OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
TURNING ON AND OFF (Fig. 4)
1. Connect the power cord of your jigsaw to a
standard household power outlet.
2. To turn the saw ON, depress the on/off
trigger switch.
3. To turn the tool OFF, release the trigger
switch.
4. To lock the on/off trigger switch in the "on"
position, press the trigger switch and hold
it on, then press in the lock-on button. The lock-on button allows the operator to keep
the jigsaw running without squeezing the trigger switch. This feature is convenient for
continuous sawing applications.
5. To release the lock-on button, press and release the trigger switch.
VARIABLE-SPEED DIAL (Fig. 5)
Your jigsaw is equipped with a variable-
speed dial. At the "MIN" position, there is no
blade action. The "MAX" position results in
the highest speed. Select the speed that is
appropriate for the material and the project at
hand.
HOW TO SELECT THE PROPER SPEED
The proper blade speed will differ, depending
on the type and thickness of the workpiece. As a general rule, slower speeds are best for
denser materials and faster speeds are best for soft materials.
NOTE:
Determine the optimum speed for cutting your workpiece by making a trial cut in a scrap piece of material.
WARNING!
•
Do not use the jigsaw for plunge or pocket cuts. The jigsaw is not designed for these operations.
Such use could result in serious personal injury.
•
Make sure that the switch is not locked in the ON position before plugging your jigsaw.
•
Allow the blade to come to a complete standstill before setting the jigsaw down.
