VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (FIGURE D)
A speed control wheel (8) is located on the top of
the saw. The speed increases as the wheel is turned
from a low speed setting of 1 to a high speed setting
of 7.
CUTTING ACTION – ORBITAL OR STRAIGHT (FIGURE E)
Check that the tool is not locked on before connecting it to a power supply. If the
trigger switch is locked on when the tool is connected to the power supply, it will start
immediately. Damage to your tool or personal injury may result.
This jig saw is equipped with four cutting actions, three orbital and one straight. Orbital
action has a more aggressive blade motion and is designed for cutting in soft materials
like wood or plastic. Orbital action provides a faster cut, but with a less smooth cut
across the material. In orbital action, the blade moves forward during the cutting stroke
in addition to the up and down motion.
NOTE: Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in
orbital action.
To adjust the cutting action:
- Move the cutting action lever (9) between the four
cutting positions: 0, 1, 2, and 3.
- Position 0 is straight cutting.
- Positions 1, 2, and 3 are orbital cutting.
- The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the
lever is adjusted from one to three, with three being
the most aggressive cut.
LED LIGHT
The jig saw is equipped with a light which projects
on the cutting path.
- The light will come on when the trigger switch is depressed and will go off when the
trigger switch is released.
REMOVABLE SHOE SLEEVE (FIGURE F)
The non-marring shoe sleeve (5) should be used
when cutting surfaces that scratch easily, such as
laminate, veneer, or paint. It can also be used to
protect the shoe surface during transportation and
storage.
To attach shoe sleeve, place the front of the shoe
(6) into the front of the shoe sleeve (5) and lower the
jig saw as shown in figure F. The shoe sleeve will
click securely onto the rear of the shoe.
To remove shoe sleeve, grasp the sleeve from the
bottom at the two rear tabs and pull down and away
from the shoe.
