Operation; Bevel Cutting - Makita GVJ02 Instruction Manual

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 jig saw 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.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).

To tilt the base, loosen the bolt on the bottom of the base
with the hex wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is
positioned in the center of the bevel slot in the base.

extraction on the opposite side.
