Bevel cutting
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before tilting the base.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).
► Fig.17
To tilt the base, loosen the bolt on the bottom of the base
with the hex wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is
positioned in the center of the bevel slot in the base.
► Fig.18: 1. Hex wrench 2. Bolt 3. Base
Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained. The
V-notch of the gear housing indicates the bevel angle by
graduations. Then tighten the bolt firmly to secure the base.

Front flush cuts
Loosen the bolt on the bottom of the base with the
hex wrench and slide the base all the way back. Then
tighten the bolt to secure the base.

Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods:
"Boring a starting hole" or "Plunge cutting".
Boring a starting hole
For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge,
pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter.
Insert the jig saw blade into this hole to start your cut.
► Fig.21
Plunge cutting
You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut
if you carefully do as follows.
► Fig.22
1.
Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the jig
saw blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface.
2. Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of
the base will not move when you switch on the tool and
gently lower the back end of the tool slowly.
3. As the jig saw blade pierces the workpiece, slowly
lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface.
4.
Complete the cut in the normal manner.
Finishing edges
To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the
jig saw blade lightly along the cut edges.
► Fig.23
Metal cutting
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal.
Failure to do so will cause significant jig saw blade wear. The under-
side of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a coolant.
Rip fence
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before installing or removing accessories.
Straight cuts
When repeatedly cutting widths of 160 mm or less, use
of the rip fence will assure fast, clean, straight cuts.
► Fig.24: 1. Rip fence (Guide rule)
To install, insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole
on the side of the base with the fence guide facing
down. Slide the rip fence to the desired cutting width
position, then tighten the bolt to secure it.

Circular cuts
When cutting circles or arcs of 170 mm or less in radius,
install the rip fence as follows.
► Fig.26: 1. Rip fence (Guide rule)
CAUTION:
Do not touch the tip of the circular
guide pin. The sharp tip of the circular guide pin can
cause injury.
1. Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the
side of the base with the fence guide facing up.
2. Insert the circular guide pin through either of the
two holes on the fence guide. Screw the threaded knob
onto the circular guide pin to secure the circular guide
pin.

3. Slide the rip fence to the desired cutting radius,
and tighten the bolt to secure it in place.
NOTE: Always use jig saw blades No. B-17, B-18,
B-26 or B-27 when cutting circles or arcs.
Guide rail adapter set
Optional accessory
When cutting parallel and uniform width or cutting
straight, the use of the guide rail and the guide rail
adapter will assure the production of fast and clean
cuts. To install the guide rail adapter, insert the rule
bar into the square hole of the base as far as it goes.
Secure the bolt with the hex wrench securely.
► Fig.28: 1. Hex wrench 2. Rule bar 3. Bolt
Insert the rule bar into the square hole of the guide rail
adapter, and secure the screw firmly. Place the guide
rail adapter on the guide rail.

NOTICE:
Always use jig saw blades No. B-8, B-13,
B-16, B-17 or 58 when using the guide rail and the
guide rail adapter.
