OPERATION
GENERAL CUTTING
See Figure 7, page 9.
Rest the front of the jig saw base on the workpiece and align
cutting edge of the blade with the line on your workpiece.
Start the power base and move it forward on the work
surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the jig saw
steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade
cutting. Do not force the tool. Forcing the tool may overheat
the motor and break saw blades. Broken and dull (or worn)
saw blades must be replaced with new saw blades.
STRAIGHT CUTTING
See Figure 8, page 9.
A straight cut can be made by clamping a piece of wood or
straightedge to the workpiece and guiding the edge of the
jig saw against it. Make the cut from one direction only; don't
cut halfway and complete the cut from the opposite end.
SCROLL CUTTING
See Figure 9, page 9.
NOTE: Do not use the anti-splintering insert when making
scroll cuts, plunge cuts, and when cutting metal.
Scroll cuts can be made with the jig saw by guiding the direction
of the cut with applied pressure on the handle as shown.
PLUNGE CUTTING
See Figures 10 - 12, page 9.
Depending on the thickness of the material being cut, you
may need to drill a pilot hole before making plunge cuts.

WARNING:
To avoid loss of control, broken blades, or damage
to the material being cut, always use extreme
caution when making plunge cuts. We do not
recommend plunge cutting on materials other
than wood.
To make plunge cuts using pilot holes:
Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.
Drill a pilot hole inside the area marked by the line of
cut. The pilot hole should be large enough to slide the
blade through the material.
Slowly lower the blade through the pilot hole in the
workpiece until the base contacts the work piece. Fully
squeeze the switch trigger to start the saw.
Do not move the base forward until the blade is entirely
through the workpiece and the base is in complete
contact with the workpiece.
Move the saw forward to complete the opening.
To make plunge cuts without using pilot holes:
Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece.
Tilt the jig saw forward so that it rests on the front edge
of the base and blade will not come in contact with the
workpiece when the tool is turned on.
Make sure the blade is aligned with the area to be cut.
Fully squeeze the switch trigger and slowly lower the
blade into the workpiece until the blade cuts through
the workpiece.
Continue lowering the blade into the workpiece until the
base rests flat on the work surface, then move the jig
saw forward to complete the opening.
Use only the 7 teeth per inch blade for this type of cut.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
