First, insert the hex wrench into the hole. Then push it
into the hook until it locked.

when operating the tool with the dust cover

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always hold the base flush with
the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause jig saw
blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
CAUTION:
Advance the tool very slowly when
cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool may
cause a slanted cutting surface and jig saw blade
breakage.

Turn the tool on without the jig saw blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then
rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move the
tool forward along the previously marked cutting line.

Bevel cutting

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before tilting the base.
CAUTION:
Raise the dust cover all the way
before making bevel cuts.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).
