Note: Unplug tool before making adjustments.
5. Your Jigsaw can be adjusted from zero degrees to forty-five degrees for miter cuts by
loosening the bolt on the bottom of the base with the Hex Spanner (#32). See Figure 4.
Note: After loosening the bolt, tilt the base and use
the numbered gradient gauge on the housing
of the saw for an accurate angle. Tighten bolt.
6. By loosening the same bolt as in Figure 4, you can
slide the base back for cutting the front plane of a workpiece.
See Figure 5.
7. To plug-cut into a workpiece that hasn't been pre-drilled,
rest the rear of the base on the workpiece with the blade not
touching the surface. Start the tool and very slowly lower
the blade into the workpiece until the saw sits level. Then
move the tool forward to cut. Hold Saw firmly and beware
of kickback.
See Figure 6.
