ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing jig saw blade
CAUTION:
Always clean out all chips or for-
eign matter adhering to the jig saw blade and/or
blade holder. Failure to do so may cause insufficient
tightening of the jig saw blade, resulting in a serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the jig saw blade or
the workpiece immediately after operation. They
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
CAUTION:
Always secure the jig saw blade
firmly. Insufficient tightening of the jig saw blade may
cause the blade breakage or serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
When you remove the jig saw
blade, be careful not to hurt your fingers with the
top of the jig saw blade or the tips of workpiece.
Before installing the jig saw blade, make sure that the
jig saw blade clamp lever is in the released position.
To install the jig saw blade, insert the jig saw blade
(teeth facing forward) into the jig saw blade holder until
it latches. The jig saw blade clamp lever moves to the
fixed position by itself and the jig saw blade is locked.
Make sure that the back edge of the jig saw blade fits
into the roller. Pull the jig saw blade lightly to make sure
that the jig saw blade does not fall off during operation.
