To reduce the risk of injury, wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields.
Starting and stopping the tool
1.
To start the tool, push the On/Off switch forward until "I" is visible.
2.
To stop the tool, push the On/Off switch backwards until "0" is visible.
Adjusting the orbital action
The amount of orbital action may be adjusted with the selector lever. In
general, a large orbital action (III) should be used with soft materials and
a small orbital action (I) should be used with hard materials. When a
smooth cut is required, no orbit (0) should be used. Recommended orbit
settings for different material compositions are shown below. The opti-
mum orbital action should be determined by the user for their specific
cutting requirements.
Special Cutting Techniques
1.
Straight cuts – To obtain a perfectly straight cut, clamp a strip of
wood as a guide along the workpiece or use the parallel guide (ac-
cessory).
2.
Cutting at a bevel angle – Adjust the shoe to the correct angle (See
"Adjusting the Shoe").
3.
Cutting close to obstacles – Move the shoe backward to provide
greater clearance.
4.
Cutting Sheet Metal – Sheet metal may vibrate when being cut. To
minimize this vibration, clamp the workpiece to a wood base.
Plunge Cutting (Fig. 5)
The MILWAUKEE 12 Volt Jig Saw is well suited to making plunge cuts
into soft materials without a pre-drilled hole. Harder materials require a
starter hole with a diameter slightly wider than the blade.
1.
To make a plunge cut, move the shoe all the way back.
2.
Set the orbital action selector to 0.
3.
Make sure nothing below the intended cut area will be damaged.
4.
Without switching the tool on, place the front edge of the shoe solidly
on workpiece (a).
5.
Align the blade with the intended cut line, keeping it above the
workpiece.
6.
Using the front edge of the shoe as a pivot, turn the tool on and
gradually lower the blade into the workpiece (b).
7.
When the shoe is firmly against the workpiece, begin the cut (c).
WARNING!
OPERATION
NOTE: Orbital action may be adjusted whether the tool is running or not.
General cutting
1.
Set the stroke and orbital action according to the material to be cut.
2.
Position the tool with the front part of the shoe on workpiece and turn
on tool.
3.
Hold the machine firmly against the workpiece and guide it along the
desired cutting line. Do not feed into the work too hard, light pressure
on the saw blade will achieve the optimum cutting speed.
