SM 1619X00459 1-05
BLADE STORAGE COMPARTMENT
Your Jigsaw is equipped with a blade storage
compartment in the dust port of your saw
(Fig. 4) . To remove, pull compartment out of
dust port in direction of arrow.
Always make sure the blade storage
compartment is securely in the dust port to
prevent blades from falling out.

DUST EXTRACTION

Your jigsaw is equipped with a dust port for
dust and chip extraction.
To use this feature, remove blade storage
compartment and move dust blower switch to
the "OFF" position "O" (Fig. 5).
Attach vacuum hose (optional accessory) to the
dust port, and connect opposite end of the hose
to a shop vacuum cleaner.
BUILT IN WORK LIGHT
Your tool is also equipped with a light that
turns on automatically when the switch is
activated, for better visibility when cutting
(Fig. 6).
ORBITAL ACTION
The orbital action lever (Fig. 7) will regulate
the orbital action from "Smooth" position for
normal up and down motion to maximum
orbital action for faster cutting in softer
materials.

ALL MATERIALS
Orbital cut control is not observable when
jigsaw is free running. Jigsaw must be cutting
for orbital action to occur. The speed of cut is
much more apparent in thicker materials such
as 2 by lumber.
