• KEEP HANDS AWAY from cutting area. Never reach underneath the material for any reason.
• KEEP BLADES SHARP. Dull blades may cause the saw to swerve or stall under pressure.
CAUTION: Some wood contains preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic.
When cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimize skin contact.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate dust containing chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Use appropriate respiratory protection.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE
Motor
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. 120 volts, AC only means your tool may be
operated only with alternating current and never with direct current.
Voltage decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and overheating. All tools are factory tested; if
this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
ASSEMBLY/ADJUSTMENT SET-UP
Installing Blades
BEFORE INSTALLING BLADES, TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL.
Your jig saw uses the Quick Clamp™ blade changing system. To install a blade, lift the Quick Clamp™ lever
(Figure 1). Insert the saw blade shank fully into the blade clamp. Release the lever and the blade will be
clamped securely in place. The back of the blade should be almost touching the roller support guide. Ensure
the blade teeth are facing forward.
Roller Support Guide
The roller support guide on your jig saw improves its performance when cutting tough materials by adding
support to the blade. Adjust the support roller by loosening the screw on the bottom of the shoe, as shown in
Figure 2 and moving the roller so that it almost, but not quite, touches the blade. Tighten the screw securely to
lock the roller in place.
Switch
Your jig saw has a variable speed switch. To turn the saw on, squeeze the trigger switch, as shown in Figure
3. Hold the trigger switch in as you rotate the speed wheel to the desired setting.
The selected speed will be maintained, under reasonable loading, as you cut.
NOTE: The numbers on the speed wheel are for reference only. They do not represent any particular speed.
To turn the tool off, release the trigger switch.
The tool can be locked on for continuous operation at any speed by squeezing and holding the trigger switch
while you depress the lock-on button. With the lock-on button depressed, release the trigger switch and the
tool will continue to run. To release from lock position, squeeze and release the trigger switch once.
Although your saw will maintain speed and power, don't overload it as this could damage the motor. Use your
saw only for its intended purpose. If it should overheat, turn it on at its highest speed and run it without a load
until it cools down.

Bevel Adjustment
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL.
Raise or remove the dust shield before bevel cutting.
To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the rear screw on the bottom of the shoe, as shown in Figure 4. Pull the show
backward slightly and set the shoe to the desired angle. Angle adjustment is indicated on the raised portion of
either side of the shoe (Figure 5). It is also possible to push the shoe forward to set fixed positions of 0°, 15°,
30° or 45°. A protractor is recommended when very accurate cuts are required.
To reset the shoe for a square cut, loosen the rear screw and move the shoe until it is approximately 90° to the
blade. While applying slight forward pressure to the shoe, retighten the rear screw.
General Cutting
Be sure board is firmly secured. Hold jig saw by the handle and operate switch to turn the unit on. Don't
attempt to turn on the unit when blade is against material to be cut. This could stall the motor. Place front of
shoe on material to be cut and hold jig saw shoe down firmly against the work surface while cutting. Don't
force the tool; let the blade cut at its own speed. Whenever possible, clamp or support work close to the line of
cut; when the cut is completed, shut off power and lay the saw aside before loosening the work.
Scrolling
Your jig saw is equipped with a manual scrolling feature which permits the saw blade to completely rotate
without rotating the entire saw.
NOTE: Before scrolling, retract the roller support guide and ensure the shoe is in the forward position. Push
the scroller release button, as shown in Figure 6. The scrolling knob will pop up from the tool housing. Pull
the knob up to confirm it has fully released. Using one hand to guide the jig saw, turn the scroller knob to
guide the blade along the line of the cut. The blade will turn 360°.
The angle of the blade can be locked into one of four positions: 0°, 90°, 180° or 270°. To lock the blade in
any of the four positions, push the scroller release button, and push the scrolling knob down. When the button
is released, the blade is locked into position.
To reset, push the scroller release button. To return to straight-line (non-scrolling) cutting, press the scroller
release button and push the knob down. Readjust the roller support guide so it is almost touching the back of
the blade.
Dust Extraction/Vacuum Attachment
Your jig saw is equipped with a dust extraction system which greatly reduces clean up time. To extract dust:
•
Insert the end of the supplied vacuum adapter into the dust extraction opening at the rear of the saw.
Attach a standard vacuum cleaner hose.
•
Turn the dust blower switch (Figure 7) to the right.
•
Turn on the vacuum. Turn on the jig saw and begin cutting.
Cut Line Blower
Your jig saw is equipped with a cut line blower to keep the work area clear of dust as you saw. To use the
blower, turn the dust blower switch (Figure 7) to the left.
Metal & Plastic Cutting
In cutting thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood or plywood to the bottom of the metal sheet; this
will insure a clean cut without the danger of vibration or tearing of metal. Use a fine-tooth blade for ferrous
metals (for those that have an iron content); and use a coarser blade for nonferrous metals (those that do not
have an iron content).
Cutting thin metal will take longer than cutting relatively thick wood so do not be tempted to speed up the
process by forcing the saw. Spread a thin film of cutting lubricant along the cutting line, (any light weight oil)
and consult the blade chart in this manual to select the proper saw blade for your application.
Use low speeds for cutting metals, plastics and composition tile. When cutting laminated plastic, place the
finished side down and use a fine tooth hollow ground blade.
Pocket Cutting
•
Measure the surface to be cut and mark clearly with a pencil. Next tip the saw forward until the front
edge of the shoe sits firmly on the work surface, Figure 8.
•
Switch the tool on and allow it to attain maximum speed.
•
Grip the handle firmly and lower the back edge of tool until the blade cuts smoothly into material.
Always be sure blade reaches its complete depth before starting to cut. For pocket cutting the selector
should be kept in the straight cutting position.
Rip & Circle Cutting
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done with the rip fence and circle guide (available at
extra cost).
Use the screw supplied with the accessory. Position as shown in Figure 9 and thread the screw into the shoe to
clamp the fence securely.
Slide the rip fence under the screw from either side of the saw. Set the cross bar at desired distance from blade
and tighten screw. For ripping, the cross bar should be down as shown in Figure 9. For circle cutting, the cross
bar should be up, as shown in Figure 10.
When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole in cross bar is desired radius and
tighten screw (use hole which lines up best with saw blade). Place saw so that hole in cross bar is over center
of circle to be cut (make pocket cut, drill hole for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade into
position). When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail through hole in cross bar. Using rip fence as a
pivot arm, begin cutting circle.

à d'autres personnes.
AVERTISSEMENT :
Afin de réduire les risques d'incendie, de secousses électriques ou de blessures
lorsqu'on utilise des outils électriques, il faut toujours respecter les mesures de
sécurité suivantes.
LIRE TOUTES LES DIRECTIVES.
MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ POUR TOUS LES OUTILS
• BIEN DÉGAGER LA SURFACE DE TRAVAIL. Des surfaces et des établis encombrés peuvent être la cause de
blessures.
• TENIR COMPTE DU MILIEU DE TRAVAIL. Protéger les outils électriques de la pluie. Ne pas s'en servir dans
des endroits humides ou mouillés. Bien éclairer la surface de travail. Ne pas se servir de l'outil en présence
de liquides ou de vapeurs inflammables.
• SE PROTÉGER CONTRE LES SECOUSSES ÉLECTRIQUES. Éviter tout contact avec des objets mis à la terre,
comme des tuyaux, radiateurs, cuisinières, réfrigérateurs et autres objets du genre.
• ÉLOIGNER LES ENFANTS. Tous les visiteurs doivent être tenus à l'écart de l'aire de travail et il faut les
empêcher de toucher à l'outil ou au cordon de rallonge.
• RANGER LES OUTILS INUTILISÉS. Il faut ranger les outils dans un endroit sec, situé en hauteur ou fermé à
clé, hors de la portée des enfants.
• NE JAMAIS FORCER L'OUTIL. Afin d'obtenir un rendement sûr et efficace, utiliser l'outil à son rendement
nominal.
• UTILISER L'OUTIL APPROPRIÉ. Ne jamais exiger d'un petit outil ou d'un accessoire le rendement d'un outil
de fabrication plus robuste. Se servir de l'outil selon l'usage prévu.
• PORTER DES VÊTEMENTS APPROPRIÉS. Éviter de porter des vêtements amples et des bijoux qui peuvent
être happés par les pièces en mouvement. Porter des gants de caoutchouc et des chaussures à semelle
antidérapante pour travailler à l'extérieur. Protéger la chevelure si elle longue.
• PORTER DES LUNETTES DE SÉCURITÉ ET AUTRE ÉQUIPEMENT DE SÉCURITÉ. Porter des lunettes de
protection ou de sécurité à écrans latéraux, conformément aux normes de sécurité appropriées, et, au
besoin, un écran facial. Porter également un masque respiratoire si le travail de coupe produit de la
poussière.
• NE PAS MANIPULER LE CORDON DE FAÇON ABUSIVE. Ne pas transporter l'outil par le cordon ni tirer sur
ce dernier pour le débrancher de la prise. Éloigner le cordon des sources de chaleur, des flaques d'huile et
des arêtes tranchantes.
• ASSUJETTIR LA PIÈCE. Immobiliser la pièce à l'aide de brides ou d'un étau. On peut alors se servir des deux
mains pour faire fonctionner l'outil, ce qui est plus sûr.
• NE PAS DÉPASSER SA PORTÉE. Toujours demeurer dans une position stable et garder son équilibre.
• PRENDRE SOIN DES OUTILS. Conserver les outils propres et affûtés pour qu'ils donnent un rendement
supérieur et sûr. Suivre les directives concernant la lubrification et le remplacement des accessoires.
Inspecter régulièrement le cordon de l'outil et le faire réparer au besoin à un atelier d'entretien autorisé.
Inspecter régulièrement les cordons de rallonge et les remplacer lorsqu'ils sont endommagés. S'assurer que
les poignées sont toujours propres, sèches et libres de toute tache d'huile ou de graisse.
• DÉBRANCHER LES OUTILS. Débrancher l'outil lorsqu'on ne s'en sert pas, qu'on doit le déplacer d'un
endroit à un autre et qu'on doit le réparer ou en changer un accessoire (comme une lame, un foret ou un
couteau).
• ENLEVER LES CLÉS DE RÉGLAGE. Prendre l'habitude de vérifier si les clés de réglage ont été retirées avant
de faire démarrer l'outil.
• ÉVITER LES DÉMARRAGES ACCIDENTELS. Ne pas laisser le doigt sur l'interrupteur lorsqu'on transporte
l'outil. S'assurer que l'interrupteur est à la position hors circuit lorsqu'on branche l'outil.
• CORDONS DE RALLONGE. S'assurer que le cordon de rallonge est en bon état. Lorsqu'on se sert d'un
cordon de rallonge, s'assurer qu'il est de calibre approprié pour la tension nécessaire au fonctionnement
de l'outil. L'utilisation d'un cordon de calibre inférieur occasionne une baisse de tension entraînant
une perte de puissance et la surchauffe. Le tableau suivant indique le calibre approprié selon la longueur du
