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 by following these
instructions. 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
16
shoe. Remove 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.
Metal Cutting
In cutting thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood
to the bottom of sheet metal; this will insure a clean cut
without the risk of vibration or tearing of metal. Always
remember to use a finer blade for ferrous metals (for those
that have a high iron content); and use a coarser blade for
non-ferrous metals (those that do not have an iron content).
