Protecting The Environment - Black & Decker BDCJS18N Original Manual

ENGLISH
Note: The shoe can be beveled to the left or to the right and
has detents at 22.5° and 45°.
This jig saw is equipped with three cutting actions, two 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.
Warning! Metal or hardwoods should never be cut in orbital
action.
Slide the cutting action button (7) between the three
u
cutting positions: 0, 1 and 2.
Position 0 is for straight cutting.
u
Positions 1 and 2 are for orbital cutting.
u
The aggressiveness of the cut increases as the lever is
u
adjusted from one to two, with two being the most
aggressive cut.
Sawing
Always hold the tool with both hands.
u
Let the blade run freely for a few seconds before starting
u
the cut.
Apply only a gentle pressure to the tool while performing
u
the cut.
If possible, work with the shoe plate (5) pressed against
u
the workpiece. This will improve tool control and reduce
tool vibration, as well as prevent the blade from being
damaged.
Hints for optimum use
General
Use a high speed for wood, a medium speed for
u
aluminium and PVC and a low speed for metals other than
aluminium.
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may
occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
u
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
u
To minimise splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
u
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through
this sandwich.
Sawing metal
Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
8
(Original instructions)
Use
u
saw blade for ferrous metals and a coarser saw
blade for non-ferrous metals.
When cutting thin sheet metal, clamp a piece of scrap
u
wood to the back surface of the workpiece and cut through
this sandwich.
