maximum of 45° in either direction. There are visible
detents at 15° and 30°.
4. Once the desired bevel angle is achieved, lock the shoe in
position:
a. For 0° and 45° bevel angles, slide the shoe back and lock
the shoe by moving the bevel lever back under the body
of the jig saw.
b. For all angles between 0° and 45°, lock with bevel
lever only.
Cutting Action—Orbital or Straight (Fig. F)
This jig saw is equipped with four cutting actions, three orbital
and one straight. Orbital action has a more aggressive blade
motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials like wood
or plastic. Orbital action provides a faster cut, but with a less
smooth cut across the material. In orbital action, the blade
moves forward during the cutting stroke in addition to the up
and down motion.
nOTE: Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital action.
To adjust the cutting action, move the orbital action lever
between the four cutting positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3. Position 0 is
straight cutting. Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting. The
aggressiveness of the cut increase as the lever is adjusted from
one to three, with three being the most aggressive cut.
Dust Blower (Fig. G)

helps clear the cutting area of debris

created from the blade.
Dust Extraction (Fig. A, H)
WARNING: Dust can be hazardous to health. Always
work with a dust extractor. Always observe the national
regulations for work with dust emitting tools.
The dust extraction chute in combination with the dust
extraction shroud helps extract dust from the workpiece surface,
when connected to a suitable dust extraction system.
nOTE: The tool will not bevel if the dust extraction accessories
are attached to the tool.
1. Place the dust extraction shroud
guard
5
(Fig. A) until it clicks into place.
2. Slide the dust chute
from the back of the tool until
16
it snaps into the dust shroud. Be sure the adapter end is
facing up.
3. To connect a vacuum to the dust chute

surfaces that scratch easily, such as laminate, veneer or paint.
To attach anti-scratch shoe cover

into the front of the anti-scratch shoe cover and lower
the jig saw. The anti-scratch shoe cover will click securely onto
the rear of the shoe.
To remove anti-scratch shoe cover, grasp the anti-scratch shoe
cover from the bottom; holding onto the two rear tabs
remove the anti-scratch shoe cover.
Anti-Splinter Insert (Fig. I, J)
nOTE: Do not use the anti-splinter insert with the flush
cutting blade DT2074.
The anti-splinter insert
20
should be used when trying to
minimize tear-out, especially when cutting veneer, laminate, or
finished surfaces, such as paint. The anti-splinter insert should
be installed into the anti-scratch shoe cover
cover is not used, install anti-splinter insert into shoe
Setting the Electronic Sawing Speed
(Fig. A, K)
DCS334
To preset the sawing speed, turn the speed control dial
desired level. The higher the number on the speed control dial,
the higher the sawing speed. The sawing speed varies with the
pressure exerted on the variable speed trigger
exceed the speed that is set by the speed control dial
required setting depends on the thickness and kind of material.
nOTE: Use high speeds for sawing soft materials such as wood.
DCS335
The speed control dial
3
can be used for advance setting of the
required range of speed.
1. Turn the electronic control dial to the required level. The
DCS335 will turn on at that speed when the on/off switch is
moved to the ON position. The required setting depends on
the thickness and kind of material.
nOTE: Use high speeds for sawing soft materials such as wood.
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.
Prior to Operation
Make sure your battery pack is (fully) charged.
