Metal Cutting; Dust Extraction - Makita VJ05 Instruction Manual

Finishing edges
To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the
jig saw blade lightly along the cut edges.

Metal cutting

Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause significant jig saw
blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be
greased instead of using a coolant.

Dust extraction

Clean cutting operations can be performed by connect-
ing this tool to a Makita vacuum cleaner.
