Page 4: Save These Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: The operation of any jig saw can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. - Page 5 Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. WARNING: If any parts are missing, do not operate your saw until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury.
- Page 6 NOTE: If you desire not to use the variable speed control selector, turn it in the full counterclockwise direction. This will allow the speed of your saw to be controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression. Avoid running your saw at low speeds for extended periods of time.
- Page 7 HEX KEY STORAGE Insert hex key into storage compartment when not in use. It is located on the base of your saw as shown in figure 4. WARNING: Do not insert saw blade or hex key into air vents. They could come in contact with electrically live internal parts, and cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
- Page 8 Make sure the power cord is out of your way and not in the line of cut. Start your saw and move it forward on the work surface. Apply downward pressure to keep the saw steady and only enough forward pressure to keep the blade cutting.
- Page 9 I Mark the line of cut clearly on the workpiece. I Set the cutting angle at 0°. I Tilt your saw forward so that it rests on the front edge of the base and blade will not come in contact with the workpiece when the saw is turned on.
- Page 10 Be sure power cord is disconnected from power supply. Insert the arm through the two slots in the base of your saw as shown in Figure 12. Adjust edge guide to the desired width and lock in place with the edge guide screw.
- Page 11 METAL CUTTING Many kinds of metals can be cut with your saw. Be careful not to twist or bend the blades. DO NOT FORCE. If the blade chatters or vibrates excessively, use a finer-tooth blade or higher speed. If blade heats excessively, use lower speed.
