GENERALSAETYPRECAUTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. Ifthe plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the
three wire grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
•When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord
marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock. The following table shows the correct size to
use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of the tool.

PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattentionwhile
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
•Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.),
be sure voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate
of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the
tool can result in serious injury to the user - as well as damage to the tool.
TOOL USE AND CARE
•Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is
17434 Manual Revised 09-0727 Page 5

unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which is designed.
Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
•Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
•Do not alter or misuse tool. These tools are precision built. Any alteration or
modification not specified is misuse and may result in a dangerous condition.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a
risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow
instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create a
risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES SFOR JIGSAWS
A_, WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.
• Keep your body positioned to either side of the saw blade and not in direct
line with the saw blade.
•Do not reach under the workpiece. The blade extends under the
workpiece when saw is cutting.
•Do not touch the blade or the workpiece immediately after operation; they
may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
•Do not cut an oversized workpiece.
• Check for the proper clearance under the workpiece before cutting
so that the blade will not strike the workbench or material under the
workpiece.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is
turned on.
•Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces (handles) when performing an
operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make the exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and shock the operator.
• Secure material before cutting. Never hold a workpiece in your hand or
across your legs. Small or thin material may flex or vibrate with the blade,
causing loss of control.
•When ripping, always use arip fence or straight edge guide. This
improves the accuracy of the cut and reduces the chance of the blade
binding.
• Never cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT STACK more than
one workpiece on the worktable at a time.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip
17434Manual Revised 09-0727 Page 6 17434Manual Revised 09-0727 Page 7

could cause your hand to move into the blade.
• Never reach into the cutting path of the blade.
• Blade guide rollers must support the blade when cutting. The rollers must
rest against the back edge of blade. The only cutting operation when
rollers do not support the blade is the scrolling mode. When scrolling the
blade must swivel as it is guided to follow scroll patterns. Always move
the base back and blade guide up and back away from blade in scrolling
mode.
• Always use blades that have the correct size and shape. Blades that do
not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run erratically and will
cause loss of control.
• Always be sure that all adjusting screws and the blade holder are
fastened tightly before making a cut. Loose adjusting screws can cause
the tool to slip and loss of control may result.
_, WARNING: Use of this tool can generate dust containing chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium, from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed
areas with soap and water.
Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals!
_, WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may
cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use Sears
approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct
particles away from face and body.
WARNING: Your jigsaw should never be connected to the power source
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or removing bits,
cleaning it, or when it is not in use. Disconnecting the saw will prevent accidental
starting, which could cause serious personal injury.
When unpacking the box, do not discard any packing materials until all of the
contents are accounted for:
1. Carefully lift the saw out of the carton and place it on a stable, flat surface.
2. Open the box to locate the following:
• Jigsaw

ORBITAL ACTION
Orbital blade action thrusts the
blade forward on the cutting
strokes and increases the
cutting speed over normal up-
and-down action.
ORBIT-CONTROL LEVER
(Fig. 6)
This saw is equipped with an
orbital control that allows you to choose the best cutting action for your material.
Simply turn the lever to the desired position for the type of cut you are making.
Turn the lever to a higher setting to increase the orbital action.
Turn the lever to a lower setting to decrease the orbital action.
There are three orbital action cutting settings that can be chosen according to
different types of material.
"0" position: no orbital action for cutting most metal.
"1" position: moderate orbital action for cutting plastic, mild steel, and
hardwoods.
"2" position: more aggressive orbital action for cutting plywood and soft woods.
NOTE: In order to reach full orbital action. The blade must be facing straight
forward, the back of the blade must be resting in the groove of the roller, and
the base plate must be positioned all the way forward. Orbital action is not
detectable when the saw is running freely. The saw must be cutting in order for
orbital action to occur. The cutting speed is easier to see when cutting thicker
material.

GENERAL CUTTING TIPS
_1, WARNING: Do not let
familiarity with your saw make
you careless. Remember that a
Fig. 10
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to cause severe injury.
_i, WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses when operating
this tool.
_i, WARNING: The use of attachments or accessories that are not
recommended is dangerous.
1. Place the best side of the material face-down and secure it in a bench vise
or clamp it in place.
2. Draw your cutting lines or designs on the side facing you.
3. Place the front edge of the base plate on the material to be cut and align the
blade with your cutting line. (Fig 11)
4. Hold the saw firmly and turn it on.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
Press down (to keep
saw base plate against
the workpiece) as you
slowly push the saw in the
direction of the cut.
Gradually build up the blade
speed, cutting as close to
the line as possible (unless
you want to leave enough
room for finish sanding).
Fig. 11
As you cut, you may need
to reposition the vise or
clamps to keep the workpiece stable.
Do not force the saw, because the blade teeth may rub and wear without
cutting, which may result in breaking the blade.
Always let the saw do most of the work.
Always cut slowly when following curves, so the blade can cut through
cross grain. This will provide an accurate cut and will prevent the blade from
wandering.
METAL CUTTING
1. When cutting metal, always clamp the metal workpiece to a stable platform.
Thin metal should be sandwiched between two pieces of wood or tightly
clamped to a single piece of wood (wood on top of the metal). Draw the cut
lines or design on the top piece of wood.
2. When cutting metals, suitable cooling/cutting oil must be used. For easier
cutting, lubricate the blade with a stick of cutting wax (if available) or use
cutting oil when cutting steel. Spread the oil onto the blade or workpiece at
regular intervals during cutting in order to reduce wear or overheating the
blade
3. When cutting aluminum extrusion or angle iron, clamp the work in a bench
vise and saw close to the vise jaws.
4. Be extremely careful to move the saw very slowly as you cut. Use slower
speeds. Do not twist, bend or force the blade.
5. If the saw jumps or bounces as you cut, change to a blade with finer teeth.
If the blade begins to clog when cutting soft metal, change to a blade with
coarser teeth.
6. When sawing tubing with a diameter larger than the blade is deep, cut
through the wall of the tubing and then insert the blade into the cut, rotating
the tube as you saw.
,_, WARNING: To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power
source before making any adjustments or attaching accessories.
17434Manual Revised 09-0727 Page 14 17434Manual Revised 09-0727 Page 15

CUTTING WITH A STRAIGHTEDGE (Fig. 12)
,_ WARNING: To avoid
accidents, always disconnect
the tool from the power source
before making any adjustments
or attaching accessories.
1. Always use a rough-cut
blade whenever possible.
2. Mark the cutting line. Note
the distance between the
saw blade and the side
of the saw's base plate.
Position the straightedge
parallel to the cut line and at
a distance from the cut line that is equal to the distance between the edge of
the base plate and the saw blade.
OR
Mark the side edge of the saw base and clamp the straightedge on the mark
and parallel to the cut.
3. As you cut, keep the saw base edge flush against the straightedge and flat
on top of the workpiece.
PLUNGE CUTTING (Fig.13}
Plunge cutting is useful and
time-saving for making rough
openings in soft materials. It
makes it unnecessary to drill a
hole for an inside or pocket cut.
1. Draw lines for the opening.
2. Hold saw firmly and tilt it
forward so the front edge of
the base plate rests on the
workpiece.
3. Make sure that the blade is
well clear of the workpiece.
4. Start the saw and then gradually lower the blade.
5. When the blade touches the workpiece, continue pressing down on the front
edge of the base plate.
6. Slowly pivot the saw on the front edge of the base plate until the blade cuts
through and the base plate rests flat on the workpiece.
7. Then begin sawing on the cut line.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to plunge cut into hard materials, such as steel.
A_, WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed
by a qualified service technician at a Sears Service Center.
_1, WARNING: For your safety, always turn off the switch and disconnect the
tool from the power source before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
Periodic maintenance of your jigsaw allows for long life and trouble-free
operation. A cleaning and maintenance schedule should be maintained.
As a common-sense and preventive maintenance practice, follow these
recommended steps:
Inspect the blade; check it for wear or damage.
Use a soft clean and damp cloth to wipe the tool housing. A mild detergent
can be used but nothing like alcohol, gasoline or other cleaning agent. Never
use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
• Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent overheating of the
motor. Electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature
failure when they are used to work on fiberglass boats and sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings from
these materials are highly abrasive to electrical tool parts, such as bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool
be used for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compound, or plaster. During any use on these materials, it is extremely
important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
,_, WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
during power tool operations or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
A_, WARNING: Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
_, WARNING: Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may
be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
_I, WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc. to come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
A_, WARNING: Water must never come into the tool.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-
grade lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions.
